Section 1: Unpacking the System
The DSM314, Digital Servo Amplifiers, and Motors are packed separately. This section describes
how to unpack the hardware and perform a preliminary check on the components.
Unpacking the DSM314
Carefully unpack the DSM314 and PLC system components. Verify that you have received all the
items listed on the bill of material. Keep all documentation and shipping papers that accompanied
the DSM314 motion system.
Unpacking the Digital Servo Amplifier
There are two digital amplifier and servo subsystem packages shipped for use with the DSM314,
the
α
Series or the
β
Series.
The digital servo amplifier is shipped in a double-layered box. Remove the top layer of packing
material to uncover the amplifier. Next, carefully remove the inner box from the outer layer. Then
lift the amplifier out of the inner box. Retain any loose parts or gasket materials packed with the
amplifier. Visually inspect the amplifier for damage during shipment.
Note
Do not attempt to change any pre-configured jumpers or switches on the
amplifier at this time.
Unpacking the FANUC Motor
FANUC motors are packed two different ways, depending on their size. The largest motors are
shipped on wooden pallets and are covered with cardboard. Most motors, however, are packed in
cardboard boxes.
1. Unpacking Instructions:
•
For those FANUC motors packed in boxes, open the box from the top. The motors are
packed in two pieces of form-fitted material. Carefully lift the top piece from the box.
This should allow sufficient clearance for removing the motor.
•
If the motor is attached to a pallet, remove the cardboard covering. This will allow access
to the bolts holding the motor to the pallet. Remove the bolts to free the motor from the
pallet.
2. Inspect the motor for damage.
3. Confirm that the motor shaft turns by hand. NOTE: If the motor was ordered with the
optional holding brake, the shaft will not turn until the brake is energized.
