KAGRA VIS Operations Manual - Setup and Use of Stepper Motor Drivers
Back to Operation Manual main page
The stepper motor chassis designed by Kamiizumi-san has a TMCM-6110 driver card and a NPort® 5150A serial-Internet interface. See D1605365. Sekiguchi-san has written a document in Japanese - this page is an English version of the good bits plus a bit extra specific to KAGRA.
Provisional IP number allocation
Yamamoto-san has allocated a block of IP numbers for stepper drivers, starting at 10.68.150.50. As stepper driver boxes are added, please add them to the following table. Type B suspensions definitely use 2 boxes each. Shoda-san and Takahashi-san need to confirm for Type Bp and Type A.

Setup
Download and install the NPort Administrator program on a Windows PC. (Windows running under Parallels on a Mac also works if the network is set to "bridged" mode for whatever built-in or other LAN port is used, e.g., "Belkin USB-C LAN (Bridged)".)
Ask around for and install the TMCM-PC.exe program (it doesn't seem to be available any longer from the website - TMCM-IDE is not what you want).
Connect the stepper motor driver chassis to ±24 V power and turn it on. Check that the relay switch on the back is set to "on" and that the LEDs "NPort 5150A" and "TMCM 6110" are lit.
Run an Ethernet cable between the PC and the LAN port on the back of the chassis.
Run the NPort Administrator program with administrator privileges:
Press the Search button. The NPort 5151 should appear in the list with an IP address like 198.168.127.200:
Select the connected device and open the web browser. Please note that you can not make settings from the web browser unless you have administrator privileges:
Note: The Setup can be done either from the NPort Administrator program, or from the built-in web-server, by going to http://198.168.127.200 in a web browser.
