About This Publication
This manual provides detailed installation instructions for mounting, wiring,
maintaining, and troubleshooting your MP-Series integrated linear stage. For
ease of use, going forward, it is referred to as a linear stage.
Who Should Use This Manual
This manual is intended for engineers or technicians directly involved in the
installation, wiring, and maintenance of linear stages. Any person that teaches,
operates, or repairs these linear stages must be trained and demonstrate the
competence to safely perform the assigned task.
If you do not have a basic understanding of linear stages, contact your local Allen-
Bradley distributor or Rockwell Automation sales representative for information
on available training courses before using this product.
Read this entire manual before you attempt to install a linear stage into your
machine. Doing so familiarizes you with the linear stage components and their
relationship to each other and the system. After installation, check all system
parameters to be sure you have configured your Logix control system properly. Be
sure to follow all instructions carefully and pay special attention to safety
concerns.
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000™ Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio
5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000 software and continues to be the
product to program Logix5000™ controllers for discrete, process, batch, motion,
safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. This environment is the
one place for design engineers to develop all of the elements of their control
system.
