Introduction 9

Turbo PMAC Clipper

Caution

Some code examples require the user to input specific information pertaining to their system hardware. When user information is required, a commentary ending with –User Input is inserted.

Caution

All PLC examples are stated in PLC number 1. It is the user’s responsibility to arrange their application PLCs’ properly and handle

power-on sequencing for various tasks.

Caution

Often times, downloadable example codes use suggested M-variables,

it is the user’s responsibility to make sure they are downloaded, or

perform necessary changes to use the intended registers.

Downloadable Turbo PMAC Script

This manual contains downloadable code samples in Turbo PMAC script. These examples can be copied and pasted into the editor area in the Pewin32pro2. Care must be taken when using pre-configured Turbo PMAC code, some information may need to be updated to match hardware and system specific configurations. Downloadable Turbo PMAC Scripts are enclosed in the following format:

// TURBO PMAC SCRIPT EXAMPLE P1=0 ; Set P1=0 at download Open PLC 1 Clear ; Open PLC Buffer 1, clear contents CMDP"Turbo PMAC Clipper Manual Test PLC" ; Send unsolicited response to host port P1=P1+1 ; Counter using variable P1 Disable PLC 1 ; Disable plc 1 Close ; Close open buffer

It is the user’s responsibility to use the PLC examples presented in this manual properly. That is, incorporating the statement code in the application configuration, and handling tasks in a sequential manner. For example, with serial absolute encoders, setting up the global control registers should be executed before trying to read absolute position, and absolute phase referencing. Furthermore, other PLC programs (which would be trying to move motors) should be disabled until these functions are executed.

WARNING

Boards with revisions 103 and below have the following requirement:

Mininumum 10 msec rise time 6A @ +5V (±5%) (30 W) The Clipper Board and other stackable accessories each require a

1A @ 5VDC power supply for normal operation; however, the Clipper board has an in-rush current requirement that can reach 3A, so a 6A @ 5VDC power supply is recommended.

Environmental Specifications

Electrical Specifications

Digital Power Supply

The +5V and ground reference lines from the power supply should be connected to TB1 terminal block of the Turbo PMAC Clipper board using 18 AWG stranded wire. The power requirement (± 5%) is:

+5 V (20W) @ 4 A (Eight-channel configuration with a typical load of encoders)

DAC Outputs Power Supply

The ±12V lines from the supply, including the ground reference, can be brought in either from the TB1 terminal block or from the JMACH1 connector.

+12 to +15 V (4.5W) @ 0.30 A (Eight-channel configuration with a typical load of encoders)

-12 to -15 V (3.8W) @ 0.25 A (Eight-channel configuration with a typical load of encoders)

Flags Power Supply

Each channel of PMAC has five dedicated digital inputs on the machine connector: PLIMn, MLIMn (overtravel limits), HOMEn (home flag), FAULTn (amplifier fault), and USERn. A power supply from 5 to 24V must be used to power the circuits related to these inputs. This power supply can be the same used to Turbo PMAC Clipper and can be connected from the TB1 terminal block or the J3 (JMACH1) connector.

RECEIVING AND UNPACKING

Delta Tau products are thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment. When the Turbo PMAC Clipper is received, there are several things to be done immediately:

 Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the

commercial carrier that delivered the board.

 Remove the Turbo PMAC Clipper from the shipping container and remove all packing materials.

Check all shipping material for connector kits, documentation, or other small pieces of equipment. Be aware that some connector kits and other equipment pieces may be quite small and can be accidentally discarded if care is not used when unpacking the equipment. The container and packing materials may be retained for future shipment.

 Verify that the part number of the board received is the same as the part number listed on the

purchase order.

 Inspect for external physical damage that may have been sustained during shipment and report

any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered the board.

 Electronic components in this product are design-hardened to reduce static sensitivity. However,

use proper procedures when handling the equipment.

 If the Turbo PMAC Clipper is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in

a location that conforms to published storage humidity and temperature specifications.

