Introduction

The PCI-8132 is a 2 axes motion control card with PCI interface. It can generate high frequency pulses to drive stepping motors and servo motors.

Multiple PCI-8132 cards can be used in one system. Incremental encoder interface on all four axes provide the ability to correct for positioning errors generated by inaccurate mechanical transmissions. In addition, mechanical sensor interface, servo motor interface and general purpose

I/O signals are provided for system integration. Hardware position compare function and trigger signal output provide users a way of taking pictures while the motors are still in motion.

Figure 1.1 shows the function block diagram of PCI-8132 card. PCI-8132 uses one ASIC (PCL5023) to perform 2 axes motion control. This ASIC is made of Nippon Pulse Motor incooperation. The motion control functions include linear and S-curve acceleration/deceleration, interpolation between two axes, continuous motion, in positioning and home return are done by the ASIC. Since these functions needing complex computations are done internally on the ASIC, the PC’s CPU is free to supervise and perform other tasks.

Motion Creator, a Microsoft Windows based software is equipped with the

PCI-8132 card for supporting application development. The Motion

Creator is very helpful for debugging a motion control system during the design phase of a project. The on-screen monitor shows all installed axis information and I/O signals status of PCI-8132 cards. In addition to Motion

Creator, both DOS and Windows version function library are included for programmers using C++ and Visual Basic language. Several sample programs are given to illustrate how to use the function library.

Figure 1.2 is a flowchart that shows a recommending process of using this manual to develop an application. Please also refer the relative chapters for the detail of each step.

Installation

PCI-8132 has plug and play PCI controller on board. The memory usage

(I/O port locations) of the PCI card is assigned by system BIOS. The address assignment is done on a board-by-board basis for all PCI cards in the system.

2.3.2 PCI slot selection

Your computer will probably have both PCI and ISA slots. Do not force the

PCI card into a PC/AT slot. The PCI-8132 can be used in any PCI slot.

1. Read through this manual, and setup the jumper according to your application

2. Turn off your computer, Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to computer.

Remove the cover from your computer.

3. Select a 32-bit PCI expansion slot. PCI slots are short than ISA or

EISA slots and are usually white or ivory.

4. Before handling the PCI-8132, discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the computer. Hold the edge and do not touch the components.

5. Position the board into the PCI slot you selected.

6. Secure the card in place at the rear panel of the system unit using screw removed from the slot.

If your system won‘t boot or if you experience erratic operation with your

PCI board in place, it’s likely caused by an interrupt conflict (perhaps because you incorrectly described the ISA setup). In general, the solution, once you determine it is not a simple oversight, is to consult the BIOS documentation that come with your system.

Please note that the voltage across every differential pair of encoder input signals (EA+, EA-), (EB+, EB-) and (EZ+, EZ-) should be at least 3.5V

or higher. Therefore, you have to take care of the driving capability when connecting with the encoder feedback or motor driver feedback. The differential signal pairs will be converted to digital signal EA, EB and EZ to connect to PCL5023 ASIC.

Here are two examples of connecting the input signals with the external circuits. The input circuits can connect to the encoder or motor driver, which are equipped with: (1) differential line driver or (2) open collector output.

4.1.1 Pulse Command Output

The PCI-8132 uses pulse command to control the servo / stepper motors via the drivers. The pulse command consists of two signals: OUT and

DIR. There are two command types: (1) single pulse output mode

(OUT/DIR); and (2) dual pulse output mode (CW/CCW type pulse output).

The software function: set_pls_outmode() is used to program the pulse command type. The modes vs. signal type of OUT and DIR pins are as following table:

Mode

Dual pulse output

Single pulse output

Output of OUT pin

Pulse signal in plus (or

CW) direction

Pulse signal

Output of DIR pin

Pulse signal in minus (or

CCW) direction

Direction signal (level)

The interface characteristics of these signals could be differential line driver or open collector output. Please refer to section 3.1 for the jumper setting of signal types.

♦

Single Pulse Output Mode(OUT/DIR Mode)

In this mode, the OUT signal is represent the pulse (position or velocity) command. The numbers of OUT pulse represent the motion command for relative “distance” or “position”, the frequency of the OUT pulse represents the command for “speed” or “velocity”. The DIR signal represents direction command of the positive (+) or negative (-). This mode is the most common used mode. The following diagram shows the output waveform.

OUT

DIR

Positive Command Negative Command

♦

Dual Pulse Output Mode(CW/CCW Mode)

In this mode, the waveform of the OUT and DIR pins represents CW

(clockwise) and CCW (counter clockwise) pulse output respectively.

Pulses output from CW pin makes motor move in positive direction, whereas pulse output from CCW pin makes motor move in negative direction. The following diagram shows the output waveform of positive

(plus,+) command and negative (minus,-) command.

4.1.2 Constant Velocity Motion

This mode is used to operate one axis motor at constant velocity motion.

The output pulse accelerates from a starting velocity (str_vel) to the specified constant velocity (max_vel). The

_8132_v_move()

function is used to accelerate constantly while the _8132_sv_move() function is to accelerate according to S-curve (constant jerk). The pulse output rate will keep at maximum velocity until another velocity command is set or stop command is issued. The

_8132_v_change()

is used to change speed during moving. The _8132_v_stop() function is used to decelerate the motion to zero velocity (stop). The velocity profile is shown as following.

