Getting Started
To use your 1240i-485 motor control, you will need the following :
• a power supply (see page 7 for help choosing one).
• a compatible step motor (see page 17 for recommended motors).
• a small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors - an Applied Motion
Products screwdriver suitable for this purpose is included with your drive.
• a personal computer running Windows 3.1, 95, 98 or NT with an RS-485 serial
port or adapter (486 or better with 8 MB ram recommended)
• SCL Setup Utility software that came with your 1240i
• SCL Software Manual - on the CD that came with your 1240i
The sketch below shows where to find the important connection and adjustment
points. Please examine it now.
Always use the blue & white Applied Motion screwdriver with the con-
nectors. Larger screwdrivers may remove the plastic dimples that
prevent the screws from falling out.
