OEM650/OEM650X • INTRODUCTION
1 Introduction
Chapter Objective
The information in this chapter will enable you to:
❐ Understand the product’s basic functions and features
OEM650 Description
The OEM650 Drive is intended to be a high-performance basic
engine around which the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
designs his motion control system. Its single-power DC input makes
it a convenient and cost effective motion control module. The drive
offers a basic set of customer configurable features. These features
are designed to meet the needs of most customers. The OEM650 is
optimized to operate size 23 and 34 motors.
The OEM650 is a bipolar, recirculating, microstepping drive designed
to drive two-phase permanent magnet hybrid step motors. The drive
uses a custom ASIC, surface mount, and MOSFET technologies to
give high performance in a small package while providing short
circuit protection. The OEM650 is compatible with all Compumotor
indexers.
The mechanical design is a fully enclosed product that uses a
heatplate technique to provide a heat dissipation path. The user
must attach the OEM650 module to a suitable mounting surface.
OEM650X Description
The OEM650X Drive/Indexer is the same drive product as the
OEM650, but it includes an indexer (position controller). The
OEM650X is the same size as the OEM650 and it incorporates the
same design technologies (bipolar, recirculating, microstepping drive
designed to drive two-phase permanent magnet hybrid step motors,
custom ASIC, surface mount, and MOSFET technologies).
The indexer utilizes commands from Compumotor’s popular and
easy-to-use X Series Language. The indexer also provides additional
I/O control and communication
OEM350/350X Description
The OEM350/OEM350X is a low power version of the OEM650 drive.
It is designed for use with step motors that have lower current
ratings and higher inductance (10 mH to 80 mH) than Compumotor
1
INTRODUCTION • OEM650/OEM650X
step motors. Operation of the OEM350/OEM350X is identical to that
of the OEM650/OEM650X. For clarity, instructions in this manual
use only the name OEM650/OEM650X. Except where differences are
specifically noted (resistor values for motor current settings, for
example), OEM650 instructions also apply to the OEM350, and
OEM650X instructions also apply to the OEM350X.
Features
The OEM650 requires an external power supply. It uses 24VDC 75VDC for its power input. Compumotor’s motors are two-phase
hybrid motors (permanent magnet type). Four, six, or eight leaded
motors may be used with the internal phases connected for either
parallel or series operation. The motor’s inductance cannot drop
below 0.5 mH. For best performance, motor inductance should be
between 1 mH and 10 mH, but motors with inductance ratings as low
as 0.5 mH may be used. Use the OEM350/OEM350X with motors
whose inductance is in the 10 mH to 80 mH range. The OEM650/

3. Slide the drive cover back on.
4. Attach the motor (to A+, A-, B+, B-). Do not connect the motor to
the load at this time (refer to Figure 2-2 for 23 size motors or
Figure 2-3 for 34 size motors). OEM size 23 motors may be wired
in a series or parallel configuration. If you are using a 75VDC
power supply (OEM300) with the drive or drive indexer, Compumotor recommends that you use a series configuration, however; a
parallel configuration should be used when the power supply is
24VDC - 48VDC. Parallel configurations will cause the drive to
dissipate slightly more heat than a serial configuration. This
increase in drive temperature will not affect the unit's performance,
but it may adversely affect heat-sensitive devices that are stored
within the same enclosure.

OEM size 34 motors are internally wired in parallel. A 75VDC
power supply (OEM300) must be used to achieve maximum performance; however, lower voltage power supplies may be used (less
than 75VDC but must be greater than 24VDC). The lower voltage
power supply will not adversely affect the system's low-speed
performance, but it will not yield the optimum high-speed performance achieved by using the 75VDC power supply.

