Getting Started
To begin working with your BLuAC5-Si servo drive, you must have the following:
• a compatible servo motor
• cables to connect the motor to the drive. If you are using an Applied Motion
A, N or M motor, use BLUENC and BLUMTR-FA cables (one of each).
You must use an “FA” (filtered) motor cable for proper operation of the BLUAC.
J motor, use 3004-301-3M and 3004-307-3M cables (one of each).
• a small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• a personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP, Vista or Vista 64bit.
• The Applied Motion CD that came with your drive.
• An Applied Motion programming cable (included)
If you’ve never used a BLU servo before, you’ll need to get familiar with the drive and the
set up software before you try to deploy the system in your application. We strongly recom-
mend the following:
1. Install the Si Programmer™ software from the CD.
2. Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion Products...Si Program-
mer.
3. Connect the drive to your PC using the programming cable supplied.
4. Connect the drive to the AC power source (may be switched).
5. Connect the drive to the motor.
6. Apply power to the drive.
7. Follow the instructions in the software manual or in the on-line help.
The connectors and other points of interest are illustrated on the next page. Depending on
your application, you’ll need to make connections to various parts of the drive. These are
detailed later in the manual.
