4.3.1 Connecting
With the drive power disconnected, install the EIA-485 (RS485) module and connect the network cable as
instructed in the preceeding sections. Ensure the drive Run/Enable terminal is disabled then apply the correct
voltage to the drive (refer to drive’s user manual for voltage supply details).
4.3.2 Connect to the Drive with MotionView OnBoard
Refer to the PositionServo User Manual, section 6.2 for full details on configuring and connecting a drive
via MotionView OnBoard (MVOB) software. Contained herein is a brief description of launching MVOB and
communicating with the drive.
1. Open the PC’s web browser. Enter the drive’s default IP address [192.168.124.120] in the browser’s
Address window.
2. The authentication screen may be displayed if the PC does not have Java RTE version 1.4 or higher. If so,
to remedy this situation, download the latest Java RTE from http://www.java.com.
3. When MotionView has finished installing, a Java icon entitled [MotionView OnBoard] will appear on your
desktop and the MVOB splash screen is displayed. Click [Run] to enter the MotionView program.
4. Once MotionView has launched, verify motor is safe to operate, click [YES, I have] then select [Connect]
from the Main toolbar (top left). The Connection dialog box will appear.
5. Select [Discover] to find the drive(s) on the network available for connection.
[Discover] may fail to find the drive’s IP address on a computer with both a wireless network card and
a wired network card (or a PC with more than one network connection). If this happens, try one of the
following remedies:
Disable the wireless network card and then use [Discover].
Type in the drive’s IP address manually at the box [IP Address].
Then click [Connect]
6. Highlight the drive (or drives) to be connected and click [Connect] in the dialog box.
