Chapter 1Stage Safety
Location TitleLabelDetails
ADanger-Pinch Points
and Heavy Objects
The linear stage presents a muscle strain hazard if one person attempts to
lift it. When attempting to move the linear stage use a two-person-lift to
prevent personal injury or damage to the linear stage.
To Installer - There exists a Crush and Cut hazard while installing the linear
stage. The linear stage weighs from 13…63 kg (28…140 lb).
To User - The Pinch Point label identifies a moving object hazard, caused by
the movement of the carriage on the linear stage. Never put fingers, hands,
or limbs near the linear stage while running motion commands. Before
executing any motion command, check that all maintenance tools have
been removed from linear stage.
All types of linear stages, especially uncovered, present a pinch point
hazard. This hazard may occur if fingers or hands come between the end
cap and a moving carriage. Always lift the linear stage by the base and
keep fingers and hands away from the opening and edges parallel to the
carriage.
BDanger-Hazardous
Voltage
The Hazardous Voltage label identifies the junction box as a hazardous
voltage area of the linear stage. To avoid injury be sure to follow LockoutTagout procedures before attempting maintenance on these linear stages.
CDanger-Strong
Magnets
The Strong Magnets label identifies non-ionizing radiation found in the
linear stage. Magnet channels inside the linear stage are constructed with
strong magnets. Strong magnets can disrupt the functionality of automatic
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICD); people with a pacemaker
should not work near the linear stage. Maintenance personnel working on
the linear stage should avoid the use of metallic tools and secure items
such as badge clip and other personal effects that could be attracted by the
strong magnets. Strong magnets can erase magnetic media. Never allow
credit cards or floppy disks to contact or come near the linear stage.
DDo Not Lift by
Junction Box
Do not attempt to move the linear stage by grasping the cable junction box.
Moving the linear stage in this manner will damage the linear stage and
create a pinch or crush hazard. The junction box is attached to the carriage,
which is free to move. Lifting the linear stage in this manner will allow
uncontrolled movement of the heavy base. Always use a two-person lift
and grasp the linear stage by the base at the end caps. Always keep
fingers clear of the carriage’s path of travel.
EStay Clear
Do not put hands or objects on the linear stage cover. Doing so could
deform the cover and damage the linear stage, causing excessive wear on
the cover supports or scraping noises when the linear stage is in motion.
FSharp Edges
Always remove strip seals before removing the top or side covers. If it
becomes necessary to remove the top or side covers or change the strip
seal, exercise care when working near or on the strip seal. The edges of
the strip seal are sharp and can cut if accidentally hit or if handled
inappropriately.
Safety Labels
To prevent injury and damage to the stage, review the safety labels and their
warning details and location before using the stage.

End Cap Impacts
Install the stage to avoid interference with the building, structures, utilities, other
machines and equipment that can create a trapping hazard of pinch points.
Dress cables by using the Clearance Requirements
diagram on page 23 as a guide.
Do not cross the path of motion or interfere with the cable carrier motion.
Stages are capable of sudden and fast motion. Always Lockout-Tagout stage
systems before doing maintenance. Systems integrated with stages must contain
interlock mechanisms that prevent motion while users are accessing the stage.
Rockwell Automation is not responsible for misuse, or improper implementation
of their equipment.
When running the stage at its maximum rating, the temperature of the slide can
reach 75
ºC (167 ºF).
A vertically or inclined mounted stage does not maintain position with the power
removed. Under the influence of gravity, the slide and its payload falls to the low
end of travel. Design engineers must design in controlled power down circuits or
mechanical controls to prevent the stage and its payload from being damaged
when the power fails.
The internal bumpers of the stage are designed to absorb a large impact from
uncontrolled motion. The table on page 53
lists the energy that the bumpers can
absorb before risking damage to the stage. The payload must be secured to the
slide such that it does not sheer off in the event of an impact in excess of the
bumper ratings.
The bolts securing the end caps are not be able to sustain multiple impacts and
can eventually sheer. Correct the cause of the uncontrolled motion that caused
the impact before continuing the use of the stage.