Table 2-7. OEM Drive Motor Current (Compumotor Motors)
If you use a non-Compumotor motor, carefully follow the motor
manufacturer's instructions regarding motor wiring and the
proper operating current. Compumotor recommends a motor
inductance of 2 mH measured in series or parallel (0.5 mH - 10
mH is acceptable). Table 2-8 shows resistor values that you must
use to properly set motor current when using the OEM650/
OEM650X with a non-Compumotor motor. When the motor
current range jumper (jumper 1—see Figure 2-1) is installed, the
drive can generate 2.5 to 7.5 amps. When jumper 1 is removed,
the drive can generate 0.83 to 2.5 amps. If you use the OEM350/OEM350X, use Table 2-9 for resistor and current values to use
with high-inductance (10 mH to 80 mH), low current motors.

for the OEM650.
4. Using the indexer, send step pulses to the drive that will rotate the
motor one CW revolution (25,000 step pulses) at 1 rps (25,000
steps per second).
5. Using the indexer, send step pulses to the drive that will rotate the
motor one CCW revolution at 1 rps. The drive's default direction
is CCW (i.e., if the the direction input is not activated, the motor
will rotate CCW—if the direction input is activated, the motor will
rotate CW). If the motor does not rotate in the desired direction,
reverse the direction sense for your system by reversing the leads
going to the A+ and A- terminals.

Figure 2-10. OEM650/OEM650X Without a Heatsink
Figure 2-11 shows the heat generated by the OEM650/OEM650X
that needs to be dissipated by the mounting surface.
The OEM uses a heatplate design to dissipate heat. The drive should
never be operated for more than a few minutes without properly
mounting the drive to an adequate thermal heatsink.
The total thermal dissipation in the OEM650/OEM650X is almost
constant, regardless of whether the motor is stationary or in motion.
The motor current output jumper settings determine the motor
phase currents that cause the power losses shown in Figure 2-11.
The cabinet's thermal resistance is approximately 0.35°C/Watt in
still air with the heatplate vertically oriented.

Over-Temperature Protection
The OEM650/OEM650X is over-temperature protected. The drive will
shut down if its heatplate temperature exceeds 58°C (136°F). To
measure drive temperature under operating conditions, position a
thermal probe on the left edge of the heatplate, approximately 1.5"
from the top of the drive, as shown in Figure 2-12.
Measure heatplate temperature
on left side, 1.5" from top of drive.

To keep the drive cool, and ensure that over-temperature protection
does not unexpectedly shut down the drive, the temperature of the
mounting surface adjacent to the drive should not exceed 55°C
(131°F).

INSTALLATION • OEM650/OEM650X
Two types of optional heatsinks can be used for applications that do
not have an adequate mounting surface.
Mounting With OEM-HS1
The small heatsink (OEM-HS1) is intended to be used with a current
setting up to 5A in still, ambient (25°C) air. If the drive is to be
mounted in an ambient environment hotter than 25°C, active cooling
(forced air) will be required to maintain the heatsink temperature
below 55°C. This heatsink may be purchased as an option.
Two #8-32 screws are needed to mount the OEM650/OEM650X to
the OEM-HS1 heatsink. Use a star washer on the bottom screw to
ensure proper electrical grounding. Two #8 screws should be used
to mount the OEM-HS1 to the cabinet heatsink.
Do not use a star washer between the back of the OEM or heatplate
and the mounting surface. The mounting surface must be flat. Use
thermal grease or thermal pads to facilitate heat transfer from the
drive’s heatplate to your mounting surface.
A heatsink with holes tapped for metric screws is available. Its part
number is OEM-HS1-M4. Consult your Compumotor sales guide for
more information.

