During the configuration of the MicroFlex e100 and the NextMove e100 it will be necessary to switch the communications link
between the devices. The USB cable will need to be moved back and forth between the NextMove e100 and each drive. This is
referred to as a single port setup. Alternatively two copies of Mint Workbench can be used simultaneously provided the NextMove
e100 and the MicroFlex e100s have different USB port addresses. Changing the USB port address is explained below.
If this is the first time you have used Workbench you may be prompted to install a USB driver when you first connect to the drive
(depending on which version of Workbench you are using – later versions install the necessary device driver automatically).

− The EPL address should be set via the rotary hexadecimal switches on
the front of the MicroFlex e100. These can be set to anything in the range
01 to EF but it is typical to start the addressing from 03 and work
upwards as more axes are added. This allows Node/Axis/Encoder to
match (as encoders 0 to 2 are always local to the Nextmove e100). Set
the switches before the drive is powered up
− Make sure the MicroFlex e100 has 230 VAC and 24 VDC applied
− Connect to the MicroFlex e100 via the USB cable
− Run Mint WorkBench
− Workbench should detect the drive automatically and connection details
will appear in the list. If this does not happen click the
Scan
button.
− Make sure the
Launch Commissioning Wizard
box is checked. The
Launch Commissioning Wizard
box only needs to be checked when the
drive is first setup.

If the commissioning wizard does not automatically start it can be selected by choosing Tools->Commissioning from the Menu.
The Commissioning Wizard shows a sequence of screens displaying the current drive settings and requesting information required
to commission the drive. When each page is complete click the
Next
button to continue through the Wizard.
The first screen describes the process and offers the opportunity to set all drive parameters to their factory default setting. Make
sure the Reset to Factory Defaults box is checked and click the Next button.
