sufficient heat dissipation. Motor surface temperature should not exceed

152F (70°C.) In continuous duty applications when the motor is not

mounted to a suitable heat dissipating device, motor surface temperature

Optional Joysticks

TherearetwotypesofexternaljoysticksavailablefortheVXM.Oneisdigitalthat

typethatcanoperateupto4motorswith2VXMsFormoreinformation/configuration

refertoAppendixHandJ.

1. Connectthecablestomotorsandlimitswitches(ifactuatorhaslimitswitches.)

Connectthe9pinserialcablefromtheVXM’srearpanelconnectorlabeled"RS-232"and

yourcomputer'sserialport(usuallylabeled“COM”or“|O|O|”.)Forcomputerswithonly

USBports,useaUSBtoRS-232adapter.

Motorcablesshould neverbebundledtogetherwiththeLimitSwitch,orany

I/Ocabling. putanyoftheVXM'scableswithpowercablesinacommonelectrical

keepLimit SwitchandI/Ocablesatleast2inchesfromMotorconduitorducting.

andPowercables.

CAUTION:Motorcablelengthorconnectorsshouldnotbealteredwithoutconsulting

Velmexfirst.ImproperwiringcanresultinpoorperformanceanddamagetotheVXM.

Alteredcablesandresultantdamageisnotcoveredbythewarranty.

IMPORTANT:TheVXMcanautomaticallydetectlimitswitchinputsthatarewired

normallyclosedtooperate(motorstopsonopencircuit.)Normallyclosedisthestandard

usedonallVelmexproducts.However,Velmexrotarytableswiththehomeswitchoption

requiresthatthelimitswitchinputsbereconfiguredinsetup.Refertothe“setL”

commandinAppendixN.

Neverconnectordisconnectmotorswiththepoweron,thiscanresultin

severedamagetomotordriveelectronics.

2. ConnectcablefromDCpowersupplytoVXM

3. PlugtheDCpowersupplyintoaACoutlet.

4. TurnontheVXMbypushingtherightsideoftherockerswitchlocatedonthefront

panel.

RS-232 Interactive Mode

TheVXMcanbecontrolledinaninteractivemode.Interactivemodeiswhenahost

computersendsonlythecommandsnecessarytoperformasingleoperation(usuallyan

Index),thenthehostwillwaitfortheVXMtofinishbeforesendinganyadditionalcommands.

ThefollowingprocedurewouldbeusedforrunningtheVXMinaninteractivemode:

ThehostputstheVXMOn-Linebysendingan"F"

Thehostsendsa"N"tozeropositionregistersifnecessary

Thehostsendsspeed,andaccelerationifnecessary

ThehostsendsanIndex("I"command)

NOTE

Communication Methods

ProgrammingoftheVXMisaccomplishedbysendingcommands(ASCIIcharacters)to

theVXMthroughtheRS-232interface.Thesimplestmethodtosendcommandsiswith

theVelmexCOSMOSprogram,orwithHyperTerminalinMicrosoftWindows.

Anothermethodtosendcommandsiswithcommerciallyavailablelanguagessuchas

forMaster/Slaveoperation.

AdesignatedMasterwillattempttoestablishcommunicationstoaSlaveonpower-up.

IftheMastercannotfindtheSlaveitwilltryagainwhenitisrequiredtosendamotor3

Slave,eitherbecausethereisnotoneconnected,oritisnotpowered.

TheMasteristheVXMthatrunsmotors1and2,communicateswithahost,andcan