Use of Equipment

The following restrictions will ensure the proper use of the Turbo PMAC Clipper:

 The components built into electrical equipment or machines can be used only as integral

components of such equipment.

 The Turbo PMAC Clipper must not be operated on power supply networks without a ground or

with an asymmetrical ground.

 If the Turbo PMAC Clipper is used in residential areas, or in business or commercial premises,

implement additional filtering measures.

 The Turbo PMAC Clipper may be operated only in a closed switchgear cabinet, taking into

account the ambient conditions defined in the environmental specifications.

Delta Tau guarantees the conformance of the Turbo PMAC Clippers with the standards for industrial areas stated in this manual, only if Delta Tau components (cables, controllers, etc.) are used.

Connections and Software Setup 14

Turbo PMAC Clipper

Caution

Unit must be installed in an enclosure that meets the environmental IP rating of the end product (ventilation or cooling may be necessary to prevent enclosure ambient from exceeding 45° C [113° F]).

MOUNTING

The location of the Turbo PMAC Clipper is important. Installation should be in an area that is protected from direct sunlight, corrosives, harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, and other contaminants. Exposure to these can reduce the operating life and degrade performance of the board.

Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation:

 For effective cooling and maintenance, the Turbo PMAC Clipper should be mounted on a

smooth, non- flammable vertical or horizontal surface.

 At least 100 mm (0.4 inches) top and bottom clearance must be provided for air flow.  Temperature, humidity and Vibration specifications should also be taken in account.

The Turbo PMAC Clipper can be mounted as a stand-alone controller using standoffs. At each of the four corners of the board and at the center edges, there are mounting holes that can be used for this.

The order of the Acc-1P or other stacked accessories with respect to the Clipper Board does not matter. If the Turbo PMAC Clipper is mounted to a back panel, the back panel should be unpainted and electrically conductive to allow for reduced electrical noise interference. The back panel should be machined to accept the standoffs pattern of the board. The board can be mounted to the back panel using four standoffs and internal-tooth lock washers. It is

important that the teeth break through any anodization on the board’s mounting gears to provide a good

electrically conductive path in as many places as possible. Mount the board on the back panel so there is airflow at both the top and bottom areas of the board (at least 0.4 inches).

J2: Serial Port

This connector allows communicating with Turbo PMAC Clipper from a host computer through a RS232 port. Delta Tau provides the Accessory 3L cable that connects the PMAC to a DB-9 connector. This port can be used as a primary communication mean or employed as a secondary port that allows simultaneous communication.

10-pin female flat cable connector T&B Ansley P/N 609-1041 Standard flat cable stranded 10-wire T&B Ansley P/N 171-10

The baud rate for the RS-232 serial port is set by variable I54. At power-up reset, The Turbo PMAC Clipper sets the active baud based on the setting of I54 and the CPU speed I52. Note that the baud rate frequency is divided down from the CPU’s operational frequency. The factory default baud rate is 38400. This baud rate will be selected automatically on re-initialization of the Clipper, either in hardware power cycle or in software using the $$$*** command.

To change the baud rate setting on the Turbo PMAC Clipper, set I54 to the corresponding value of desired frequency. Restart the software (Pewin32Pro2), and adjust to the correct baud rate in the communication setup window. Then issue a SAVE and a reset ($$$), or recycle power on the Clipper. For odd baud rate settings, refer to the Turbo Software Reference Manual.

The standard encoder inputs on the Turbo PMAC Clipper are designed for differential quadrature type signals.

Quadrature encoders provide two digital signals to determine the position of the motor. Each nominally with 50% duty cycle, and nominally 1/4 cycle apart. This format provides four distinct states per cycle of the signal, or per line of the encoder. The phase difference of the two signals permits the decoding electronics to discern the direction of travel, which would not be possible with a single signal.

Typically, these signals are 5V TTL/CMOS level whether they are single-ended or differential. Differential signals can enhance noise immunity by providing common mode noise rejection. Modern design standards virtually mandate their use in industrial systems.

floating – do not ground them. Alternately, some open collector single ended encoders may require tying the negative pins to ground in series with a 1-2 KOhm resistors.

