[edit] Installation
- You can mount the NA actuators by the cylindrical mounting shank or by the four mounting holes on the square body section. See the NA web page for dimensions, resolution and other details.
[edit] Operation
- The NA actuators are designed to be controlled with the T-CD series chopper drive controllers. It is important to know the peripheral id of your actuator. If you ever need to restore the correct settings for your NA actuator, send restore settings (command 36) with the peripheral ID as the data.
[edit] Peripheral Ids
The T-CD motor controller is designed to control many different motors and actuators. The Restore Settings instruction should usually be issued with a Peripheral Id corresponding to the specific motor or motorized device connected. This will set the T-CD motor controller to the factory default settings for the motorized peripheral in question. For example, if a T-CD device is connected to an NA11B30, the user can issue the Restore Settings instruction with a Peripheral Id of 31130. This will automatically set all non-volatile parameters (range, mode, running and hold currents, etc) to values that will work with the NA11B30.
The table below shows Peripheral Ids for all Zaber products compatible with T-CD devices. Note that some of these products may be discontinued. For a list of settings corresponding to each of these Peripheral Ids, see http://www.zaber.com/wiki/T-Series/Peripheral_Ids_and_Default_Settings.

'*' These peripheral IDs are only valid on T-CD2500 (not on T-CD1000) because these devices require more than 1000mA/phase driving current.
If the Restore Settings instruction is issued with data of 0 rather than one of the above Peripheral Ids, then the T-CD device will be set to its lowest running current possible. This is the safest setting that prevents damage to any motor connected to the T-CD, but as a result, you will likely not be able to run a motor with the T-CD set to this condition. You can either issue the Restore Settings instruction with one of the Peripheral Ids listed above, or you can adjust each relevant setting independently. Note that the default settings for a given Peripheral Id are just a starting point to get your device working. The settings should still be adjusted individually for optimum performance in your application.