Note that v_stop() function can be also be applied to stop outputting command pulses during

Preset Mode

(both trapezoidal and S-curve

Motion) , Home Mode or Manual Pulser Mode operations .

Tacc v_move()

Tdec v_stop()

This mode is used to move one axis motor to a specified position (or distance) with a trapezoidal velocity profile. Single axis is controlled from point to point. An absolute or relative motion can be performed. In absolute mode, the target position is assigned. In relative mode, the target displacement is assigned. In both absolute and relative mode, the acceleration and the deceleration can be different. The

_8132_motion_done() function is used to check whether the movement is complete.

The following diagram shows the trapezoidal profile. There are 9 relative functions. In the _8132_a_move() , _8132_ta_move() and _8132_start_a

_move()

,

_8132_start_ta_move()

functions, the absolute target position must be given in the unit of pulse. The physical length or angle of one movement is dependent on the motor driver and the mechanism (includes the motor). Since absolute move mode needs the information of current actual position, so “External encoder feedback (EA, EB pins)” must be enabled in _8132_set_cnt_src() function. And the ratio between command pulses and external feedback pulse input must be appropriately set by

_8132_set_move_ratio()

function.

In the

_8132_r_move()

,

_8132_t_move()

and

_8132_start_r_move()

,

_8132_start_t_move() functions, the relative displacement must be given in the unit of pulse. Unsymmetrical trapezoidal velocity profile (Tacc is not equal Tdec) can be specified in _8132_ta_move() and

_8132_t_move()

functions; where symmetrical profile (Tacc = Tdec) can be specified in _8132_a_move() and _8132_r_move() functions

36

•


The str_vel and max_vel parameters are given in the unit of pulse per second (pps). The Tacc and Tdec parameters are given in the unit of second represent accel./decel. time respectively. You have to know the physical meaning of “one movement” to calculate the physical value of the relative velocity or acceleration parameters. The following formula gives the basic relationship between these parameters. max_vel = str_vel + accel*Tacc; str_vel = max_vel + decel *Tdec; where accel/decel represents the acceleration/deceleration rate in unit of pps/sec. The area inside the trapezoidal profile represents the moving distance.

The unit of velocity setting is pulses per second (pps). Usually, the unit of velocity in the manual of motor or driver is in rounds per minute (rpm). A simple conversion is necessary to match between these two units. Here we use a example to illustrate the conversion.


•

37

For example:

A servo motor with a AB phase encoder is used for a X-Y table. The resolution of encoder is 2000 counts per phase. The maximum rotating speed of motor is designed to be 3600 rpm. What is the maximum pulse command output frequency that you have to set on

PCI-8132?

Answer: max_vel = 3600/60*2000*4

= 48000pps

The reason why *4 is because there are four states per AB phase (See

Figures in Section 4.4). max_vel str_vel str_vel

Time (second)

Tacc

Tdec

Usually, the axes need to set the move ratio if their mechanical resolution is different from the resolution of command pulse. For example, if an incremental type encoder is mounted on the working table to measure the actual position of moving part. A servomotor is used to drive the moving part through a gear mechanism. The gear mechanism is used to convert the rotating motion of motor into linear motion.(see the following diagram).

If the resolution of motor is 8000 pulses/round. The resolution of gear mechanism is 100 mm/round.(i.e., part moves 100 mm if motor turns one round). Then the resolution of command pulse will be 80 pulses/mm.

The resolution of encoder mounting on the table is 200 pulses/mm. Then users have to set the move ratio as 200/80=2.5 by the function:

If this ratio is not set before issuing the start moving command, it will cause problems when running in “Absolute Mode”. Because the PCI-8132 can’t recognize the actual absolute position during motion.

4.1.4 S-curve Profile Motion

This mode is used to move one axis motor to a specified position (or distance) with a S-curve velocity profile. S-curve acceleration profiles are useful for both stepper and servo motors. The smooth transitions between the start of the acceleration ramp and the transition to the constant velocity produce less wear and tear than a trapezoidal profile motion. The smoother performance increases the life of the motors and mechanics of a system.

There are several parameters needed to be set in order to make a S-curve move. They are: pos: target position in absolute mode; dist : moving distance in relative mode; str_vel : specify the start velocity; max_vel : specify the maximum velocity;

Tlacc : specify the time for linear acceleration section

(constant acceleration).

Tsacc : specify the time for S-curve acceleration section

(constant jerk).

Tldec : specify the time for linear deceleration section

(constant deceleration).

Tsdec : specify the time for S-curve deceleration section

(constant jerk).

Tsacc

Tlacc

Tsacc Tsdec

Tldec

Tsdec

40

•


Total time of acceleration is : Tlacc+2Tsacc. The following formula gives the basic relationship between these parameters. max_vel = str_vel + accel*(Tlacc+Tsacc); str_vel = max_vel + decel *(Tldec+Tsdec); accel = Tsacc * jerk1; decel = Tsdec * jerk2; where accel/decel represents the acceleration/deceleration rate at linear accel./decel. section and are in unit of pps/sec. jerk1, jerk2 are in unit of pps/sec^2. The minimum value for setting time of accel./decel. should be

0.