 Some motor manufacturers bundle the hall sensors with the

motor-lead cable. The hall sensors must be brought into J7 connector.

Differential Quadrature Encoder Wiring for Channel #1

Setting up Quadrature Encoders

Digital Quadrature Encoders use the 1/T incremental entry in the encoder conversion table. Position and velocity pointers should, by default, be valid and in most cases no software setup is required, activating (Ixx00=1) the corresponding channel is sufficient to see encoder counts in the position window when the motor/encoder shaft is moved by hand.

I100,4,100 = 1 ; Servo IC0 Channels 1-4 activated I500,4,100 = 1 ; Servo IC0 Channels 5-8 activated (First Acc-1P) I900,4,100 = 1 ; Servo IC0 Channels 9-12 activated (Second Acc-1P)

Setting up Sinusoidal Encoders

For sinusoidal position feedback, the Acc-51S, sine wave input interpolator, stacks on top of the Turbo PMAC Clipper or on top of the Acc-1P 5-8 axis board. Channels 1 – 4 of the ACC-51S correspond to PMAC channels 1 – 4 if the ACC-51S is connected to the main Turbo PMAC Clipper; channels 1 – 4 of the ACC-51S correspond to PMAC channels 5 – 8 if the ACC-51S is connected to the ACC-1P board.

Connections and Software Setup 22

Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual

Note

 ACC-51S channels 1 – 4 become PMAC channels 1 – 4 if ACC-

51S jumper E1 connects pins 2 and 3.

 ACC-51S channels 1 – 4 become PMAC channels 5 – 8 if ACC

51S jumper E1 connects pins 1 and 2.

Counts per User Units

With the interpolation of x 4096 in Turbo PMAC, there are 128 (4096/32) motor counts per sine/cosine cycles. Motor counts can be monitored in the motor position window upon moving the motor by hand. Examples: A 1024 Sine/Cosine periods per revolution of a rotary encoder produces 1024 x 128 = 131,072 cts/rev. A 20 μm linear encoder resolution produces 128/0.02 = 6400 cts/mm.

Amplifier Fault Signal (FAULT-)

This input can take a signal from the amplifier so PMAC knows when the amplifier is having problems, and can shut down action. The polarity is programmable with I-variable Ixx24 (I124 for motor 1) and the return signal is ground (GND). FAULT1- is pin 35. With the default setup, this signal must actively be pulled low for a fault condition. In this setup, if nothing is wired into this input, PMAC will consider the motor not to be in a fault condition.

Overtravel Limits and Home Switches

When assigned for the dedicated uses, these signals provide important safety and accuracy functions. PLIMn and MLIMn are direction-sensitive over-travel limits that must conduct current to permit motion in that direction. If no over-travel switches will be connected to a particular motor, this feature must be disabled in the software setup through the PMAC Ixx24 variable.

Wiring the Limits and Flags

PMAC expects a closed-to-ground connection for the limits to not be considered on fault. This arrangement provides a failsafe condition. Usually, a passive normally close switch is used. If a proximity switch is needed instead, use a 5 to 24V normally closed to ground NPN sinking type sensor.

Thumbwheel Multiplexer Port on the JTHW connector has 8 inputs and 8 outputs at TTL levels. The output lines can be used to multiplex large numbers of inputs and outputs on the port, and Delta Tau provides accessory boards and software structures (special M-variable definitions) to capitalize on this feature. In this form, some of the SELn outputs are used to select which of the multiplexed I/O are to be accessed. Up to 32 of the multiplexed I/O boards may be daisy-chained on the port, in any combination.

Caution

The electrical ground plane of the host PC connected through USB must be at the same level as the Turbo PMAC Clipper. Ground loops may result in ESD shocks causing the damage of the communication processor on the Turbo PMAC Clipper.

Note

Use a shielded USB (category 6 or 7) cable. In noise sensitive environment, install ferrite cores at both Clipper and PC side.

