Installation and Operation

For optimal performance, the SAN-12 Axis Controller should be installed in a NEMA 12 enclosure, maintaining a minimum distance of 600 mm from high transient voltage sources. Proper grounding and adherence to specified wiring practices are essential to prevent electrical noise and ensure system stability. The controller supports both standalone and multi-unit configurations, with RS485 daisy-chain connections facilitating communication among up to 31 spindle controllers.

Safety Precautions

• Avoid operating the equipment with wet hands to prevent electric shock.
• Keep fingers away from the unit’s radiating fins and tool motors during and after operation, as these parts may become hot.
• Ensure all parameters are confirmed and adjusted before operation to prevent unexpected movements.
• Do not repeatedly turn the equipment on and off to avoid malfunction.

The FEC AFC1500 SAN-12 Axis Controller stands out as a robust and versatile solution for precise motor control and fastening operations, catering to a wide range of industrial applications.
