Setting up the Hardware
Connecting the VR9500
1. Set up the computer in the conventional configuration with
power cables, mouse, keyboard, and monitor
2. Connect the VR9500 network port to the dedicated network card in
the computer using the included orange straight cable
3. Connect the power cord to the VR9500. The power input will
automatically switch for voltage 90 - 250VAC and 50/60 Hertz.
4. Connect the shaker amplifier’s input to the Drive output connector on
the rear of the VR9500
5. Connect an accelerometer to channel 1 of the VR9500. Other
accelerometers can be connected to channels 2, 3, and 4
6. Turn on the power to the controller

Setting up the Hardware Cont’d
Connecting Multiple VR9500 Units
1. Two or more VR9500 units require a network switch
2. Connect the first VR9500 to port 1 on the switch. Additional VR9500’s
can be connected to port 2, 3, and 4 on the switch. Connect the
computer to the highest numbered port with the supplied cable.
3. Connect the supplied VAC power cords to each of the VR9500’s
4. Connect the shaker amplifier’s input to the Drive output connector on
the first VR9500. For systems controlling two shakers simultaneously,
connect the second shaker’s amplifier input to the Drive output
connector on the second VR9500.
5. Connect:
accelerometer channels 1-4 to channels 1-4 of the first VR9500,
accelerometer channels 5-8 to channels 5-8 on the second VR9500,
accelerometer channels 9-12 to channels 9-12 on the third VR9500
accelerometer channels 13-16 to channels 13-16 on the fourth VR9500,
etc. up to 128 channels.

Establishing PC Communication
Configuring the VR9500
1. Set up the dedicated network card for VibrationVIEW. Select the
network card dedicated to the VR9500 from Panel Home
Right click the Start Button > Control Panel
2. Choose option
View network status and tasks
3. Choose option
Change adapter settings
4.
Right Click
on the network card attached to the VR9500 and

Establishing PC Communication
5. Disable all the options except
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
6. From the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, select
Properties
. Assign IP address
192.168.3.10
and subnet mask
255.255.255.0
• If multiple network cards are installed in the computer the IP address can be adjusted.
Other recommended values are 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.4.10, although any Class
C or Class D subnet will work.
• Click the
OK
button to return to the pervious dialog box
7. From the
Properties
dialog box, click the
Sharing
tab. Make sure
Internet Connection Sharing
for this connection is disabled/unchecked.

Connecting to VibrationVIEW
VibrationVIEW must be configured to use the appropriate network
connection after the network is setup.
1. Start VibrationVIEW by double-clicking the VibrationVIEW icon on the
desktop. Select
Configuration > Hardware
from menu command
2. Select the network card previously configured. Typically this will be
192.168.3.10
. Select
Probe
. Click the
Apply
button.
3. Your VR9500 serial number will be added to the drop down menu for
channels 1-4 when it initially connects to the computer.
• Select the appropriate VR9500 serial number to configure channels 1-4, and
optionally, channels 5-8, channels 9-12, and 13 through 128 (in blocks of 4 channels).
The VR9500 control boxes are assigned addresses from the range listed in the Control
Boxes Address parameters. This does not need to be changed.

Input Configuration
Setting Sensitivities for Inputs
The inputs must be
configured for each
connected accelerometer.
Each input can be
configured as single ended,
differential, and optionally
capacitor coupled. Single
ended inputs can also
provide a constant current
source to power your
accelerometers. Other
types of accelerometers
such as charge coupled
accelerometers require external conditioning. Be sure to enter the proper
conditioner calibration factor in the
Advanced Settings
option from the
Inputs
tab.
To view/edit more information on an accel, click the
Advanced Settings
button. If the connected accelerometer has TEDS (Transducer Electronic
Data Sheet) containing the calibration information, simply click the
TEDS
checkbox and the information will automatically be entered when you
click
Read All TEDS
. When the appropriate values are entered, click
the
OK
button. The new accelerometer sensitivity factors will take effect
immediately.
Note: Be sure to check the
Accel Power
box if you want the VR9500 to provide the constant
current source to your accel.
System Limits
Shaker Limits and Moving Mass
The controller checks the system specifications to determine if the
shaker is able to perform the current test. The shaker force, velocity, and
displacement limit values only need to be entered once when the system
is first configured. The fixture and product masses that are required to
properly compute the acceleration limits of the shaker must be entered
every time the fixture or product mass is changed.
