Before powering the MotiFlex e180 you must connect it to the PC using an Ethernet
cable and install the Mint WorkBench software on the PC. This includes a number of

MotiFlex e180. Mint WorkBench and other utilities can be downloaded from the
SupportMe pages of www.abbmotion.com.
Connect the MotiFlex e180 to the PC

Ethernet adapter on page 22.
