1.1 Introduction of hardware device
Figure 1.1.1
KEYENCE KV-7500 is a controller composed of a CPU unit and one or more positioning motion units.
For the first use, users need to combine CPU unit and positioning motion unit and prepare a 24 VDC 1.8
A power supply for CPU unit. CPU unit is mainly used to connect with the computer, and positioning
motion unit is mainly used to connect with the drive.

3. Open the cover of drive panel and observe SW1 and SW2. The arrow direction of knob indicates
the station address of the drive, SW1 refers to tens digit, and SW2 refers to units digit. However,
some station addresses are not supported by the drive, as shown in the table in Figure 1.3.4. If
SW1=0, the value of SW2 cannot be a number from 0 to 2; if SW1=F, the value of SW2 cannot be a
number from 0 to F. If the station address of the drive is the above number, please turn the knobs of
SW1 and SW2 to avoid the above range and restart the power. Finally, enter the station address of
the drive to Station address shown in Figure 1.3.4.
Figure 1.3.3
Figure 1.3.4
Note:
If the drive is set to gantry, the slave’s SW2 needs to be set to 8, otherwise it may cause gantry communication
errors.