Figure 2-1 shows the location and function of the 11 OEM650/
OEM650X jumpers. When the unit is shipped to you, all 11 jumpers
are installed. Each jumper's function is defined in this section.
Jumper #1: Motor Current Range
This jumper sets the range of user configurable motor current
settings. Refer to Tables 2-8 and 2-9 for motor current values withjumper 1 installed and removed.
Jumpers #2 - #5: Motor Resolution
These jumpers control motor resolution (how many steps are in one
revolution). Although higher resolutions typically result in finer
positioning and improved low-speed smoothness, it does not necessarily result in improved accuracy.
Your indexer (if you are using an OEM650) and drive should be set to
the same resolution. If the drive and indexer’s motor resolution
settings do not match, commanded accelerations and velocities will
not be performed accurately.
Jumpers #6 - #8: Motor Waveform Shape
These jumpers control the shape or waveform of the commanded
motor current. Motor waveforms can reduce resonance problems
and allow the motor to run smoothly. This function will not operate
when the 200-step or 400-step motor resolutions are used.

the drive does not receive a step pulse for one second. Full current
is restored upon the first step pulse that the drive receives. Do not
use this function in systems that use an indexer and an encoder for
position maintenance. If used in this environment, the system will go
in and out of the Auto Standby mode.

INSTALLATION • OEM650/OEM650X
Motor Mounting
Rotary stepper motors should be mounted with flange bolts and
positioned with the centering flange on the front face. Foot-mount or
cradle configurations are not recommended because the motor's
torque is not evenly distributed around the motor case and they offer
poor registration. Any radial load on the motor shaft is multiplied by
a much longer lever arm when a foot mount is used rather than a
face flange.
WARNING
Improper mounting can reduce system performance & jeopardize personal safety.
The motors used with the OEM650/OEM650X can produce very
large torques. These motors can also produce high accelerations.
This combination can shear shafts and mounting hardware if the
mounting is not adequate. High accelerations can produce shocks
and vibrations that require much heavier hardware than would be
expected for static loads of the same magnitude. The motor, under
certain profiles, can produce low-frequency vibrations in the mounting structure. These vibrations can cause metal fatigue in structural
members if harmonic resonances are induced by the move profiles
you are using. A mechanical engineer should check the machine
design to ensure that the mounting structure is adequate.
CAUTION
Consult a Compumotor Applications Engineer [800-358-9070] before you machine the
motor shaft. Improper shaft machining can destroy the motor’s bearings.
disassemble the motor (it will cause a significant loss of torque).
Never
Attaching the Load
This section discusses the main factors involved when attaching the
load to the motor. The following three types of misalignments can
exist in any combination.
Parallel Misalignment
The offset of two mating shaft center lines, although the center lines
remain parallel to each other.
Angular Misalignment
When two shaft center lines intersect at an angle other than zero
degrees.
End Float
A change in the relative distance between the ends of two shafts.
22
OEM650/OEM650X • INSTALLATION
Couplings
The motor and load should be aligned as accurately as possible. Any
misalignment may degrade your system’s performance. There are
three types of shaft couplings: single-flex, double-flex, and rigid.
Like a hinge, a single-flex coupling accepts angular misalignment
only. A double-flex coupling accepts both angular and parallel
misalignments. Both single-flex and double-flex, depending on their
design, may or may not accept end-play. A rigid coupling cannot
compensate for any misalignment.
Single-Flex Coupling
When a single-flex coupling is used, one and only one of the shafts
must be free to move in the radial direction without constraint. Do
not use a double-flex coupling in this situation; it will allow too
much freedom and the shaft will rotate eccentrically, which
will cause large vibrations and immediate failure.
Double-Flex Coupling
Use a double-flexed coupling whenever two shafts are joined that are
fixed in the radial and angular direction (angular misalignment). Do
not use a single-flex coupling with a parallel misalignment;
this will bend the shafts, causing excessive bearing loads and
premature failure.
Rigid Coupling
Rigid couplings are generally not recommended. They should be
used only if the motor is on some form of floating mounts, which
allow for alignment compensation.