Stage Storage
Mounting the Stage
Store the stage in area that is clean, dry, vibration free, and at a relatively constant
temperature. Refer to Environmental Specifications for CHPS-Series Stage on
page 75
for more detailed information.
This section discusses mounting methods for your stage.
Before You Begin the Mechanical Installation
The machine designer is most qualified to determine the number and type of
fasteners to use for mounting the stage. The following information is a guide for
the decision-making process.
Determine the Number of Fasteners Required
The length of the stage determines the number of mounting fasteners that are
required.
Use one of the following equations to calculate the required mounting hardware.
Figure 4 - Fasteners Required for Stages with 150 mm and 200 mm frame size (CHPS-x6xxxxxLMxxx and CHPS-x8xxx-xLMxxx)

Mounting the Stage
Follow these steps to install a stage on its mounting surface.
1. Be sure the mounting surface is clear of any and all foreign material.
Do not use abrasives to clean the surface.
If necessary, stone the mounting surface (acetone or methanol can be
applied as cleaning agent).
2. Verify that the flatness of the surface that the stage is to be mounted.
The total indicator reading (TIR) is 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.) per 300 mm
(120 in.). TIR or runout, correlates to an overall flatness of a surface.
3. Lift the stage onto the prepared mounting surface
ATT EN TI ON : Do not attempt to move the stage by grasping the cable junction
box. Moving the stage in this manner can damage the stage and create a pinch
or crush hazard. The junction box is attached to the carrier that is free to move.
Lifting the stage in this manner causes uncontrolled movement of the heavy
base. Always use a two person lift and grasp the stage by the base at the end
caps keeping fingers clear of the carrier’s path of travel.
The two lubrication ports on each end cap (four total) are M10 x1.5 tapped through
holes and can be used to install lifting hooks supplied by the customer.
Personal injury and equipment damage can occur if stage is handled improperly.

Connecting the Stage
The installation procedure assumes you prepared your system for correct
electrical bonding and understand the importance of electrical bonding for
correct operation of the system. If you are unfamiliar with electrical bonding, the
section Attaching the Ground Strap and Interface Cables
briefly describes and
illustrates correct system grounding techniques.
ATT EN TI ON : Plan the installation of your stage so that you can perform all
cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with it removed. Be careful to keep any
metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign matter can
become lodged in the stage, that can result in damage to components.
SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid hazard of electrical shock, perform all mounting and
wiring of the stage prior to applying power. Once power is applied, connector
terminals can have voltage present even when not in use.

Attaching the Ground Strap and Interface Cables
The only electrical connections necessary between the stage and the drive system
are the ground strap and the two cables.
1. For electrical safety, connect the ground screw on the chassis of the stage to
the ground bus for your system.
To reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI), bond the
stage with a braided ground strap, 12 mm (0.5 in.) wide minimum, to a
grounded metal surface. This creates a low-impedance return path for
high-frequency energy.
2. Torque the ground screw at the stage to 2 N•m (18 lb•in)
3. Form a drip loop in each cable at a point directly before it attaches to the
stage. Refer to the Connecting Kinetix Type Motor and Feedback Cables
diagram for a visual example.
ATTENTION: Be sure that cables are installed and restrained to
prevent uneven tension or flexing at the cable connectors.
Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors can result in
the connector’s environmental seal opening and closing as the cable
flexes.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to
the motor and its components.

Inadvertent pin connections can result in unexpected motion or result in
irreversible damage to the components.
For Kinetix type connectors.
a. Carefully align each cable connector with the respective motor
connector as shown in Figure 1.
b. Do not apply excessive force when mating the cable and stage
connectors. If the connectors do not go together with light hand force,
realign and try again.
ATTENTION: Be sure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent
uneven tension or flexing at the cable connectors. Excessive and uneven
lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the connector’s
environmental seal opening and closing as the cable flexes. Failure to
observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor
and its components.
c. Hand tighten the knurled collar five to six turns to fully seat each
connector.
Figure 9 - Connecting Kinetix Type Motor and Feedback Cables
ATTENTION: Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-
tightened the recommended number of turns.
Improper alignment is indicated by the nee d for excessive force, such a s the
use of tools, to fully seat connectors.
Connectors must be fully tightened for connector seals to be effective.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the
motor, cables, and connector components.

ATT EN TI ON : PTC thermistor supplies a signal that indicates the stage
temperature limit condition. Connect this signal to control system or drive
system so it shuts down the stage power upon reaching a limit condition.
Multiple levels of stage thermal protection are strongly recommend.
The following thermal protection methods are also recommended.
• Typically digital drives use RMS current protection and or estimated

temperature vs. time (I
T) software protection schemes. Activated and set
these available features according to the stage model ratings for your
application.
• Set the maximum value of ± peak-current-magnitude limits of your drive
to the stage’s peak-current rating.
• For drives without stage protection features, install stage fuses (current
rating not to exceed stage continuous RMS) according to local and
National Electrical Code. Uses time-delay type fuses that are rated for the
drive PWM output voltage.

