INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The EMERSON EMC Positioning Drives are the first servo products specifically designed to offer high performance position control without the maze of boards, wires, connectors, pot adjustments and transformers normally associated with servo systems. The DX-Series drives support brushless motors and range in size from 2 in-lbs. To 400 in-lbs., continuous. Special care in motor selection has resulted in drives that have excellent torque to inertia ratios.
The drives consist of ruggedly constructed enclosures which contains all the required components for position and velocity control. The drives also provide connections for interfacing with external machine inputs and outputs, and logic control, along with a serial interface port that is used to program the drive.
Calibration
Calibration of the Positioning Drive is virtually eliminated because all user potentiometer adjustments have been eliminated. The potentiometer adjustments have been replaced by firmware. The software pre-sets the compensation values and continuously adjusts these values during motion. This allows the system to operate over a large inertial range without any manual adjustments or tuning required.
Installation
Installation and wiring is fast and easy because the Positioning Drive operates in most environments directly from an AC line source without requiring a separate isolation transformer. The unit is designed to be back mounted within a standard Nema enclosure typically found in a production facility. The size has also been minimized to allow users to reduce the space requirements for incorporating a servo control into their production machinery.
Motor
Each Positioning Drive includes a high performance servo motor whose characteristics have been matched to the drive amplifier. Thus, the chance for a mismatch between the motor and the Positioning Drive is eliminated.
Programming and Troubleshooting
EMERSON EMC provides an easy to use software programming package with every drive that operates on an IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computer with 512K bytes of RAM and a serial interface port. This software makes the Positioning Drive simple to program even for first time servo users. It is almost essential that the user of the positioning servo drive have access to a personal computer (PC). The PC can be used to change data, up and down load data and most importantly, help solve problems during operation and startup.

Introduction to the basic positioning drive amplifier
The Positioning Drive amplifier is different from common analog amplifiers in that it includes a position feedback loop and the electronics to control motion functions. To accomplish this, the motor uses resolver feedback. The resolver converter electronics in the amplifier develops velocity and position feedback signals required for high performance and precise velocity and position control.
In addition the amplifier offers three standard modes of control providing a host of alternatives for implementing real time motion control.
In the ANALOG TORQUE or VELOCITY mode, the amplifier responds to a conventional +/­10 volt signal. Most variable speed drives and servo amplifiers on the market today receive commands via analog input.
The true power and versatility of the Positioning Drive is best utilized in the additional positioning control modes. In most applications the user will use one of the following modes of operation.
In the PULSE mode, the drive responds to a serial pulse train representing externally generated incremental position change commands. These commands are normally in the form of CW or CCW directional pulses. This mode is commonly used to control DC stepper motors or numeric controlled (CNC) machinery.
The INDEXING mode allows up to thirty-two different indexes or positions to be pre­programmed and stored in a non-volatile memory. These indexes plus other commands such as STOP and JOG are selected easily by the drive’s parallel input/output (I/O) lines from devices such as PLCs or operator push buttons. Parallel I/O commands can be used for stand alone operation or, simultaneously in conjunction with any other two control modes.
Another powerful feature of the INDEXING mode allows ASCII commands through the standard RS423 serial interface. This interface port allows the user to down load new dimensional data e.g., position, distance, velocity, etc., and command an internally generated index using those parameters. These ASCII serial commands are well suited to operation from the RS232C serial interface on an IBM Personal Computer (PC) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with ASCII or Basic Module.
For additional stand alone motion control capability, the drive is designed to accept a series of application oriented modules called “PCM” modules. The PCMs can be attached to any drive by simply plugging them onto the front. The PCM is designed to share the power supply inside of the drive and includes 12 additional optically isolated inputs/outputs (making a total of 24). When attached, the PCM module extends the operation of the Positioning Drive system.
The IOM-1, PCM-1, PCM-2 and PCM-5 modules are designed to be plug-on additions to EMERSON EMC’s line of Positioning Drives. Each module is intended to enhance a specific performance characteristic of the positioning drives.