The S-curve profile motion functions are designed to always produce smooth motion. If the time for linear/S-Curve acceleration parameters combined with the final position don’t allow an axis to reach the maximum velocity( i.e.: the moving distance is too small to reach max_vel), the maximum velocity is automatically lowered and smooth accel./decel. is made (see the following Figure). This means that with moves that don’t reach maximum velocity may cause longer than expected move times. In such a case, the smaller the moving distance, the shorter the linear accel./decel. section becomes and the S-curve section is not reduced unless the linear section is decreased to 0.

Time (sec)

41

The following two graphs show the results of experiments after executing the unsymmetrical absolute S-curve motion command. Graph1 is the typical result. of S-curve velocity profile. Graph2 is obtained when the amount of command pulses is failed to let the velocity reach the designated maximum velocity. The PCI-8132 automatically lower the maximum velocity thus provide a smooth velocity profile.

Command of Graph1: start_tas_move(axis, 500000, 100, 1000000, 0.05, 0.05, 0.2, 0.2);

The total accelerating time = 0.05+2*0.05 = 0.15 (second).

Total decelerating time = 0.2+2*0.2 = 0.6 (second).

Command of Graph2: start_tas_move(axis, 200000, 100, 1000000, 0.05, 0.05, 0.2, 0.2);

4.1.5 Linear Interpolated Motion

In this mode, two axes (“X and Y” or “Z and U” axes) is controlled by linear interpolation or circular interpolation by designating the number of pulses respectively. “Interpolation between two axes” means the two axes start simultaneously, and reach their ending points at the same time. For example, in the Figure below, we want to move the axes from P0 to P1, and hope the two axes start and stop simultaneously at a period of time

∆ t. Then the moving speed along X-axis and Y-axis will be ∆ X/ ∆ t., ∆ Y/ ∆ t. respectively.

P1

∆ Y

X-Axis

The axis with larger numbers of moving pulses is the main axis, and the other axis is the secondary axis. When both axes are set at the same amount of pulses, the ‘X’ is the main axis. The speed relation between main and secondary axes is as follows:

Composite Speed = Speed of main axis x

4.1.6 Home Return Mode

In this mode, you can let the PCI-8132 output pulses until the conditions to complete the home return is satisfied after writing the

_8132_home_move() command. Finish of home return can be checked by

_8132_motion_done()

function. Or you can check finish of home return accompanied with the interrupt function by setting bit 5 of int_factor to 1 in

_8132_set_int_factor() function.

Moving direction of motors in this mode is determined by the sign of velocity parameter in _8132_home_move() function. A _8132_v_stop() command during returning home can stop OUT and DIR from outputting pulses.

Before writing _8132_home_move() command, configuration must be set by

_8132_set_home_config()

function. . See also Section 4.3.3 for further description. There are total three home return modes can be selected by setting home_mode parameter in

_8132_set_home_config() function. The meaning of Home_mode will be described as the following:

1 . immediately stops OUT and DIR pins from outputting pulses to complete the origin return.

•


2 . Home_mode=1: both ORG and index signal are useful. The ORG signal lets the PCI-8132 starts to wait for EZ signal and then EZ signal stops

OUT and DIR pins from outputting pulses to complete the home return.

4.1.7 Manual Pulser Mode

For manual operation of a device, you may use a manual pulser such as a rotary encoder. The PCI-8132 can input signals from the pulser and output corresponding pulses from the OUT and DIR pins, thereby allowing you to simplify the external circuit and control the present position of axis. This mode is effective between a _8132_manu_move() command is written and a

_8132_v_stop()

command.

The PCI-8132 receives plus and minus pulses (CW/CCW) or 90 degrees phase difference signals(AB phase) from the pulser at PA and PB pins.

The 90 ° phase difference signals can be input through multiplication by 1,

2 or 4. If the AB pahse input mode is selected, the PA and PB signals should be with 90 ° phase shifted, and the position counting is increasing when the PA signal is leasding the PB signal by 90 ° phase.

Also, one pulser may be used for ‘X’ and ‘Y’ axes while internally distributing the signals appropriately to two axes. To set the input signal modes of pulser, use _8132_set_manu_iptmode() function. Then write

_8132_manu_move()

to begin manual operation function. User must write _8132_v_stop() command in order to end this function and begins to operate at another mode. User can choose pulse output axis by

_8132_set_manu_axis().

The error input of PA and PB can be used to generate IRQ. The following two situations will be considered as error input of PA and PB signals. (1)

The PA and PB signals are changing simultaneously. (2) The input pulser frequency is higher than the maximum output frequency 2.4M pps. Set bit 14 of INT factor will enable the IRQ when error happen.

Maximum moving velocity in this mode can be limited by setting max_vel parameter in _8132_manu_move() function.

The PCI-8132 provides the INP, ERC and ALM signals for servomotor driver’s control interface. The INP and ALM are used for feedback the servo driver’s status. The ERC is used to reset the servo driver’s deviation counter under special conditions.

4.2.1 INP

Usually, servomotor driver with pulse train input has a deviation (position error) counter to detect the deviation between the input pulse command and feedback counter. The driver controls the motion of servomotor to minimize the deviation until it becomes 0. Theoretically, the servomotor operates with some time delay from command pulses. Accordingly, when the pulse generator stops outputting pulses, the servomotor does not stop but keep running until the deviation counter become zero. At this moment, the servo driver sends out the in-position signal (INP) to the pulse generator to indicate the motor stops running.