J12: Ethernet Communications Port

This connector is used to establish communication over Ethernet between the PC and the Turbo PMAC Clipper. A crossover cable is required if you are going directly to the Clipper from the PC Ethernet card, and not through a hub. Delta Tau strongly recommends the use of RJ45 CAT5e or better shielded cable. Newer network cards have the Auto-MDIX feature that eliminates the need for crossover cabling by performing an internal crossover when a straight cable is detected during the auto-negotiation process. For older network cards, one end of the link must perform media dependent interface (MDI) crossover (MDIX), so that the transmitter on one end of the data link is connected to the receiver on the other end of the data link (a crossover/patch cable is typically used). If an RJ45 hub is used, then a regular straight cable must be implemented. Maximum length for Ethernet cable should not exceed 100m (330ft).

J13: USB Communications Port

This connector is used to establish USB (A-B type cable) communication between the host PC and the Turbo PMAC Clipper. This type of USB cable can be purchased at any local electronics or computer store. It may be ordered from Delta Tau as well.

JP11: OPT-11 Shunt

Not present if OPT-11 is installed. For internal use only.

DRIVE - MOTOR SETUP

The Turbo PMAC Clipper supports three types of outputs:

 Analog ±10V 12-bit Filtered PWM  Analog ±10V 18-bit True DAC with Acc-8ES  Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM)

The following chart summarizes the steps to implement for setting up a motor properly with the Turbo PMAC Clipper:

Drive – Motor Setup 44

Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual

Note

Some amplifiers operate in the ±5V range; this can be regulated using the motor command output limit, parameter Ixx69.

Note

 Filtered PWM Output Configuration sets the Max PWM

frequency very high (29KHz). This setting can be problematic with Direct PWM commutation on the same servo IC.

 The ACC-28A and ACC-28B cannot be used on the same servo

IC since the PWM frequency settings are out of range for these products.

PWM Frequency

Resolution

Ripple

Filtered PWM Output (Analog ±10V)

In this mode, the ±10V analog output is obtained by passing the digital PWM signal through a 10 KHz low pass filter. This technique, although not as performing as a true digital to analog converter, is more than adequate for most servo applications.

The duty cycle of the PWM signal controls the magnitude of the voltage output. This is handled internally by the PMAC, the user needs not to change any settings.

However, the frequency of the PWM signal determines the output resolution and ripple magnitude (disturbance). The trade-off is as follows:

The higher the PWM frequency, the lower is the resolution with a low-ripple signal output. The lower the PWM frequency, the higher is the resolution with a high-ripple signal output.

Both the resolution and the frequency of the Filtered PWM outputs are configured in software on the Turbo PMAC Clipper through the variable I7000. This variable also effects the phase and servo interrupts. Therefore as we change I7000 we will also have to change I7001 (phase clock divider), I7002 (servo clock divider), and I10 (servo interrupt time). These four variables are all related and must be understood before adjusting parameters. The detailed information for these parameters can be found in the Turbo Software Reference Manual.

The following diagram showcases important bit settings pertaining to flags, and amplifier information:

Example: Setting Ixx24 for a low true amplifier and disabling the over-travel limit switches yields $20001.

I124,4,100 = $20001

I2T Protection: Ixx57, Ixx58

I2T is a software thermal model (PMAC internal calculation) used to protect motor and drive from exceeding current specifications. For a safe setup, the lower limit of continuous and peak current specifications between the motor and drive should be selected.

Example:

A Turbo PMAC Clipper driving a torque-mode amplifier that has a gain of 3 amperes/volt and a continuous current rating of 10 amperes, with a motor rated to 12 amperes continuous.