Peripherals
IOM-1 Input/Output Expander Module
The IOM Module mounts to the front of the basic drive to double the I/O capability for those applications where the number of inputs and outputs provided with the basic unit are not adequate for interfacing motion to the machine logic controllers. Each of these lines are optically isolated and can be connected in either a current sinking or current sourcing arrangement. In addition, the IOM-1 includes the parallel interface port required for connecting 1 or 2 thumbwheels and 1 remote display or parallel communications with a PLC.
PCM-1
The PCM-1 module converts the basic Positioning Drive from a “smart” servo drive system with indexing capabilities into a motion control system capable of executing numbered sequences of indexes called motion programs. Each motion program combines basic indexes to achieve complex motion profiles beyond what is possible with the basic drive. In addition, the PCM module greatly increases the non-volatile memory storage capability of the standard digital drive. This allows the user greater flexibility in both the size and the number of programs (and indexes) available. Another advantage of PCM-1 is that it increases the number of input lines from 8 to 16 and the number of output lines is increased from 4 to 8. All inputs and outputs are assignable from a standard list of I/O functions. Lastly, the PCM-1 allows the user to create compound indexes and includes the parallel interface port required for connecting 1 or 2 thumbwheels and 1 remote display or parallel communications with a PLC.
PCM-5
The PCM-5 has most of the capability of the PCM-1. The PCM-5 is able to do electronic synchronized line shafting and ratio control. This is accomplished by using an external encoder or drive representing a lead axis connected to the PCM-5. The drive with the PCM-5 can then be synchronized to the lead device. This mode of operation also allows for pulse counting of the lead device and indexing at velocities proportional to its speed. With this capability, flying shear/cutoff applications can easily be configured.

Operator Interface
Emerson EMC can provide three different peripheral devices to enhance the operator friendliness of your drive. The T-21 Data Entry Terminal is ideally suited for providing machine operators with the ability to enter and/or alter and display machine motion parameters controlled by Emerson Digital Positioning Servo Drive. The T-16 displays position and velocity parameters using large sized LEDs that are visible from several feet away. Emerson EMC offers a simple thumbwheel interface called a TW-XXX that is offered in many different configurations. The TW-XXX is used to change data of a specific motion parameter or parameters. The thumbwheel option is ideal for applications needing minimum operator interface.
T-21 Data Entry Terminal
The T-21 communicates with any Emerson Positioning Drive using serial ASCII codes and allows the machine designer to access, display, or alter certain motion parameters such as index length. For frequently accessed motion parameters, the operator cam simply depress one of three user programmable function switches located on the front panel. By depressing the correct function key, the proper user created message is displayed. The message can be created to include information as to what setup parameter is being changed, on which axis, etc. If more than 3 operator altered setup parameters are required, a fourth F(x) key allows the user to store up to 95 additional operator alterable setup functions.
T-16 Numeric Display
The T-16 is used to display position or velocity of the drive. The T-16 has 7 large LEDs that are visible from several feet away. This allows the operator to view data shown on the display from different positions on a machine. The T-16 requires the use of the ION-1 or a PCM-1 module. The T-16 plugs into the parallel port on the module.
TW-XXX Thumbwheel Interface
The thumbwheel interface provides the user with a non-serial interface method for making changes to specific motion functions. The user can set up the thumbwheel to change velocities, distances/positions, dwell times, index counts, and acceleration and deceleration times. All the thumbwheels are mounted in a small, self contained enclosure. Cables can be ordered in specific lengths from 3 feet to 50 feet. The TW-XXX requires the user to have an IOM-1 or a PCM-1 module. The TW-XXX plugs into the parallel port on the module.

INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW
The Positioning Drives were designed with simple installation in mind. The Drive normally back-mounts into a standard NEMA enclosure. Because of its small footprint and no need for external transformers, boards and power supplies, the Positioning Drive saves significant panel space and cost over alternative servo positioning systems. Wiring and connecting the drive is equally simple. AC line power is connected via provided screw terminals. All 120 VAC models use single phase 50/60 Hz power. All 230 VAC models use 3 phase 50/60 Hz power.
Inputs and outputs for control and status are wired to a 12 position, detachable terminal strip (this also makes servicing easy). The RS423 serial interface used for setup, status and control can be connected with a 9 pin D-type connector. The motor connections for the 120 VAC single phase models are accomplished with factory supplied cable and mating connectors. The higher power 230 VAC 3 phase models are connected via screw terminals at the amplifier and motor. This allows the user to supply his own wire.
The larger drive motors also have NPT pipe thread holes for metallic raceways. It is a requirement that the stator wiring R, S, T be run in metallic raceways and 1-1/4” pipe conduit holes are provided. The feedback wiring must be done by using shielded cabling with 100% shielding via a foil shield and a braided shield.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following procedures outline the methods necessary to assure reliable and trouble free installation of the EMERSON EMC Positioning Drive.