Please read the following notices about using your stage.
ATT EN TI ON : A runway condition is caused by incorrect motor, Hall, or encoder
wiring. It results in uncontrolled speeding of the stage. Keep away from the line
of travel while commissioning the stage.
The customer is responsible for ensuring the servo control system safely
controls the stage with regards to maximum force, acceleration, speed, and
preventing runaway conditions.
ATT EN TI ON : Stages are capable of very high forces, accelerations and speeds.
Moving parts can cause personnel injury. Before running the stage, make sure
all components are secure.
Check that the stage travel and air gap is clear of foreign matter and tools.
Objects hit by the moving stage can cause personnel injury or damage to the
equipment.
ATT EN TI ON : Do not operate the stage with protective covers removed. Do not
go near electrically live parts. High voltages can cause personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT
Travel Limits
CHPS-Series stages offer three methods for containing slide travel: software
travel limits, optional overtravel limit sensors, and standard bumpers stops. For
safest operation use all three.
Set software travel limits and overtravel limit sensors according to the maximum
speed of the servo drive system and the payload of the application. You can
determine the Deceleration Distance between the slide and the end-of-travel
bumpers based on the combination of the Deceleration Rate of the load, and the
available peak force from the stage-drive. Do a calculation similar to the one in
Calculating the Stopping Distance
for your application.
Bumper Stop on the stage can stop the slide up to the ratings listed in the table on
page 53.
Bumper stops are not intended as range of motion stops, but they can stop the
moving slide up to the ratings listed in Bumper Stops
on page 53.
Calculating the Stopping Distance
In the following example we calculate the stopping distance for a 10 kg payload
on a CHPS-x8xE-xLMxxxx stage driven by a Kinetix 6000 drive (2094-xxxxx) by
using the specification found in Appendix A
necessary.

5. Slowly and steadily move the stage by hand to perform the Hall signal test,
except this time check the motor phases are in-phase with the Hall signal as
shown in the Motor Phasing Schematic
Make sure the phase error between Hall signal and in-phase Back EMF
does not exceed ± 5 electrical degrees.
6. If poor results were obtained in step 5 repeat the test at the stage power
terminations to check field wiring
ATTENTION: Dangerous voltages, forces and energy levels exist in servo
controlled systems. Extreme care must be exercised when operating,
maintaining or servicing the stage to prevent harm to personnel or
equipment.

Motor Coil Resistance
Measurements
If a motor coil electrical problem is suspected perform this check.
1. Let the coil attain ambient room temperature, approximately 25 °C
(77 °F).
2. Verify the drive power is OFF.
3. Disconnect all stage leads (phases and ground) from the drive.
4. Measure the phase-to-phase (ptp) resistance of the phase combinations (U
to V, V to W, and W to U) and record the values.
Verify these three readings are approximately equal to each other.
Figure 17 - Motor Phasing Schematic
Compare the phase resistance readings to the cold resistance specification
of the coil model. See CHPS-Series Stage Technical Specifications
page 83
.
on
If the three readings are balanced but vary from the specified reading, the
reason can be a special coil model. Cable resistance can cause the result to
be significantly higher.
5. To rule out the cable resistance, disconnect the stage cable and repeat the
procedure this time at the stage motor power termination at the junction
box.
6. Measure and verify the phase-to-ground resistance for each phase is
>100 MΩ. A lower reading indicates a potential electrical problem.
To rule out a field cable problem disconnect the stage cable and repeat the
procedure this time at stage motor power termination.
If any reading with the cable disconnected is
≤ 100 MΩ, consult Rockwell
Automation; the stage can have an internal electrical problem
Do not perform coil or insulation electrical stress tests (Megger or Hi-Pot test)
without consulting Rockwell Automation technical support.

Chapter 9Maintenance
Bearing Lubrication Ports (2x per end cap)
Lubricate the Bearing
Your stage requires lubrication every 6 months or 2500 km (1550 mi) of travel,
which ever comes first. Use the MPAS grease gun kit and grease cartridge, catalog
numbers MPAS-GPUMP and MPAS-CART respectively.
1. Position slide at end of travel and clamp it to hold the stage against end
cap.
ATTENTION: Do not use clamp across the side panels. This can deform
and damage the side panels.

with bearing grease nipple is felt.
4. Pump handle until back pressure is felt or two strokes are completed.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to the second bearing on this side.
6. Move slide to opposite end of travel and repeat steps 1
7. Remove clamp.
8. Reinstall the protective caps on all the lubrication ports.
1. If installed remove strip seal and side cover on the side opposite the cable
carrier.
2. Clear any coarse or abrasive particles with a clean air line with maximum
pressure of 10 psi.
3. Clean scale with a clean dry cloth. Avoid the use of solvents.
4. If necessary use isopropyl alcohol sparingly, apply with a wetted cloth by
using a gentle wiping action.