Using the amplifier’s continuous current rating of 10 Amps:

#define ContCurrent 10 ; Continuous Current Limit [Amps] –User Input #define MaxADC 30 ; full range ADC reading, Amplifier Spec. –User Input #define I2TOnTime 2 ; Time allowed at peak Current, Amp/motor spec [sec] –User Input #define ServoClk 2.45 ; Servo Clock, pre-defined in suggested clocks [Khz]

I157 = INT(I7000*ContCurrent/MaxADC) I158 = INT((I7000*I7000-I157*I157)*ServoClk*1000*I2TOnTime/(I7000*I7000)) I257=I157 I357=I157 I457=I157 I557=I157 I657=I157 I757=I157 I857=I157 I258=I158 I358=I158 I458=I158 I558=I158 I657=I158 I757=I158 I857=I158

Open Loop Test: Encoder/Decode

The open-loop test is critical to verify the direction sense of the encoder counting versus the command output. A positive command should create a positive velocity and a position counting in the positive direction; a negative command should create a negative velocity and a position counting in the negative direction. The Open Loop test utility in the PMACTuningPro2 Software can be used to execute and open loop test. It can also be carried manually from the terminal window while gathering position, velocity data or simply monitoring the motor velocity in the position window.

Drive – Motor Setup 47

Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual

The open-loop test is usually performed on an unloaded motor. The open loop command output is adjustable, start off with a conservative 1 to 2 percent command output (i.e. #nO2) value and increment gradually until you see a satisfactory result.

If the failure persists (inverted saw tooth, as shown in the plot), or you observe oscillations in the response instead of a saw tooth, then most likely the direction sense of the encoder is opposite to the command output.

Unsatisfactory Open Loop Test Result

General recommendation for troubleshooting an unsuccessful open loop test

An inverted saw tooth response, most times, indicates that the direction sense of the encoder is opposite to that of the command output.

If the motor/axis direction does not comply now with the machine design then negative jog commands can be issued for positive motion, and vice versa. Similarly, for motion programs, the motor can then assigned to a negative axis definition.

Change I7mn0 to 3 from 7 (default) or vice-versa.

 Absolute Serial Encoders (EnDat, SSI, BiSS, Yaskawa, Panasonic, Tamagawa, Mitutoyo):

The Turbo PMAC Clipper has no control on the direction sense of the serial data stream (packets). There are no software parameters that allow changing the direction sense of absolute serial encoders. Normally, it is set by jumpers or software at the encoder side. Some amplifiers allow swapping the DAC+ and DAC- signal to invert the direction travel of the motor. Otherwise, two of the motor leads have to be swapped. If the motor/axis direction does not comply now with the machine design then negative jog commands can be issued for positive motion, and vice versa. Similarly, for motion programs, the motor can then assigned to a negative axis definition. .

Pulse and Direction Output (PFM)

The Pulse and direction (Pulse Frequency Modulation) output pins are located on the J4 (JMACH2) connector. The stepper drive specifications dictate the choice of the maximum PFM clock frequency, and pulse width.

DT Calculator Forum Link

Step 1: Choose Max PFM clock by changing the PFM clock divider. Click on calculate to see results. Step 2: Choose PFM Pulse width by changing I7m04. Click on calculate to see results.

The output frequency control Ixx69 specifies the maximum command output value which corresponds to the maximum PFM Frequency.

PFM Clock Settings Example

Take a desired PFM clock frequency of 0-20 KHz, and a pulse width of ~20 μsec:

// Channels 1-4 PFM Clock Settings I7003 = 2290 ; Servo IC 0 PFM Clock divider equal to 6 I7004 = 13 ; Servo IC 0 PFM Pulse Width Control equal to 13 I169,4,100 = 2427 ; Channels 1-4 Output Command Limit

In PFM mode, it is possible to:

 Write directly to the PFM output register using the suggested M-Variable definition (Mxx07)

The corresponding channel has to be deactivated in this mode (Ixx00=0)

 Issue open loop commands to a channel/motor, e.g.:#1O5

The corresponding channel has to be activated in this mode (Ixx00=1)

 Issue closed loop commands to a channel/motor, e.g.: #1J=1000

The corresponding channel has to be activated (Ixx00=1) and the position loop PID gains have to be implemented.

Issuing Open-Loop Commands

Activating the motor channel should be sufficient at this point to allow open loop commands. Note that an open loop command of zero magnitude (#nO0) will result in a zero frequency output, and an open loop command of 100 (#nO100) will result in the maximum calculated frequency output.