Usually, the PCI-8132 stops outputting pulses upon completion of outputting designated pulses. But by setting inp_enable parameter in

_8132_set_inp_logic() function , you can delay the completion of operation to the time when the INP signal is turned on. Status of

_8132_motion_done()

and INT signal are also delayed. That is, when performing under position control mode, the completion of

_8132_start_a_move()

,

_8132_start_r_move()

, start_s_move()

… functions are delayed until INP signal is turned ON.

However, EL or ALM signal or the completion of home return does not cause the INP signal to delay the timing of completion. The INP signal may be a pulse signal, of which the shortest width is 5 micro seconds.

The in-position function can be enable or disable. The input logic polarity isalso programmable by software function: _8132_set_inp_logic() . The signal status can be monitored by software function:

_8132_get_io_status() .

4.2.2 ALM

The ALM pin receives the alarm signal output from the servo driver. The signal immediately stops the PCI-8132 from generating pulses or stops it after deceleration. If the ALM signal is in the ON status at the start, the

PCI-8132 outputs the INT signal without generating any command pulse.

The ALM signal may be a pulse signal, of which the shortest width is a time length of 5 micro seconds.


•

47

You can change the input logic by

_8132_set_alm_logic() function.

Whether or not the PCI-8132 is generating pulses, the ALM signal lets it output the INT signal.. The ALM status can be monitored by software function: _8132_get_io_status() . The ALM signal can generate IRQ by setting the bit 2 of INT. factor in software function:

_8132_set_int_factor().

4.2.3 ERC

The deviation counter clear signal is inserted in the following 4 situations:

1. home return is complete;

2. the end-limit switch is active;

3. an alarm signal stops OUT and DIR signals;

4. an emergency stop command is issued by software operator.

Since the servomotor operates with some delay from pulse generated from the PCI-8132, it keeps operating by responding to the position error remaining in the deviation counter of the driver if the ± EL signal or the completion of home return stops the PCL5023 from outputting pulses. The

ERC signal allows you to immediately stop the servomotor by resetting the deviation counter to zero. The ERC signal is output as an one-shot signal.

The pulsewidth is a time length of 10ms. The ERC signal will automatically output when ± EL signals, ALM signal is turned on to immediately stop the servomotor. User can set the ERC pin output enable/disable by

_8132_set_erc_enable()

function. ERC pin output is set output enabled when initializing.

4.3 The Limit Switch Interface and I/O Status

In this section, the following I/O signals’ operations are described. y ± SD: Ramping Down sensor y ± EL: End-limit sensor y ORG: Origin position y SVON and RDY

I

/O status readback

In any operation mode, if an ± EL signal is active during moving condition, it will cause PCI-8132 to stop output pulses automatically. If an SD signal is active during moving condition, it will cause PCI-8132 to decelerate.

4.3.1 SD

The ramping-down signals are used to slow-down the control output signals (OUT and DIR) when it is active. The signals are very useful to protect the mechanism moving under high speed toward the mechanism limit. PSD indicates ramping-sown signal in plus (+) direction and MSD indicates ramping-down signal in minus (-) direction.

During varied speed operation in the home return mode or continuous operation mode, the ramping-down signal in the moving direction lets the output control signals (OUT and DIR) ramp down to the pre-setting starting velocity.

The ramping-down function can be enable or disable by software function:

_8132_set_sd_logic() . The input logic polarity, level operation mode, or latched input mode can also be set by this function. The signals status can be monitored by

_8132_ get_io_status() .

4.3.2 EL

The end-limit signals are used to stop the control output signals (OUT and

DIR) when the end-limit is active. PEL signal indicates end-limit in positive (plus) direction. MEL signal indicates end-limit in negative

(minus) direction. When the output pulse signals (OUT and DIR) are toward positive direction, the pulse train will be immediately stopped when the PEL signal is inserted, while the MEL signal is meaningless in this case, and vise versa. When the PEL is inserted and the output pulse is fully stop, only the negative (minus) direction output pulse can be generated for moving the motor to negative (minus) direction.


•

49

The end-limit signals can be used to generate the IRQ by setting the bit 0 of INT. factor in software function: _8132_set_int_factor() .

You can use either 'a' contact switch or 'b' contact switch by setting the dip switch S1. The PCI-8132 is delivered from the factory with all bits of S1 set to OFF.

The signal status can be monitored by software function: _8132_get_ io_status().

4.3.3 ORG

When the motion controller is operated at the home return mode, the ORG signal is used to stop the control output signals (OUT and DIR).

There are three home return modes, you can select one of them by setting

“ home_mode

” argument in software function: set_home_config(). Note that if home_mode=1 or 2, the ORG signal must be ON or latched during the EZ signal is inserted (EZ=0). The logic polarity of the ORG signal, level input or latched input mode are selectable by software function:

_8132_set_ home_config()

.

After setting the configuration of home return mode by

_8132_set

_home_config() , a home_move() command can perform the home return function.

The ORG signal can also generate IRQ signal by setting the bit 5 of interrupt reason register (or INT. factor) in software function:

_8132_set_int_factor()

.

4.3.4 SVON and RDY

The SVON signals are controlled by software function:

_8132_Set_SVON()

. The function set the logic of AP0 (SVON) of

PCL5023. The signal status of SVON pins can be monitored by software function:

_8132_get_io_status()

.

