The initial screen that will be accessed when Motion Console is opened is the Hardware
Summary. This screen shows the basic status of the motion controller firmware (MEI
board), indicated by either a yellow smiley face (OK) or a red sad face (Bad) symbol in
the upper left of the screen. (see below)
On the right side of the Hardware Summary screen will be listed the 3 motor axes of the
F-6100, shown as Axis 0 (X), Axis 1 (Y), and Axis 2 (C). If there are fewer or more than
three axes shown, there is generally a problem with the MEI configuration at that time.
To operate or diagnose one of the three stepper motor axes, simply double click on the
axis you want to work with. In this first example, we will select the X motor axis, or
Axis 0. This will open the Axis Operation screen for this motor, as shown below.