I900,4,100=1 ; Channels 9-12 active (Second Acc-1P)

Going back to the setup example, these are some open loop commands resulting frequencies:

Issuing Closed-Loop Commands

Issuing closed-loop commands requires activating the channel, setting the flag control, assigning the position and velocity pointers, and implementing PID gains.

Setup of a Fifth Motor Using Opt-12 on the Clipper Board

The DSPGATE2A supplemental channels are set with I6800-6807. Set these to the same values as specified for the filtered PWM outputs (leave I6804-I6807 at default). Example Turbo PMAC script code for motor 5:

I6800 = 1001 ; PWM frequency 29.4kHz, PWM 1-4 I6801 = 5 ; Phase Clock 9.8kHz I6802 = 3 ; Servo frequency 2.45kHz I6803 = 1746 ; ADC frequency I6816 = 0 ; Output mode: PWM, I68n6 I569 = 1001 ; Channel 5 DAC limit 10Vdc, Ixx69

The encoder decode I-variables are I68n0-68n9 (n = supplementary channels 1 and 2). Set these for your encoders as normal. Note there are no direct inputs for flags so capture I-variables are not used. The Output Command Registers (Ixx02) now must point to the DSPGATE2A 3rd Channel Outputs at $78414 and $7841C first and second supplemental registers respectively. The addresses of the DSPGATE2A Counters/Timers used in the encoder conversion table are $78410 and $78418 first and second supplementary registers respectively. When using the OPT-12 filtered PWM DAC on the hand-wheel port use the second output at $7841C. The encoder counter registers are at:

Mxx->X:$78411,0,24,s // first counter register Mxx->X:$78419,0,24,s // second counter register

Flags access through JOPTO port.

The OPT-12 channel may also access its machine I/O such as the overtravels, home, and fault flags for one motor only. This is done through the JOPTO I/O lines (J9), by changing their function so that they would act as Home / Pos / Neg / User flags for only the first channel of the two supplemental channels; there are no flags for the second channel since these pins of the general I/O port of the PMAC2 gate2 are not brought out in this board. The following example sets up the OPT-12 for two motors (#9 and #10) of pulse and direction control with full machine I/O on motor #9.

Wiring example:

LASER CONTROL OUTPUT

Clipper’s Option 11 consists of a programmable lattice chip which can be programmed based upon

customer’s requirements. The main objective for this option is to be used as a laser controller. Different programs can be loaded in this chip based upon customers’ requirements and each code will be designated

an alpha-numeric suffix after options number if the code is developed by Delta Tau and can be ordered at a later time with the same suffix. Clipper’s option-11A is developed as a general command signal needed for CO2 lasers. Usually CO2 lasers require a few digital I/O signals in order to control the status and mode of the laser and a control signal, which based upon the signal features controls the output power of the laser. The laser can be in a few different modes:

 Disabled  Standby  Active

Controlling between disabled mode and other modes is usually done through a digital output, either directly if the device is TTL level or it would have to be done through a relay system. The difference between the “Standby” mode and “Active” mode is because of the signal type and shape. Usually in order to control the output power of the laser, a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal is used and the positive duty cycle of the signal indicates the output power of the laser, varying from 0 to 100%. However, in order to ensure immediate response from the laser when an output is required, the gas needs to be kept ionized. This can be achieved by outputting a PFM signal. The frequency and duty cycle required for each of these modes differs based on the laser model and size and should be adjusted accordingly. Assuming the following graph is the laser output response to a step command, the frequency of the modulation can be selected.

As you can see, the rise time for the laser is about 126μsec. This means in order for our modulation to fully cover the 0 to 100% range of the output, the frequency should be set close to 1/126μsec = 7936 Hz

or 8kHz. The tickle pulse is required in order to reduce the time between the change of command to PWM and actual output of the laser. However calculating the signal requirements for the Tickle pulse is

dependent on the laser and differs for different manufacturers. For example the laser shown in the above graph, requires a 5kHz signal with 0.5% duty cycle as its Tickle pulse.