RDY pins are dedicated for digital input use The status of this signal can be monitored by software function get_io_status(). RDY pin is interfaced with AP3 pin of PCL5023 through a photocoulpe. The RDY signal can also generate IRQ signal by setting the bit 23 of INT. factor in software function: set_int_factor(). Note that interrupt is generated when AP3 from high to low.

4.4 The Encoder Feedback Signals (EA, EB, EZ)

The PCI-8132 has a 28-bits binary up/down counter for managing the present position for each axis. The counter counts signals input from EA and EB pins.

50

•


EB

EA

EB

It can accept 2 kinds of pulse input.: (1). plus and minus pulses input(CW/CCW mode); (2). 90 ° phase difference signals(AB phase mode).

90 ° phase difference signals may be selected to be multiplied by a factor of 1,2 or 4. 4x AB phase mode is the most commonly used for incremental encoder input. For example, if a rotary encoder has 2000 pulses per phase (A or B phase), then the value read from the counter will be 8000 pulses per turn or –8000 pulses per turn depends on its turning direction.

These input modes can be selected by _8132_set_pls_iptmode() function.

To enable the counters counting pulses input from (EA, EB) pins, set

“ cnt_src ” parameter of software function _8132_set_cnt_src() to 1.

♦

Plus and Minus Pulses Input Mode(CW/CCW Mode)

The pattern of pulses in this mode is the same as

Dual Pulse Output

Mode in Pulse Command Output section, expect that the input pins are

EA and EB.

In this mode, pulse from EA causes the counter to count up, whereas EB caused the counter to count down.

♦

90

°

phase difference signals Input Mode(AB phase Mode)

In this mode, the EA signal is 90 ° phase leading or lagging in comparison with EB signal. Where “lead” or “lag’ of phase difference between two signals is caused by the turning direction of motors. The up/down counter counts up when the phase of EA signal leads the phase of EB signal.

The following diagram shows the waveform.

EA

Positive Direction

Negative Direction


•

51

The encoder error interrupt is provided to detect abnormal situation.

Simultaneously changing of EA and EB signals will cause an encoder error.

If bit #14 of the interrupt factor register (INT factor) is set as 1, the IRQ will be generated when detect encoder error during operation.

The index inputs (EZ) signals of the encoders are used as the “ZERO” index. This signal is common on most of the rotational motors. EZ can be used to define the absolute position of the mechanism. The input logic polarity of the EZ signals is programmable by software function

_8132_set_home_config().

The EZ signals status of the four axis can be monitored by _8132_get_io_status() .

4.5 Multiple PCI-8132 Cards Operation

The software fuction library support maximum up to 12 PCI-8132 Cards, that means maximum up to 24 axes of motors can be controlled. Since

PCI-8132 has the characteristic of Plug-and-Play, users do not have to care about setting the Based address and IRQ level of cards. They are automatically assigned by the BIOS of system when booting up. Users can utilize Motion Creator to check if the plugged PCI-8132 cards are successfully installed and see the Baseaddress and IRQ level assigned by

BIOS.

One thing needed to be noticed by users is to identify the card number of

PCI-8132 when multiple cards are applied. The card number of one

PCI-8132 depends on the locations on the PCI slots. They are numbered either from left to right or right to left on the PCI slots. These card numbers will effect the corresponding axis number on the cards. And the axis number is the first argument for most funcions called in the library. So it is important to identify the axis number before writing application programs. For example, if 3 PCI-8132 cards are plugged in the PCI slots.

Then the corresponding axis number on each card will be:

Axis No.

Card No.

Axis 1 Axis 2

52

•


If we want to accelerate Axis 1 of Card2 from 0 to 10000pps in 0.5sec for

Constant Velocity Mode operation. The axis number should be 6. The code on the program will be:

_8132_v_move(2, 0, 10000, 0.5);

To determine the right card number, Try and Error may be necessary before application. Motion Creator can be utilized to minimize the search time.

For applications needed to move many axes simultaneously on multiple

PCI_8132 cards, users should follow the connection diagrams in Section

3.12 to make connections between their CN3 connectors. Several functions illustrated in Section 6.8 may be useful when writing programs for such applications.

♦


_8132_start_move_all(), _8132_move_all(), _8132_wait_for_all(): Refer to section 6.8

4.6 Change Speed on the Fly

You can change the velocity profile of command pulse ouput during operation by

_8132_v_change()

function. This function changes the maximum velocity setting during operation. However, if you operate under

“Preset Mode” (like start_a_move(),…), you are not allowed to change the acceleration parameter during operation because the deceleration point is pre-determined. But changing the acceleration parameter when operating under “Constant Velocity Mode” is valid. Changing speed pattern on the fly is valid no matter what you choose “Trapezoidal Velocity Profile” or

“S-curve Velocity Profile”. Here we use an example of Trapezoidal velocity profile to illustarte this function.

Example: There are 3 speed change sensor during an absolute move for

200000 pulses. Initial maximum speed is 10000pps. Change to 25000pps if Sensor 1 is touched. Change to 50000pps if Sensor 2 is touched.

Change to 100000pps if Sensor 3 is touched. Then the code for this application and the resulting velocity profiles are shown below.

