24 MaxMotion for Machines
Before invoking MaxMotion, you must first insert the adapter in the
parallel port on your PC computer. Each Identification Adapter is
unique so your MaxMotion program can only execute with the ID
adapter supplied with it. If you wish to attach a printer or a plotter to
the same parallel port, simply plug the parallel cable into the ID
adapter. Once installed, the ID adapter is totally unobtrusive and will
not hinder any of the capabilities of the computer.
The ID adapter has arrows on the side that is connected to the com-
puter. Along with arrows, it has the word computer between the arrows.
This side has a 25 pin male connector. Make sure that this connector
connects to the parallel (printer) port on the PC computer.
Laptop computers may not have the luxury of having more than one
parallel port. In this case, we are offering an ID key that will attach to
the USB port. Make sure you have a laptop computer that is equipped
with a USB port.
Solustan provides a necessary parallel port or a high current board with
its upgrade package. Typically, user can have more than one parallel
port on a desk top computer. The recommended connections in this
case would be to connect the ID key to the original parallel port while
the machine should be connected to the Solustan supplied port.
Installation of hardware for the upgrade of various machines
More and more machines are being retrofitted with MaxMotion
upgrades. As we learn, we add these machines to the list. Check the
Appendix D of this manual for information and procedures for
hardware upgrades of known machines at the time of this writing.
Please, check with the MaxMotion technical support group if you do
not find the specific machine that you plan to upgrade.