Recommended
Minimum Wire Gauge
* AC power lines that are farther than 50 ft. from the power source, many require a larger gauge that
what is recommended above.
Wiring Considerations
If you are not sure of your grounding or signal wiring techniques, you should observe the recommended practices according to the IEEE Ground Book, ANSI Standard C1141 and the National Electric Code.
Wiring of any industrial equipment should be done with some consideration for future troubleshooting and repair. All wiring should be either color coded or tagged with industrial wire tabs.
All I/O wiring must be done with industrial grade insulated wire to withstand the environment of the application. 18 to 24 gauge wire must be used for I/O wiring. The use of larger gauge wire will cause the I/O terminals to prematurely fatigue. Each input and output to the control unit is designed to have high noise immunity. This does not mean that high voltage, noise emitting wiring on the rest of the application can be run adjacent to the control inputs. Precautions should be taken to eliminate any possible noise from reaching the drive.
- 20 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Safety Considerations
The user is responsible for emergency interlock switches. Any master interlock should be wired to shut down AC power to all parts of the system. Your system should be designed such that power is disconnected from the output loads any time the equipment is not running, or when the emergency stop is activated.
Brake Option
An additional safety and operational feature can be added by ordering the optional fail-safe brake. The brake allows the motor shaft to be held whenever power is removed from the brake coil (such as in a power failure). The user can control the on/off operation of the brake through either serial commands or an assigned input line. The power supply needed to operate the brake is provided internally in the drive.
Power Line
The lower power 120 VAC (DX-202 thru DX-7120) drives are designed to operate on a 50/60 Hz, single phase AC power line. The AC voltage of this power line must be within the specified range of 96-132 VAC and be free of voltage transients which exceed this range. If it is found that the AC power does not meet these specifications, further AC line conditioning may be required. Also, if there is sensitive electronic equipment (digital computer, test equipment, etc.) operating on the same AC power line as the Drive, additional EMI/RFI filtering may be required to reduce the effects of conducted AC line noise. Operation at 96 VAC will reduce the drive’s performance at high (max) speed.
The AC input lines are connected to the drive by means of the 3-position terminal strip located on the bottom plate of the drive. The AC line wires should be connected as shown below. Insufficient or incorrectly applied AC line power is a major cause of drive problems. Wiring sizing and transformer selection (if necessary) should be done carefully.
CAUTION: To insure proper operation after a power down the user should wait a minimum of
10 seconds before reapplication of power.

The high power 230 VAC (DX-6120, DX-6200, DX-6300, DX-8200, DX-8300, DX-8400) are designed to operate on 3 phase AC power. The AC voltage for these drives must be between 196 to 264 VAC.
The AC input lines are connected to the drive by means of the 4 terminals located on the bottom plate of the drive. The AC line wires should be connected as shown below. Insufficient AC line power from wire size and control transformers is a major cause of drive problems.

Grounding Considerations
The GND terminal of the drive is internally bonded to the frame. The enclosure ground and the drive ground should be a common single point that ultimately is a continuous electrical path to earth ground. The following example illustrates the ideal grounding arrangement of the AC power.
Figure 12 Grounding Illustration
NOTE: These ground wires should not be shared with other equipment. Also note that the
neutral (L2) for the 120 VAC source for the low power positioning drive is grounded.

Electrical Noise
Effects of electrical noise on the electronic equipment are greatly reduce when the techniques outlined below are closely followed.
1. Do not run low power control signals and high power wiring in the same raceway.
NOTE: If mixing wire cannot be avoided, then the low voltage control input and output wiring must be shielded. The shield for these wires should only be connected to ground only at the source end of the signals.
2. Never connect both ends of a shielded cable to ground. This may cause a ground loop
condition which could be very difficult to locate.
3. It is suggested that all the wires in the system be kept as short as possible.
Magnetic Coil Noise
In the case of DC relays, a diode is installed across the coil in a direction that will cause the voltage transient to be dissipated through the diode.
Figure 15 Magnetic Coil Noise (DC Line)
In the case of AC coils a capacitor and resistor are installed across the coil to supress the unwanted transient.
Figure 16 Magnetic Coil Noise (AC Line)
The specific values of resistance and capacitance may vary depending on the inductance of the coil. Consult the relay manufacturer for the proper values to use. These suppressor networks greatly extend the life of the contacts controlling the coil because the transient energy, which can easily reach 1000 volts, shunts through the suppressor’s rather than arcing across the controlling contacts as they open.