Step Input Signal Specification
The OEM650's inputs are optically isolated and may be driven
(activated) by providing a positive pulse to the plus input with
respect to the minus input. This input may also be differentially
driven. The input driver must provide a minimum of 6.5 mA—approximately 3.5 VDC (15 mA maximum).
Step Pulse Input
Operate the step pulse input within the following guidelines:
The OEM650's inputs are optically isolated and may be driven
(activated) by providing a positive pulse to the plus input with
respect to the minus input. The input may also be differentially
driven. The input driver must provide a minimum of 10 mA—approximately 3.5 VDC—to ensure adequate operation.
Direction Input
The direction may change polarity coincident with the last step
pulse. The direction input must be stable for at least 120 µsec
before the drive receives the first pulse.
24
OEM650/OEM650X • INSTALLATION
Remote Input
The Remote input is an optically isolated input that uses an ILQ2
quad OPTO isolator. The REMOTE+ terminal is connected to the
anode of the OPTO lead via a 681Ω current limiting resistor. The
REMOTE- terminal is connected to the cathode of the OPTO lead.
The OPTO requires a minimum of 3.5 mA (≈3.5VDC) to ensure proper
system operation.
This input allows you to reduce current to a motor from a remote
location. This is accomplished by changing the current select
resistor via the remote input. When the remote input is enabled, the
open collector transistor connected to the REMOTE screw terminal
will conduct to ground. If the CURRENT and REMOTE terminals are
shorted together (with a wire) motor current will be reduced to zero.
Motor current can also be reduced by a percentage if CURRENT and
REMOTE are shorted with the appropriate resistor. A remote motor
current value must be selected (see Table 2-8) to set the operating
current. Identify the current resistor associated with the operating
current you select. Use the resistor values to determine the remote
resistor that must be installed between the CURRENT and REMOTE
terminals. Use the following equation to detemine R

Fault Output
This output is an open-collector, open emitter output from a ILQ2
OPTO isolator. The output transistor will conduct when the drive is
functioning properly. The transistor will not conduct properly when
any of the following conditions exist.
❏ No power is applied to the drive
❏ There is insufficient voltage (<24VDC)
❏ The driver detects a motor fault
❏ The remote input is enabled

INSTALLATION • OEM650/OEM650X
Gear Shift Input
The Gear shift input is an optically isolated input that uses and ILQ2
quad OPTO isolator. The GS+ terminal is connected to the anode of
the OPTO lead via a 681Ω current limiting resistor. The GS- terminal
is connected to the cathode of the OPTO lead. The OPTO requires a
minimum of 3.5 mA (approximately 3.5VDC) to ensure proper system
operation.
This function allows a user with a limited frequency generator to
achieve higher velocities while using high resolution settings. This is
accomplished by the drive multiplying each step pulse that it receives by a factor of 8. This function may be invoked on-the-fly;
however, to prevent stalling and to keep track of motor position, it
should only be invoked when the motor is not moving.
I/O is not OPTO isolated, I/O GND is common to VDC-.
Step (Signal 1) & Direction (Signal 2) Outputs

Figure 2-20. Daisy Chain Configuration
Commands prefixed with a device address control only the unit
specified. Commands without a device address control all units on
the daisy chain. The general rule is: Any command that causes the
drive to transmit information from the RS-232C port (such as a status
or report command), must be prefixed with a device address. This
prevents daisy chained units from all transmitting at the same time.
Attach device identifiers to the front of the command. The Go (G)
command instructs all units on the daisy chain to go, while 1G tells
only unit #1 to go.
When you use a single communications port to control more than
one OEM650X, all units in a daisy chain receive and echo the same
commands. Each device executes these commands, unless this
command is preceded with an address that differs from the units on
the daisy chain. This becomes critical if you instruct any indexer to
transmit information. To prevent all of the units on the line from
responding to a command, you must precede the command with the
device address of the designated unit. No OEM650X executes a
device-specific command unless the unit number specified with the
command matches the OEM650's unit number. Device-specific
commands include both buffered and immediate commands.