IMPORTANT
Strip Seal Cleaning
Cover Cleaning
Clean the strip seals, if installed, by using a lint free cloth lightly saturated with
isopropyl alcohol
Repl ace the stri p seal if it c annot be cleane d, or if an uneven or scored surface is
detected during cleaning.
A buildup of foreign material on the strip seal degrades the performance of the
linear stage. This buildup coupled with rapid movement of the slide and the
resulting friction can score the surface and create a burnished appearance on
the strip seal
Elements contributing to a typical buildup on the strip seals are dust, grease,
and other contaminates normally encountered in any operating environment
that is not strictly controlled.
Refer to the Strip Seal Removal
Replacement procedure on page 66 when performing this task.
Clean the covers at the same time you clean the strip seals. Use pressurized air and
a lint free cloth lightly saturated with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or
grease.

Stage Stacking 89
Specifications for Stacked Stages 90
Stage Stacking
Certain combinations of MPAS linear stages are designed to be stacked on top of
one another. Stacking forms an X-Y axis arrangement. A center-stack
arrangement mounts the top axis in the middle of the bottom axis. The top stage
is centered on the bottom stage.
Table 12 - Stacking Stages
Rockwell Automation Publication CHPS-UM001D-EN-P - July 201489
Appendix C Stacking Stages
Specifications for Stacked
Stages
Linear stage specifications are based on mounting the stage to a precision base
along the entire length of the stage, and MPAS stage specifications follow this
convention. In the case of stacked stages, the top axis is no longer supported along
its entire length, and this alters both the precision and the load carrying capability
of that stage. Furthermore, linear stage specifications are based on a specified test
payload with a low center of gravity that is centered on the carriage. Deviations
from the test payload condition can impact the performance of both the top and
bottom linear stages.
The following table provides information about the payload that the top stage, or
axis, can carry without derating the life of its bearings from those specified for the
same stage mounted as a single-axis stage on a precision base.

Motor File
The following guide supplements the information found in the Ultra3000 drive
manuals. Some of the motor parameters are critical for commutation and motor
protection. Incorrect entry of theses motor parameters can cause motor problems,
Ultraware assumes a linear motor is functionally equivalent to a rotary motor.
However, the functional equivalent to a rotary motor is a complete linear motor
driven stage. To account for the difference, the parameters highlighted in bold in
the Linear Motor Parameter File (.mdb extension)
table shown below must be
adjusted to stage level specifications.
Complete CHPS-Series stage motor specifications are in the linear motor
specifications information contained in this manual or the motor’s data sheet.
Identify the stage motor option for your CHPS-Series stage and use the
corresponding data.
Conversion Factors:
• Ultra3000 drive ampere units are measured at the peak of the sine wave,
not RMS. Standard CHPS-Series stag e motors are rated both ways. Be sure
to select the correct value. If necessary, use the following conversion.
ampere peak = 1.4 x RMS

