Software setup:
1. Configuration of rack 1
a. Switch off Master CPU module (Rack 1)
b. Plug in the handheld on Master CPU module (with S-IPC only at initiation)
c. Setup the latest software-version „NWControl“
i. Copy latest version (only folder „NWControl“) to main directory of an USB
flash drive. (e.g.: directory-tree of USB flash drive at device F:\):
ii. Execute file „ConfigUsb.exe“ (ON the USB flash drive!) to configure the USB
flash drive for a update (Choice „1“)
iii. Plug USB flash drive into CPU module (X6 USB)
d. Switch on Master CPU module, wait for update- and boot-sequence (ca. 60
seconds)
e. Start-up screen with software-version, check it!
(Afterwards the main menu will be displayed.)
f. Only software-update:
i. Repeat step 1 for all racks.
ii. -> step 5
g. Initiation:
i. -> step 2
2. Only systems with more than 7 Actuators!
-> configure other racks
a. Switch off Slave CPU module (rack 2 up to 9)
b. Plug in the handheld on Slave CPU module
c. Plug in USB flash drive with latest software-version „NWControl“
d. Switch on Slave CPU module

e. Enter the right rack number with the handheld an press „ENTER“
f. Switch off and on all racks
g. The Display on the CPU module shows the rack number
h. A screen with the software-version and the rack number appears
3. Only systems with more than 7 Actuators!
-> connect all Slaves with Master CPU module
a. At Master CPU module:
Main menu -> Service -> Initiation -> No. Ra „edit “
b. Add with „+“ all racks,
the Ethernet connection will be tested automatically
i. Communication test successful: step 3.c.
ii. Communication test not successful:
- Are all CPU modules switch on and configured right (step 2.)?
- Ethernet cables connected?
- Correct Ethernet cable? (Direct connection of 2 CPU modules: crossed
Ethernet cable. Usage of a switch: Standard Ethernet cable.)
c. Exit the screen (soft key F1) and save changes.
4. Actuator configuration of the system
a. Handheld (up to 7 AC):
i. Open Screen:
Main menu -> Service -> Initiation -> No. AC „edit “
ii. Add with „+“ all Actuators,
CAN connection will be tested automatically
1. Communication test successful: step 4.a.iii.
2. Communication test not successful:
Check cables (see also step 5.a.)
iii. Exit the screen (soft key F1) and save changes

b. Touch:
i. Open screen:
Unit Config -> Motion Controller
ii. Add with „+“ all Actuators
iii. Exit the screen to the setup-menu
5. system test (Handheld or Touch)
a. No error message: Can communication?
If there is a error message:
- Are all stepper motors switched on and configured right
(for DIP switches look at electrical drawings)
- CAN-bus cable connected correctly?
- Terminating resistor on the last Actuator?
b. Perform home position drive (single and grouped)
c. Move actuators single and grouped
d. (Perform force calibration)
6. inspection sheet
7. Read out the parameter-settings with laptop (if necessary)
a. Setup the Ethernet connection between Master CPU module and laptop
i. Use a crossed Ethernet cable for a direct connection between Laptop and
Master CPU module
if a touch is connected use X7 ETH1
else use X8 ETH2
ii. Manually set the IP-Address on the Laptop
- start -> control panel -> network connections
- right-click on the connection, select poperties
- Select „Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)“ and afterwards „Properties“
- Select: „Use the following IP-Address:“ and enter IP-Address
ETH1: IP-Address: 10.10.150.1
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
ETH2: IP-Address: 192.168.173.210
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Exit the settings-menu by pressing “OK”
b. Open file „NWControl_Parameter.xls “
(Click on: „Enable Macros “ if a warning appears)
c. Press button „Refresh“ (sheet „Formular“)
d. Enter IP-Address of Master CPU module (ETH1: 10.10.150.1; ETH2:
192.168.173.221) and confirm by pressing „OK“.
e. Wait until the red Status-Field shows „Ready...“.
f. Complete the yellow-marked fields.
g. Print out the settings
h. (After finishing re-set the IP-Address:
Select „Obtain an IP-Address automatically “, step 7.a.iii)