Motor Type
OEM650/OEM650X motors are custom-made for use with these
drives and drive/indexers. They are not available as a standard
model from any other manufacturer. These motors are designed for
low loss at rest and at high speed. Motors in the same frame size
from other manufacturers may sustain considerably higher iron
losses than an OEM650/OEM650X motor. OEM motors are wound
to render inductances within a range suitable for OEM Series products. If you do not use an OEM Series motor, you should consult
Compumotor's Applications Engineering Department for assistance
(800-358-9070). OEM650s/OEM650Xs are designed to run 2-phase
PM step motors only. Do not use variable reluctance or DC motors.
31
INSTALLATION • OEM650/OEM650X
Current (Amps)
Compumotor has assigned the values shown in Table 2-14 for OEM
Series motors to produce the highest possible torque, while maintaining smoothness. Higher currents will produce higher static
torque; but, the motor will run roughly and may overheat. Do not
run the parallel rated current into a motor that is wired in series—it
will destroy the motor's windings.
Power Dump
This drive has built-in power dump circuitry to monitor power supply
surges caused by a regenerative load. The power dump circuit is
used in conjunction with an externally mounted power resistor. The
circuitry effectively closes a switch to ground when the power supply
voltage exceeds 85VDC. This switch terminal is at the screw terminal labeled DUMP. The power dump feature dissipates the energy
created by a regenerative load (100 joules maximum). The power
dump is not designed to protect the unit from overvoltage caused by a
poorly regulated or faulty power supply. A 35Ω, 10 watt power
resistor (such as a Dale RH-10) is the recommended power dump
resistor. The resistor must be adequately heat sunk to meet its rated
wattage. The power dump resistor must be connected between the
DUMP and VDC+ screw terminals.
CAUTION
Never allow the voltage supplies by the power supply to exceed 80VDC. Damage to
the power dump resistor may result.

OEM650/OEM650X • TUNING & SPECIFICATIONS
3 Tuning & Specifications
Chapter Objectives
The information in this chapter will enable you to:
❏ Tune and operate your system at maximum efficiency.
❏ Use the information to compare system performance with different
motor, power, and wiring configurations (speed/torque curves).
Short-Circuit Protection
The OEM Series is protected against phase-to-phase and phase-toground short circuits. The drive is designed to withstand short
circuits during initial power up. Short circuits that occur while the
motor is operating may damage the drive. Never short circuit the
motor leads for motor braking.
Resonance
Resonance exists in all stepper motors and is a function of the
motor’s mechanical construction. It can cause the motor to stall at
low speeds. Most full step motor controllers jump the motor to a set
minimum starting speed that is greater than the resonance region.
The OEM650X’s microstepping capability allows you to operate a
motor smoothly at low speeds.
Motors that will not accelerate past 1 rps may be stalling due to
resonance. You can add inertia to the motor shaft by putting a drill
chuck on the shaft. The drill chuck may provide enough inertia to
test the motor when it is not loaded. In extreme cases, a viscous
damper may also be needed.
Mid-Range Instability
All step motors are subject to mid-range instability, also referred to
as parametric oscillations. These oscillations may stall the motor at
speeds from 6 to 16 rps.
Tuning Procedures
You can tune the OEM650X to minimize resonance and optimize
smoothness by adjusting the small potentiometers (pots) on the top
of the unit. Figure 3-1 shows the location of the potentiometers and
their functions.
❏ Phase A Offset: Adjusts DC offset of the phase current for Phase A.
❏ Phase B Offset: Adjusts DC offset of the phase current or Phase B.
Since tuning is affected by operating current, you may have to adjust
these pots during the configuration or installation process. For best
33
TUNING & SPECIFICATIONS • OEM650/OEM650X
results, the drive and motor should be on, connected to the load, and
warmed up for 30 minutes prior to tuning.
Phase B Offset