Mechanical Consideration
To provide good mechanical alignment the mounting surface of the motor face plate is held perpendicular to the motor shaft to within 0.005 inches of the motor shaft. Projecting above the plane of the mounting surface is a close tolerance circular pilot boss, which, when matched with a pilot hole in the mounting structure, facilitates interchanging the motor, and minimizes the need for mechanical adjustments. The mounting surface is fitted with four holes, equally spaced on a bolt circle pattern.
The mounting panel must be stiff enough so it does not deflect significantly when radial loads are applied to the motor shaft. The mounting panel should also have good thermal conductivity, especially if peak performance is demanded of the motor.
Mechanical shock to the motor case or shaft (e.g., from striking or dropping) must be avoided to prevent damage to the motor. Possible results from striking or dropping include: Misalignment of the resolver; damage to armature bearings; cracking of the motor case; unbonding or demagnetization of the permanent magnets. Any of these would render the motor unserviceable.
Load Coupling
A flexible coupling must be used on the motor shaft to minimize mechanical stress due to radial loads, axial loads and/or misalignment. Radial and axial loading cannot exceed specified values.
Table VIII Load Coupling
Motor Max Radial Load Max Axial Load
DXM-202 10 lbs** 8 lbs DXM-205 10 lbs** 8 lbs DXM-308 20 lbs** 15 lbs DXM-318 20 lbs** 15 lbs DX* -430 50 lbs** 20 lbs DX* -450 50 lbs** 20 lbs DX* -480 75 lbs** 40 lbs DXM-780 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-7120 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-6120 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-6200 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-6300 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-8200 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-8300 150 lbs** 50 lbs DXM-8400 150 lbs** 50 lbs
* M-(XXX) = Metric E –(XXX) = English ** Maximum radial load is rated at 1 inch from the motor face
Gear Reduce Oil
It is strongly suggested that a synthetic oil is used in the gear reducer or rotary tables. This will reduce the amount of current it takes to drive the motor.

Selecting An Enclosure
The EMERSON EMC Positioning Drive is designed for the industrial environment. However, no sophisticated electronic system can tolerate certain atmospheric contaminants such as moisture, oils, conductive dust and metallic particles. Therefore, if the drive is going to be subjected to this type of environment, we strongly urge you to mount your drive in a NEMA type 12 enclosure. Proper ventilation and filtering should also be provided. Amplifier losses should be considered for enclosure sizing and ventilation.
Amplifier Losses
The exact power losses in any application depend on the application. The following table losses would represent typical examples. The bridge power losses and shunt power losses can be derated based on any duty cycle for power demand.
The logic supply power consumption varies based on PCM modules. For all 120 VAC models, the logic power consumption is about 60 watts for the 230 VAC models. The consumption is about 100 watts.
The next consideration would be bridge power losses which vary by amplifier size. The table represents losses based on maximum continuous output current to the motor.
In applications where constant acceleration and deceleration occur, additional losses occur in the shunt regulator where energy stored in the rotating inertia is commutated to the drives BUS capacitors. This energy causes the BUS voltage to increase and once sensed, the excess voltage is shorted through a load resistor. These losses could easily equal the bridge power losses.

MAIN/AUXILIARY AC POWER
Figure 35 Motor/Amplifier Auxiliary Wiring
An external AC voltage of 220 VAC single phase can be connected to the AUX AX power input to the appropriate terminals (L1, L2 and GND). The main/auxiliary switch can be switched to the AUX position. Power for the logic supplies that power the computer is now separated from the high power circuits that create the motor +BUS voltage. The high current and voltage can now be removed from the three phase L1/L2/L3 and GND terminals, thus eliminating the DC BUS supply voltage source for the motor. Under these conditions, the position feedback from the resolver is in tact, yet high power voltage and current sources for R, S & T are removed. Motor power reduces to nothing as the BUS capacitors discharge after AC power is removed from the “MAIN AC POWER” input. An un-interruptible power supply of 220 VAC at 1 amp is adequate for power to the auxiliary input.

OPERATING MODES
OVERVIEW
The Positioning Drive is differentiated from common analog servo drives in that the amplifier includes a position feedback loop. As a result, the amplifier will provide both precise position and velocity control of the motor. The drive utilizes resolver feedback for both velocity and position feedback. Thus, a tachometer is no longer required.
The drives include three different control modes providing alternatives for implementing motion control. The modes are listed below.

