Dover Motion DOF-5 Quick Start Guide for CAN Communication
This guide covers the basic steps for using a DOF-5 stage with Pro-Motion for basic control &
testing. See the DOF-5 User Guide for more information.
1) The USB drive included with the stage has the following materials:
a. 41-1602 (IXAAT Driver Installation File)
b. 36105-01 (C-Motion Startup Guide & Examples)
c. 41-1114.pdf (DOF-5 User Guide)
d. 41-1212.pdf (DOF-5 Software Guide)
e. 41-1600.pdf (DOF-5 Quick Start Guide, CAN)
f. ######_Config.txt (Configuration File)
g. FIR_SN_######.pdf (Final Inspection Report)
2) Remove the shipping stop (See image)
3) The User Guide (41-1114.pdf) and troubleshooting section 15)
below have information on the DIP switches for communications
setup.
a. The DOF-5 ships with these switches pre-set per the order,
reference Final Inspection Report on USB drive for shipped
configuration.
4) Mounting the stage for powerup
Note that these are calibrated stages, orientation and load matter!
a. Attach the specified load to the stage (the objective, lens, etc.) or a dummy
mass. Without the load stage will be unstable and/or buzz.
b. Ensure the correct orientation, counterbalance at the top (See image) when
mounted vertically. Mount in a horizontal orientation if ordered without
counterbalance.
5) If using IXAAT CAN Adapter, install IXAAT Drivers included on
USB (41-1602)
6) If using Dover Motion supplied cabling (36102-00), connect cable
to stage and tighten retention screws. Connect cable to serial
communications adapter. With power supply powered OFF,
connect to 24V power supply. Turn power on.
7) Download and install the Pro-Motion user interface from the provided USB
Install file is named: Pro-Motion5.20.exe. Note: The DOF requires Pro-Motion version 5.20 to work properly
8) Start Pro-Motion, and the Select Interface Type box opens
automatically
a. Select the “CAN”communications type for CAN
Communication and the Port the DOF-5 is connected to (See
Step Error! Reference source not found..
b.
c.
9) Set the Stage Units
a. Click Units, select Linear units, change Count to Millimeters,
and enter one of the following numbers depending on the
resolution of the encoder you ordered. The resolution is
shown on page 1 of the FIR Test Report:
i. 5nm resolution encoders: 200000 counts/mm
ii. 1.25nm resolution encoders: 800000 counts/mm
10)Click “Drive Signal Scaling…” and change “Leg Currents” to
“0.1611.” Then click “Apply” and “OK.” Click “OK” on the “Units”
window to close it.

11) Analog Calibration
a. Click “Motor Control” and set “Motor Command” to “0.”
Click “Apply” and “OK”
b. Click Operating Mode
c. Disable the motor by clicking “Disable All”
d. Check “Axis enable” and “Motor output.” Click “Apply.”
e. Click “Current Loop,” then “Analog calibration.”
f. Click “Zero!”then “Apply”
g. Click “Calibrate!”then “Apply”and “OK”
12)Enable the DOF-5 Servo with the Operating Mode
a. Click “Operating Mode”, then “Enable All.”Do not Calibrate Current
Feedback Signals again (already completed in Step 11).
b. The DOF-5 servo should now be on and it will hold position
c. The Active indicator for ALL items must be “on” as shown in the image to
the right (see orange box). Otherwise the motor may be enabled, but the
stage will not move
13)Homing the DOF-5
a. Prior to motion, each time the stage is powered off, or the
motor is disabled, it will need to be homed before any position
moves can be made
b. Click “Homing”
c. Enter the selections shown in the screenshot
d. Click “Start!”
e. The box to the left of the “Start!” button will read “Completed”
when homing is completed.
14)To move the DOF-5 stage, click “Trajectory”
a. “Profile mode” controls the motion type, use “Trapezoidal” for
basic motion.
b. “Shuttle Mode”controls how the stage moves:
i. “Single Move”moves the stage once to a set position after
“Go” is clicked.
ii. “Manual”moves the stage back and forth between two set
positions each time “Go”is clicked.
iii. “Automatic”cycles back and forth between two positions
with the set dwell time when “Go”is clicked, and stops
when “Stop”is clicked.
c. “Scope sync”allows plotting to be automatically started at the
same time as a movement.
Troubleshooting Instructions
15)Can’t connect to the stage
a. Ensure the stage is connected to a 24V power supply, there
should be a red power led in the stage.
b. Ensure the correct port, address, and connection settings are
used when connecting, use the Device Manager to find out
which port numbers are in use
Switch No.