Phase A Offset
Figure 3-1. Tuning Potentiometers
Gauging Motor Resonance
There are several methods that you can use to determine the level of
motor resonance in your system.
Tachometer Method
Use an oscilloscope to gauge the output of a tachometer attached to
the motor shaft. The tachometer will output a DC voltage, proportional to speed. This voltage will oscillate around an average voltage
when the motor is resonating. The amplitude of this oscillation will
be at its maximum when you run the motor at its resonance speed.
The goal of this tuning method is to tune the motor for its lowest
oscillation amplitude.
Sounding Board Method
You can practice your tuning skills with an unloaded motor placed
on a sounding board or table. When you command a velocity that is
near the motor’s resonance speed, the phenomenon will cause an
audible vibration. The goal of this tuning method is to tune the
motor for the least amount of vibration.
Stethoscope Method
When you tune your motor under loaded conditions, you can hear
the audible vibration caused by the motor’s natural frequency by
placing the tip of a screw driver against the motor casing and placing
the handle of the screw driver close to your ear (as you would a
stethoscope). You will also be able to hear the different magnitudes
of vibration caused by the motor’s natural frequency. The goal of
this tuning method is to tune the motor for the least amount of
vibration.
34
OEM650/OEM650X • TUNING & SPECIFICATIONS
Touch Method
After you have had some experience with tuning, you should be able
to locate the motor’s resonance speed by placing your fingertips on
the motor shaft and adjusting the motor’s velocity. Once the reso-nance speed is located, you can tune the motor for maximum
smoothness in the same way.
Tuning the Drive to the Motor
To tune the OEM650X, follow the directions below:
1. Command the drive (via RS-232C or STEP & DIRECTION inputs)
so that the motor is running at maximum roughness, as shown in
Table 3-1 for the 1st speed motor resonance.
3. Double the motor speed (2nd speed resonance) until the motor
runs rough again.
4. Adjust offsets A and B again for best smoothness.
5. Repeat above steps until no further improvement is noted.
Motor Waveforms
Step motor manufacturers make every effort to design step motors
that work well with sinusoidal current waveforms. However, due to
physical limitations, most motors operate best with a current waveform other than a pure sine wave.
The purpose of adjusting motor current waveforms is to cause the
step motor to move with equal step sizes as the current waveforms
are sequenced through the motor. This waveform matching will also
help the motor run more smoothly. This can be changed with
jumpers 6-8 (refer to Table 2-11).
Motor waveforms are usually adjusted after the drive has been tuned
to its motor. If you do not have precision measurement equipment,
you may select the correct motor waveform with one of the three
methods described previously in this chapter (Tachometer Method,
Sounding Board Method, Stethoscope Method, and Touch Method).
These empirical methods generally yield acceptable results.

4 Troubleshooting
Chapter Objectives
The information in this chapter will enable you to:
❏ Maintain the system to ensure smooth, efficient operation
❏ Isolate and resolve system problems
Drive Maintenance
Ensure that the drive's heatplate has proper thermal contact with
the mounting surface. Enclosures must be connected to earth
ground through a grounding electrode conductor to provide a lowimpedance path for ground-fault or noise-induced currents (use a
star washer with the lower mounting screw on the drive). All earth
ground connections must be continuous and permanent. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they are tight.
Motor Maintenance
Inspect the motor regularly to ensure that no bolts or couplings have
become loose during normal operation. This will prevent minor
problems from developing into more serious problems.
Inspect the motor cable periodically for signs of wear. This inspection interval is duty-cycle, environment, and travel-length dependent.
The cable should not have excessive tensile force applied to it and
should not be bent beyond a one-inch radius of curvature during
normal operation. Tighten all cable connectors.
Reducing Electrical Noise
For detailed information on reducing electrical noise in your system,
refer to the current Compumotor Catalog.
Problem Isolation
When your system does not function properly (or as you expect it to
operate), the first thing that you must do is identify and isolate the
problem. When you accomplish this, you can effectively begin to
resolve and eradicate the problem.
The first step is to isolate each system component and ensure that
each component functions properly when it is run independently.
You may have to dismantle your system and put it back together
piece by piece to detect the problem. If you have additional units
available, you may want to use them to replace existing components
in your system to help identify the source of the problem.
41
TROUBLESHOOTING • OEM650/OEM650X
Determine if the problem is mechanical, electrical, or softwarerelated. Can you repeat or re-create the problem? Random events
may appear to be related, but they may not be contributing factors to
your problem. Investigate the events that occur before the subsequent system problem.
You may be experiencing more than one problem. You must solve
one problem at a time. Document all testing and problem isolation
procedures. You may need to review and consult these notes later.
This will also prevent you from duplicating your testing efforts.
Once you isolate the problem, take the necessary steps to resolve it.
Use the solutions in this chapter. If your system’s problem persists,
call Compumotor at 800-358-9070.