User must set

_8132_fix_max_speed()

before any PTP motion in order to get the better performance of speed change. The value in this function is the possible maximum speed during the PTP motion.

The position comparison function is fulfilled by the FPGA comparator on board. Please refer to the following figure. The comparator is applied to compare the preset comparison data with the contents of its counter under different modes. These comparison modes consist of different logical comparison ( >/=/< ) of different counters ( 1 and/or 2 ).

To make use of position comparison function the following guidelines will be of much help.

1.

Decides the comparison mode : Use_ 8132_ Set_CompMode function and consider the counter source and the comparison conditions .

2.

Sets the counter initial value

: There are two ways to set the counter

Directly use _

8132_

Set_CompCnt function to set its value

Use _ 8132 _Set_CompHome to set its value to 0 automatically after homing

3.

Enables the interrupt function

: Use _

8132_

Set_CompInt function

4.

Sets up the desired comparison data

: Use _

8132_

Set_CompData function.

5.

Gets the status of the comparator : Use _ 8132_G et_CompSts

6.

Sending motion commands :After setting up the comparator users can send other moiton control functions eg. start_a_move ,or v_move etc .

The comparator will fulfill the comparison function without interfering the

CPU.


•

For user who want to compare multiple data continuously with the comparator

The method of building comparison tables is also provided as shown in the following

1. U16 _8132_Build_Comp_Table(U16 axis, I32 *table, I16 Size);

I32 *table: an one dimension array pointer for compare positions

I16 Size: Total amount of position compare points ( Maximum=1024)

2. U16 _8132_Set_Comp_Table(U16 axis, U16 logic);

U16 logic: enable/disable position compare table

( 0 for disable, 1 for enable )

Here are two examples of using position comparison functions.

The first example is typically in the application of machine vision. v

CCD

Camera

In this application the table is controlled by the motion command and the

CCD Camera is controlled by the position comparison output of PCI-8132.

The example code is shown in the following

_8132_Set_CompHome(0); for( i=0 ; i<6 ; i++)

CompTable[i] = 10000 + 10000 * i; ' Set Compare Data

_8132_Build_Comp_Table(0, CompTable, 6);

_8132_Set_CompMode(0, 0);

_8132_Set_Comp_Table( Axis0, 1);

_8132_start_r_move( Axis0, 80000, 0,10000, 0.5);

The second example is a fly-cut application v

E

1 2 t

Motor E

In this application the cutter is moved forward and backward on the x-axis and the knife is moved up and down by the y-axis. The comparator is used to compare the actual position in x-axis with the encoder feedback on y-axis with the encoder mounted under the belt. I.e.The comparator counter source in this case is the encoder under the belt but not the encoder on the back of the motor. In this application the cutter will cut down when the motor reaches the same speed as the belt and the comparison condition is match.

The comparator in the PCI-8132 generates an interrupt to move the knife down to cut the belt.

The following graph shows the result of position compare trigger output. A compare point table is triggered during a start_a_move() function. The compare table contents 1024 points from 10000 to 112300 with 100 pulses

interval. It can be represented as follows:

For(i = 0 ; i < 1024; i++ )

CMP_TBL(i)= 10000+100*i;

Once the axis passes by these preset points during a moving function, the corresponding compare output pin will send a pulse with 100 us width to trigger other device to work. The moving command for this example is as follows: start_a_move(AXIS0, 150000, 1000, 160000, 0.2);

The maximum command for this function is 160k pps. So the axis takes about 625us to travel 100 pulses long and the width of trigger pulse is about 100us. (The maximum frequency for trigger signal is about 10k)

The PCI-8132 motion controller can generate INT signal to host PC according to 13 types of factors, refer to _8132_set_int_factor() function for more details.. The INT signal is output when one or more interrupt factors occur on either axis. To judge on which axis the interrupt factors occur, use

_8132_get_int_axis()

function. The interrupt status is not closed until

_8132_get_int_status()

function is performed. There is a little difference between using DOS or Windows 95/NT to perform interrupt control. Users should refer to Section 6.17 for more details. Here we use an example on Windows OS to demonstrate how to perform interrupt control with the function library we provided.

♦

Use Thread to deal with Interrupt under Windows NT/95

In order to detect the interrupt signal from PCI-8132 under Windows

NT/95, user must create a thread routine first. Then use APIs provided by

PCI-8132 to get the interrupt signal. The sample program is as follows :

Situatuins: Assume that we have one card (2 axes) and want to receive

Home Return and Preset Movement Finish interrupt signal from axis 1.

Steps:

1. Define a Global Value to deal with interrupt event

HANDLE hEvent[2]; volatile bool ThreadOn;

2. In Initializing Section ( you must Initialize PCI-8132 properly first), set interrupt types and enable an event for each axis. set_int_factor(1,0x002040);

_8132_Set_INT_Control(0,1);

_8132_INT_Enable(0,&hEvent[0]);

Note: For each card, you must assign 2 4-events-array in

_8132_INT_Enable function.

3. Define a Global Function (Thread Body). Use WaitForSingleObject() or

WaitForMultipleObjects() to wait events. Remenber to reset this event after you get the event.