In the next section we will use this laser specific information to set up Option-11A. Please note that the values and settings here are just an example and your values might be different. Please refer to your laser documentation or contact the manufacturer for detailed information about your specific laser.

Understanding Option-11A Capabilities

Option-11A has been programmed to include a few logical gates controlling the output signals. In general there are a few signals available from the Clipper as inputs to the Lattice chip.

Laser Control Output 62

Turbo PMAC Clipper Hardware Reference Manual

The following logic circuit is programmed as the Option-11A into the Lattice chip:

As you can see, the idea is to switch the output between PWM_B signal and PFM signal based upon either of the EQU outputs. EQU outputs are fast responding outputs which can either be activated manually or based upon position compare feature of the PMAC. CTRL outputs control which of the EQUs or what combination of EQUs will be used to control the output mode. As an example, if a user wants to use EQU1 to switch between the Tickle pulse (PFM) and Output mode (PWM), then CTRL0 must be turned on. As a safety measure, no output will be generated unless at least one of the CTRL outputs is set to 1.

Clock Settings

The clock used for PWM is related to the Max Phase Clock, which is used to generate the Phase and Servo clock, selecting an appropriate PWM frequency which satisfies both the laser requirements and servo requirements can be challenging, especially if user is trying to use Filtered PWM outputs as DAC outputs for amplifier commands.

In most of the applications, the PWM frequency is a set value and is not change at all, however in some applications this is not the case and the PWM has to change based upon the material being cut or worked

on. If you are required to change the PWM based upon the material, you won’t be able to use the filtered

PWM outputs directly available from the Clipper board and you have to use ACC-8ES (Analog Servo Interface) in order to get the DAC outputs for servo amplifier commands. If the PWM frequency required for the laser is less than 30kHz required for the Filtered PWM outputs, which mostly is the case, then the PWM frequency of the DSPGate1 (30kHz) should be divisible by PWM frequency of the DSPGate2 which is used for generating the laser output signal. The clock source on the Clipper, by default, is the DSPGate1, which in this case needs to be changed to DSPGate2. In order to change the clock source, the following steps should be followed carefully in exact explained order or else you may cause a watchdog. Switching the clock source:

1. Set I19=6807.

2. Issue SAVE and $$$.

3. Set I6807=0 and I7007=3 on the same line.

4. Issue SAVE and $$$.

This will change the clock source from DSPGate1 to DSPGate2. Once the clock source is switched, the following settings will give you different PWM frequencies on the laser output while keeping the 30 kHz PWM requirement for Filtered PWM outputs:

Caution

Issuing a SAVE after power up (with the E3 jumper) will permanently erase any user configured parameters.

Re-initialization jumper (Factory Reset)

The E3 jumper is used to reset the Turbo PMAC Clipper back to factory default settings, global reset.

Re-initialization instructions: Power down the unit. Install the E3 jumper, then power back up. The factory default parameters are now restored from the firmware EEPROM into the active memory. Issue a SAVE and a $$$ to maintain this configuration.

Watchdog Timer

On a Turbo PMAC Clipper, the watchdog timer trigger illuminates the red WD LED and interrupts communication. It occurs if any of the following applies:

 PMAC CPU over-clocked:

In this mode, the CPU signals that is has been overloaded with computation and cannot accomplish tasks in a timely manner. e.g. bad programming such as an infinite loop, or too much computation (Kinematics) requiring faster CPU option.

 Wrong clock settings:

In this mode, the user has downloaded or written bad values to clock setting parameters.

 Logic power supply +5V failure:

In this mode, the 5V logic power supply has failed. Check and monitor the 5VDC power.

 Downloading wrong configuration file (I4900):

In this mode, the user has reloaded a configuration file uploaded from a 4-axis unit (Servo IC 1 parameters set to zero) into an 8-axis unit, thus writing zero to the second Servo IC clock parameters. Commenting out variables I7100…7106 (or forcing them to hold the same values as I7000…I7106) eliminates the watchdog problem.
