Installation

Connect the device to a computer as follows:

Step 1	Step 2	Step 3

1. Plug the Mini-DIN to D-Sub serial adapter into your computer’s serial port and plug the device’s data cable into the adapter. You may need to use a cable extension to reach your computer. There is no need to power-down or reboot the computer. USB-to-RS232 converters are available if you have no RS232 serial port.

2. Connect the power plug of your power supply (2.1mm center positive) to the power connector of the T-CD device. If present, the green LED should light indicating the device has power (some devices may not have LEDs). Now connect the Chopper Drive device to the motion control device.

3. Install a demo program from the included CD, or download one from the support section of our website http://www.zaber.com. Follow the instructions in the readme file to install and run the program. As a simple first test, try entering these instructions:

Renumber all devices - Device:0, Cmd:2, Data:0

Home device 1 - Device:1, Cmd:1, Data:0

The wiring diagram below shows the motor connector pinouts as seen looking into the connector on the T-CD1000 or T-CD2500 housing. This information will be needed if you wish to drive your own motor. Note that Pin 4 is reserved for a maximum limit sensor which has not yet been implemented.
