Chapter 1: Before You Begin
1-1. Overview
The JS-300 is a joystick with representational function.
It can be connected to our stage controller, S OT-30* series and S OT-702.
The joystick, connected to the controller via a cable, provides remote operation. This
means that the joystick allows you to work near the motorized stage while checking its
behavior even if the controller and the motorized stage are away from each other.
1-2. Connecting method
The Joystick (JS-300) is connected to the controller with MDR14-CA cable.
① Connect a standard cable (MDR14-CA-*) to the connector on the rear panel of the
JS-300.
② Connect the cable from the JS-300 to the “JOYSTICK” connector on the front panel of
the S OT-30X series and S OT-702 controller. (In the case of S OT-702, it becomes
the rear panel part.)
③ Turn power switch of the controller on.
And confirm that the open message is displayed correctly. If it can not be displayed,
reconfirm if connection of cable is done correctly.
Be sure the controller is off when you connect the oystick. You may not able to
use the buttons on oystick if you connect or disconnect either device while the
controller is on.
