1 Introduction
The PCI-8254/PCI-8258, is a fully in-house developed DSP-based
advanced motion control card from ADLINK. It supports 4/8 axis
pulse type or Analog type signal commands, provides Open-loop
and closed-loop circuit control options, and supports
position/speed/torque commands for several different servo
drivers.
The PCI-8254/PCI-8258 exchanges data with operating system
through high speed PCI bus including motion control command,
feedback data, parameter, etc. Used with the ADLINK exclusive
Softmove kernel, it offers scores of move control functions
including T/S speed profile planning, point-to-point movement,
multi-dimension interpolation, and master/slave motion.
To enable absolute real time motion control, ADLINK's multi-tasks
download function helps users to program with AMC code
(ADLINK Motion Code), a programming language similar to C, for
downloading to PCI-8254/58 embedded processors for execution.
It supports up to eight different programs for concurrent download
and execution.
With up to 20MHz high speed encoder feedback support and 4/8
axes independent hardware PID control plus Feed-forward gain
design, it ensures precision control and reduce following errors in
tandem with high speed motion feedback. The programmable
servo update rate allows excellent control performance because
different PID parameter adjustments can be made for individual
applications.
The PCI-8254/58, see Figure 1 below for its system functions,
uses one digital signal processor (DSP) from Texas Instrument
(TI) as its main computing unit and integrates high speed large
volume Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to provide 4/8
independent PID control, high speed encoder output unit, 2/4 high
speed position compare and trigger output, move & general
purposed I/O and logic control. It separates isolation circuit into
exclusive terminal board DIN-825-GP4 to prevent the burning out
of PCI-8254/58 from incorrect wiring. Thanks to full range of
flexing resistant wires from ADLINK, it connects with market
available popular servo drives easily.

2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Hardware Configuration
PCI-8254/58 employs PCI Rev. 2.2 bus. System BIOS can auto
configure memory and IRQ channel.
Exclusive terminal board DIN-825-GP4 provides isolation circuit
and indicator lights for easy connection to varieties of servo drive
and stepper drive.
2.3.2 Installation Procedures
1. Please read this manual carefully and set up signal I/O in
proper mode.
2. Turn off computer power and relevant power on all
terminal boards then connect PCI-8254/58 to 32-bit PCI
slot in your computer. (The slot is usually in white color.)
(Please make sure you have proper ESD (Electrostatic
discharge) protection.)
3. Connect PCI-8254/58 and DIN-825-GP4 with SCSI 100p
cable
4. Set up motion control relevant limit switch on
DIN-825-GP4 board, servo signal and general purpose
digital signal wiring
5. Set up servo or stepper drive connection
6. Turn on system power including computer power,
terminal board relevant powers, and 24Vdc power
7. Verify all I/O signal and servo operation correctness with
MotionCreatorPro 2
Please ground the shielding end of the power terminal to the
earth to reduce risk of electric shock and ensure product
CAUTION
CAUTION
14 Getting Start with The Installation
operation of your electric appliances.
Please disconnect the motor drive from its load before using
the card for the first time to protect your safety. Do not connect
the motor drive to any mechanical devices before the
completion of the installation and fine tuning of the control
system. Connect the system only after the board is adjusted
and the drive parameters can control the motor. Serious
damage may be resulted in otherwise.
PCI-8254 / PCI-8258
2.3.3 Troubleshooting
If the computer cannot power on normally or the motion control
system operates abnormally after system installation, please
follow steps described below for troubleshooting. If the problem
persists after you have taken steps described, please consult the
dealer where your product is purchased for technical services.
Abnormalities you encountered Potential causes
Please turn off your computer,
The card does not show up in
Windows Device Manager after its
driver has been installed
MotionCreatorPro2 cannot open
after installing driver in computer
The without signal indicator on
MotionCreatorPro2 lights up after
the motor is connected and the
motor does not work.
When using the MotionCreatorPro2,
all the control indicators of the drive
light correctly but the drive warns
Value of output command differ from
the feedback value from encoder
If motion control, the motor moves
only in one direction rather than back
and forth two way movement
The motor bursts after executing
Servo On command in speed control
operation
The motor makes loud noise after
executing Servo On command in
speed control operation
ensure the card is properly in PCI
slot and the driver is properly
installed by checking its proper
installation in Windows Control
Panel's "Add remove programs"
Ensure .NET framework v3.5 or later
version has been installed in your
system
Please ensure a 24Vdc power is
connected to the terminal board
Please ensure correctness of the
axis parameter setup, alarm logic
(ALM) and the EMG loop
configuration
Please ensure feedback signal
(CW/CCW, 1xAB, 2xAB, 4xAB)
settings comply with that of the drive
Please ensure setting of signal
pattern (CW/CCW, OUT/DIR)
comply with that of the motor drive
Please ensure that the control
direction of encoder and speed
controller comply with each other
Please make sure the actuator is
correctly adjusted and set up, reset
all the "I" and "D" values of PID
parameters, readjust PID gain