Recommended Start-up
Sequence
Follow these steps for optimal motor commutation, performance, overcurrent,
and overtemperature protection.
1. Set General Axis Parameters (.udb file extension)
a. Auto Motor Iden = disabled for linear motors.
b. Motor Model: select as needed.
c. Total Moving Mass in kg = coil mass or magnet mass + moving
structure mass+ moving cable assembly mass + customer load.
d. Current Limits in Amperes peak - set as needed for the application. The
drive uses the lowest value between the drive rating and the motor
rating.
e. Display Precision - Set to 2 decimal places.
f. User Current Fault in Amperes peak - this is the continuous current. Set
as needed for the application. The drive uses the lowest value between
drive rating and the motor rating. To avoid nuisance tripping of the fast-
acting protection, it can need to be set slightly higher.
2. Follow instructions from the standard drive manual and other applicable
documentation. Pay special attention to electrical noise control by using
cable shielding, shield termination, grounding, and bonding.
3. Wiring must match the CHPS-Series stage and Ultra drive connectivity
table provided on page 92
. Incorrect wiring or Hall offset combinations
can result in motor motion that has excessive force ripple and increased
current, temperature, or reduced force per unit of current.
4. Verify that the correct motor file is selected or correct custom motor
parameter values are entered.
5. User Current Fault parameter - this value must not exceed the CHPSSeries stage motor’s continuous current rating.
94Rockwell Automation Publication CHPS-UM001D-EN-P - July 2014
Start-up Guide for CHPS-Series Stage with Ultra3000 Drive and Ultraware Software Appendix D
6. Current Limit parameters - the positive and negative current limit, must
not exceed the CHPS-Series stage motor’s intermittent current rating. Set
per the application requirements.
7. Verify correct encoder polarity and test distance count. Encoder must
count in positive direction when CHPS-Series stage is moving in the
positive stage direction as shown in Stage Positive Direction
on page 48.
Also see CHPS-Series Stage and Ultra3000 Drive Troubleshooting
Reference on page 96. Incorrect encoder sequencing can cause a runaway
motor condition or incorrect commutation.
8. Perform Commutation Diagnostics only if enough free +/- travel distance
is available. You can guarantee optimal commutation only by doing
oscilloscope verification.
You can use the following checks for non-optimal commutation
verification. These tests cannot detect bad spots and other anomalies.
• Use Current Control Panel mode to give a small positive current
command. Verify the stage moves in the positive direction.
• Check for consistent force resistance over whole travel by pushing the
slide to multiple locations.
• Check that the amount of current to move the load and overcome
friction forces at a low steady speed are correct.
• The motor’s force constant (Kf ) can also be verified with a force gauge.
The Ultraware software command units for current scaling are in
/V.

9. When current mode tests successfully, perform auto velocity or manual
velocity tuning with the Ultraware oscilloscope function, do this even if
you are using current mode to control your application. This further
evaluates commutation and check for a good step response.

1. Check for mechanical problems with the stage assembly.
2. Use a test current value high enough to overcome non-acceleration forces
of stiction and friction, cable drag, magnetic attraction. A typical value
used is 15…20%. But values as high as 40% can be necessary.
3. Verify the free travel range from motor starting position is at least two
magnet pitches or 1 electrical cycle, in the negative direction, and four
magnet pitches or 2 electrical cycles, in the positive direction.
(1) The phasing diagram in the drive manual is for phase-to-neutral measurements. This requires use of a balanced resistor Y network
to create a virtual neutral. Alternatively, the phase-to -phase diagrams and procedures in the Ultra 100/200 can be used because
they are equivalent to each other after the phase shift correction is made.

This type of commutation does not use the Hall effect sensor. Motors with a Hall
effect sensor connection can be set to self-sensing commutation, the Hall effect
signals are ignored. Self-sensing start-up is not commutation diagnostics. You can
perform commutation diagnostics at any time on Hall effect or self-sensing
motors. Self-sensing start-up refers to the motor motion initialization that is
executed automatically after every power-up and enabling of the system. It
synchronizes the arbitrary encoder position or count to the drive’s initial
commutation angle.
This is the self-sensing start-up sequence:
• Enable is activated.
• Motor locks into detent or zero force position > up to ± one magnet pitch
(½ electrical cycle) of motion jerk.
• After jerk motion settles out in 1 or 2 seconds, motor executes a slow speed
test move of approximately two magnet pitches or one electrical cycle in
the positive direction.
• Drive disables, ready for normal operation.
During this startup, the drive evaluates the test motion. A fault indicates that the
motor motion was not as expected. Possible reasons include the following:
• Mechanical problem with the stage such as excessive stiction, friction, or
cable drag.
• Obstruction during test motion.
• Incorrect coil or encoder wiring.
• Encoder or signal problems, device fault, wiring problem, noise.
• During startup, the drive uses a fixed 1/6 of the peak motor or drive
current, whichever is lower.
Ultraware software version 1.3 with firmware revision 1.16 (or greater) has
improved functionality with proper alignment under any single obstruction:
• If during the positive test move, after detent, an obstruction is
encountered, a test move is done in the opposite direction after reinitializing the new detent.
• If an obstruction prevents the motor from going to the real detent, for
example, detent past negative hard stop, the Ultra drive senses a false detent
during the test move due to false alignment. After re-initializing of the new
detent a second test move is done in the positive direction.
• The self-sensing routine can take 2x longer because of obstructions.
• If a second obstruction is detected during whole routine, such as low test
current or too high friction, the test faults.
• The new versions lets a user programmable test current value.
• Limit signals sent to the Ultra Drive are ignored during self-sensing start-
up.