UINT IntThreadProc(LPVOID pParam)

{

IntSts;

while(ThreadOn=TRUE)


•

59

{

::WaitForSingleObject(hEvent[1],INFINITE);

_8132_get_int_status(1,&IntSts);

::ResetEvent(hEvent[1]);

}

0;

}

4. Start the thread( Use a boolean value to control the thread’s life )

ThreadOn=TRUE;

AfxBeginThread(IntThreadProc,GetSafeHwnd(),THREAD_PRIORITY_

HIGHEST);

5. Before exit the program, remember to let the thread go to end naturally.

ThreadOn=FALSE;

For each time when a preset movement or homing of axis 2 is completed, this program will receive a interrupt signal from PCI-8132.

PCI-8132 Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) with DOS

A DOS function library is equipped with PCI-8132 for users to develop applications under DOS environment. This library also provide some functions for users to work with ISR. It is highly recommended to write programs according to the following example for applications should work with ISR. Since PCI-bus has the ability to do IRQ sharing when multiple

PCI-8132 are applied, each PCI-8132 should have a corresponding ISR.

For users who use the library we provide, the names of ISR are fixed, such as: _ 8132_isr0(void), _8132_isr1(void)…etc.

The sample program are described as below. It assume two PCI-8132 are plugged on the slot , axis 1 and axis5 are asked to work with ISR.:

}

So with the sample, user can get the interrupt signal about each axis in the motion control system.

5.3 Axis Operation Windows

Press the “Operate Axis” button on the Main Menu or Axis Configuration

Menu will enter the Axis Configuration window. Figure 5.3 shows the window. User can use this window to command motion, monitor all the I/O status for the selected axis. This window includes the following displays and controls: y Motion Display, y Axis Status Display y I/O Status Display y Set Position Control y Operation Mode Control y Motion Parameter Control y Play Control y Velocity Profile Selection y Repeat

5.3.1 Motion Status Display

The Motion Status display provides a real-time display of the axis’s position in the Command, Actual, Error fields. Motion Creator automatically updates these command, actual and error displays whenever any of the values change.

When Pulse Input Active property is Axis Configuration Window is set to

Enable, the Actual Position read will be from the external encoder inputs(EA, EB). Else, it will display the command pulse output when set to

Disable.

The Axis Status display provides a real-time display of the axis’s status.

It displays the status(Yes(for logical True) or No(for logical False)) for In

Position or In Motion or displays there is Interrupt Events Occurs. When In motion, you can check the motion done status in the next column. In

Position range can be specified in the Pos_Err column.

5.3.3 I/O Status Display

Use I/O Status display to monitor the all the I/O status of PCI-8132. The

Green Light represents ON status, Red Light represents OFF status and

BLACK LIGHT represents that I/O function is disabled. The ON/OFF status is read based on the setting logic in Axis Configuration window.

Use the Set Position Control to arbitrarily change the actual position of axis.

Write the position wanting to specify into the column and click the “Set

Position” button will set the actual position to the specified position.

5.3.5 Operation Mode Control

There are four Operation Modes mentioned in Chapter 4 can be tested in the Axis Operation window. They are “Continuous Move Mode”, “Preset

Mode Operation”, “Home Mode Operation”, “Manual Mode Operation”.

♦

Continuous Move Mode:

Press “Continuous Move” button will enable Continuous Velocity motion as specified by values entered in “Start Velocity” and “Maximum Velocity”

2 fields of Motion Parameters Control. The steady state moving velocity will be as specified by “Maximum Velocity”. Press → to move forward or ← to move backward. Press “STOP” to stop moving.

♦

Preset Mode:

Press “Absolute Mode” to enable absolute motion as specified by values entered in “Position 1” and “Position 2” 2 fields. When selected, “Distance” field for “Relative Mode” is disabled. Press → to move to Position 2 or ← to move to Position 1. Press “STOP” to stop motion.

Also, user can specify repetitive motion in “Absolute Mode” by setting

“Repeat Mode” to “ON” state. When “Repeat Mode” goes “ON” and either

→ or ← is pressed., axis starts repetitive motion between Position 1 and

Position 2 until “Repeat Mode” goes “OFF” as “STOP” are clicked.

Press “Relative Mode” to enable relative motion as specified by values entered in “Distance” fields. When selected, “Position 1” and “Position 2” fields for “Absolute Mode” is disabled. Press → to move forward to a distance relative to present position as specified by “Distance” or ← to move backward.

Note that both “Absolute Mode” and “Relative Mode” are operated under a trapezoidal velocity profile as specified by Motion Parameters Control.

69

♦

Home Return Mode:

Press “Home Move” button will enable Home Return motion. The home returning velocity is specified by settings in Motion Parameters Control.

The arriving condition for Home Return Mode is specified in Axis

Configuration Window. Press → to begin returning home function. Press

“STOP” to stop moving.

♦

Manual Pulser Mode:

Press “Manual Pulser Move” button will enable motion controlled by hand wheel pulser. Using this function, user can manually operate the axis thus verify operation. The maximum moving velocity is limited as specified by

“Maximum Velocity”. Press “STOP” to end this mode.

Do remember to press “STOP” to end operation under this mode.

Otherwise, operations under other modes will be inhibited.

Use the Motion Parameters with the Operation Mode Control to command motion. y Starting Velocity: Specify the starting moving speed in pulses per second. y Maximum Velocity: Specify the maximum moving speed in pulses per second. y Acceleration: Specify the acceleration in pulses per second square. y Move delay: Specify time in mini seconds between movement. y S curve Acc/dec Time: Specify time in mini second for S_curve

Movement.