OEM650/OEM650X • TROUBLESHOOTING
Testing the Motor
If the motor fails to move, you should test the motor with an ohmmeter to examine the resistance between the motor connections. If the
motor is not malfunctioning, the source of the problem is probably
within the drive. If you operate a faulty drive with a reliable motor,
you may damage the motor. If you find that the motor is not faulty,
remove power, and remove the motor from the drive. Use the following steps to test the motor.
1. Remove power from the system. Detach the motor from the drive.
2. With the motor detached from the system, use an ohmmeter to
check the resistance across Phase A. It should be approximately 2
ohms.
3. Now use the ohmmeter to check the resistance across Phase B. It
should be approximately 2 ohms too (the resistance across PhaseA and Phase B should be nearly identical).
4. Use the ohmmeter to check the resistance between Phase A and
Phase B. It should be infinite (∞).
5. Use the ohmmeter to check the resistance between Phase A and
Earth (the motor case shaft). It should be infinite (∞).
6. Use the ohmmeter to check the resistance between Phase B and
Earth (the motor case shaft). It should be infinite (∞).
7. Turn the shaft manually. There should not be any torque.
If the motor responds as described to each of these steps, it is
functioning properly. The source of the problem is probably within
the drive.
RS-232C Problems
Use the following procedure to troubleshoot communication problems that you may have with the OEM650X.
1. Be sure the host computer’s transmit (Tx) wire is wired to the
peripheral’s receive (Rx) connection, and the host computer’s
receive (Rx) wire is wired to the peripheral’s transmit (Tx) connection. Switch the receive and transmit wires on either the host or
peripheral if the problem persists.
CAUTION
OEM650X Rx, Tx, and GND pin outs are not 2, 3, and 7 like most devices.
45
TROUBLESHOOTING • OEM650/OEM650X
2. Confirm that the host and peripheral are configured for the same
baud rate, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
3. Use DC common or signal ground as a reference, not earth
ground.
4. Cable lengths should not exceed 50 ft. unless you are using some
form of line driver, optical coupler, or shield. As with any control
signal, be sure to shield the cable-to-earth ground at one end only.
5. To test the terminal or terminal emulation software and the RS232C cable for proper three-wire communication, unhook the
OEM650X and enter a character. You should not receive an
echoed character. If you do, you are in half duplex mode. Connect the host’s transmit and receive lines together and send
another character. You should receive the echoed character. If
not, consult the manufacturer of the host’s serial interface for
proper pin outs.
Software Debugging Tips
This section offers helpful tips for debugging programs and understanding errors and fault conditions. The OEM650/OEM650X has
several tools that you can use to debug a problem in the system.

Returning the System
If your OEM650/OEM650X system is faulty, you must return the
drive and motor for replacement or repair. A failed drive can damage
motors. If you must return your OEM650/OEM650X to effect
repairs or upgrades, use the following steps:
1. Get the serial number and the model number of the defective
unit(s), and a purchase order number to cover repair costs in the
event the unit is determined by Parker Compumotor to be out of
warranty.
2. Before you ship the drive to Parker Compumotor, have someone
from your organization with a technical understanding of the
OEM650/OEM650X and its application include answers to the
following questions:
• What is the extent of the failure/reason for return?
• How long did it operate?
• How many units are still working?