6.5 Continuously Motion Move

@ Name

_8132_v_move – Accelerate an axis to a constant velocity with trapezoidal profile

_8132_sv_move – Accelerate an axis to a constant velocity with

S-curve profile

_8132_v_change – Change speed on the fly

_8132_v_stop – Decelerate to stop

_8132_fix_max_speed – Set max speed when using v_change() function

@ Description

_8132_v_move:

This function is used to accelerate an axis to the specified constant velocity. The axis will continue to travel at a constant velocity until the velocity is changed or the axis is commanded to stop. The direction is determined by the sign of velocity parameter.

_8132_sv_move:

This function is similar to v_stop() but accelerating with S-curve.

_8132_v_change:

You can change the velocity profile of command pulse ouput during operation by this function. This function changes the maximum velocity setting during operation. However, if you operate under

“Preset Mode” (like start_a_move(),…), you are not allowed to change the acceleration parameter during operation because the deceleration point is pre-determined. But changing the acceleration parameter when operating under “Constant Velocity Mode” is valid.

_8132_fix_max_speed:

In order to calculate better performance when using v_change() function, user must set this function before any PTP function

_8132_v_stop:

This function is used to decelerate an axis to stop. This function is also useful when preset move (both trapezoidal and S-curve motion),

6.8 Multiple Axes Point to Point Motion

@ Name

_8132_start_move_all– Begin a multi-axis trapezoidal profile motion

_8132_move_all–Begin a multi-axis trapezoidal profile motion and wait for completion

_8132_wait_for_all–Wait for all axes to finish

@ Description

_8132_start_move_all() :

This function causes the specified axes to accelerate from a starting velocity, slew at constant velocity, and decelerate to stop at the specified absolute position, immediately returning control to the program. The move axes are specified by axes and the number of axes are defined by n_axes . The acceleration rate of all axes is equal to the deceleration rate.

_8132_ move_all() starts the motion and waits for completion. Both functions guarantee that motion begins on all axes at the same sample time.

Note

that it is necessary to make connections according to Section 3.12 on CN3 if these two functions are needed.

_8132_ wait_for_done() waits for the motion to complete for all of the specified axes.

The following code demos how to utilize these functions. This code moves axis 0 and axis 4 to position 8000.0 and 120000.0 respectively.

If we choose velocities and acelerations that are propotional to the ratio of distances, then the axes will arrive at their endpoints at the same time (simultaneous motion).

_8132_set_move_accel – Set the vector linear acceleration time

_8132_set_move_ratios – Set the axis resolution ratios

@ Description map_axes:

This function initializes a group of axes for coordinated motion. map_axes() must be called before any coordinated motion function is used. For PCI-8132, coordinated motion is made only between two axes. For example, if the z and u coordinates correspond to axes 2 and 3, the following code would be used to define the coordinate system:

int ax[2] = {2, 3}; ax);

set_move_speed(10000.0); // Set vector velocity = 10000pps

set_move_accel(0.1); // Set vector accel. time = 0.1 sec set_move_speed, set_move_accel:

The vector velocity and vector acceleration can be specified for coordinated motion by this three functions. Codes at last samples demonstrates how to utilize this three functions associated with map_axes() . set_move_ratio:

This function configures scale factors for the specified axis. Usually, the axes only need scale factors if their mechanical resolutions are different. For example, if the resolution of feedback sensors is two times resolution of command pulse, then ratio = 2 .

@ Description

_8132_set_home_config:

Configure the logic of origin switch and index signal needed for home_move() function. If you need to stop the axis after EZ signal is active(home_mode=1 or 2), you should keep placing ORG signal in the

ON status until the axis stop. If the pulse width of ORG signal is too short to keep it at ON status till EZ goes ON, you should select the org_latch as enable. The latched condition is cancelled by the next start or by disabling the org_latch. Three home return modes are available. Refer to

Chapter4.1.5 for the setting of home_mode control.

_8132_home_move:

This function will cause the axis to perform a home return move according to the setting of set_home_config()

function. The direction of moving is determined by the sign of velocity parameter(svel, mvel). Since the stopping condition of this function is determined by home_mode

setting, user should take care to select the initial moving direction. Or user should take care to handle the condition when limit switch is touched or other conditions that is possible causing the axis to stop. Executing v_ stop() function during home_move() can also cause the axis to stop.

7.2 Connection Example with Servo Driver

In this section, we use Panasonic Servo Driver as an example to show how to connect it with PCI-8132 . Figure 7.3 show the wiring.

Note that:

1. For convenience’ sake , the drawing shows connections for one axis only.

2. Default pulse output mode is OUT/DIR mode; default input mode is

4X

AB phase mode. Anyway, user can set to other mode by software function.

3. Since most general purpose servomotor driver can operates in

Torque Mode; Velocity Mode; Position mode.

For linking with

PCI-8132, user should set the operating mode to Position Mode. By setting servo driver to this mode, user can use PCI-8132 to perform either

Position Control

or

Velocity Control

.

4. The Deviation Counter Clear input for Panasonic Driver is line drive type where

ERC output of PCI-8132 is open collector type. So a little circuit is required for interfacing.