MODE SELECTION
There are basically three separate operating modes: ANALOG, PULSE FOLLOWER, and INDEXING. The DIP switches 3 and 4 are used to help configure the operating modes. Units are shipped with DIP switches 3 and 4 OFF.
Figure 41 Dipswitches/Mode Selection
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
- 51 -
Analog Mode
In the Analog Torque or Velocity mode, the servo amplifier responds to a conventional ±10 volt DC signal. Most variable speed drives and servo amplifiers on the market today receive commands via this type of signal. If the DIP switches are set to enable this mode, the display character of the digital drive will be an (A). In this mode, a ±10 volt command signal is equated to ± velocity or peak torque as determined by the drives preprogrammed velocity (3000 RPM default) or peak torque based on drive size. ±10 = ± peak torque. The external and serial control modes are not ignored if an (A) is on the display. Sending an SC=1 to the drive would disable analog control and enable serial control with an (E) being on the display. If an (A) was on the display and an initiate index home or job from the I/O occurs, then the (A) will be replaced with an (E) and the requested motion occurs. At the end of motion, the display and mode revert to (A).
In either of the two analog modes of operation a (+)/(-) 10 VDC signal is equated to either (CW) or (CCW) maximum programmed velocity in the velocity mode or CW or CCW full peak rating in the torque mode. The mode of operation can be selected via the mode select switches on the front of the servo drive.
NOTE: CW rotation is defined while facing the shaft end of the motor.
Figure 42 Velocity/Torque Mode
- 52 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
In either mode the ±10 VDC command signal is connected to the command input. The input circuit of the drive is a differential input amplifier with the following characteristics. Application of a + voltage to pin 7 with respect to pin 13 (GRD) will produce either a CW motion or torque in the CW direction as viewed from the shaft end of the motor.
Figure 43 Command Input Circuit IMPORTANT: Voltages on pins 6 or 7 must not exceed ±12 VDC with respect to analog
ground.
Figure 44 Command Connector To execute the Analog Mode, the mode select switches must be set correctly for either Analog Velocity or Analog Torque control and apply ±10 volts DC to the command connector on the amplifier.
REMINDER: Both the hardware and software position travel limits are active if they are set
up.

Pulse Mode
In the Pulse mode, the Positioning Drive responds to a serial pulse train representing externally generated incremental position change commands. This mode is commonly used to control DC stepper motors or numeric controlled (CNC) machinery. The PULSE/PULSE or PULSE/DIRECTION operation are provided so that pulse inputs are converted to velocity and distance. The drive can be programmed to allow for pulses per revolution of 200 to 25,000. Once programmed, the total pulses received is converted to the equivalent distance in steps or pulses per revolution and the rate that pulses are received determines velocity. The base number system that the drive uses is binary with a resolution of 4096 per revolution. When using the pulse modes, there is no accumulative error. However, the positional accuracy is based on the lower of ±1 part in 4096 or ±1 of the programming resolution. At very low programming resolution such as 200 pulses per revolution, a dither of 360°/200 or 1.8° is typical. The maximum pulse rate input cannot exceed 204,800 Hz.

Pulse/Pulse and Pulse/Direction Modes
Pulses on the CW pulse line make the motor rotate CW and pulses on the CCW pulse input line make the motor rotate CCW as viewed from the shaft end of the motor.
To set up the pulses per revolution, select the drive parameters screen using PCX and change the default setting of 4000 steps/revolution to your desired configuration. The mode select switches can be set to operate the drive in the pulse/direction mode. In this mode, the CW pulse input line becomes the pulse input and the CCW pulse line becomes the direction input. If there is no current flowing in the direction input, the pulse input line is interpreted as CCW direction.
In either pulse mode, once motion is initiated with these inputs, motion in the opposite directions can not be achieved until motion in the initiated direction has been stopped as a result of stopping the pulses. Attempts to defeat this may cause erroneous and unpredictable operation.
In a pulse train application, the pulse trains are fed into the CW and CCW inputs on the command connector. The inputs are optically isolated and can be used for sinking or sourcing current; this requires two connections per input. In either case (sinking or sourcing), the noise immunity is improved when the normal state of the input does not cause current to flow in the optical coupler. Current should only flow when a motion pulse is applied by the external pulse generator, and each pulse must be at least between 0.5 to 1.5 micro seconds and between +5 and +15 VDC to be accepted as a valid pulse.

Figure 47 Example of Sinking/Sourcing Connections NOTE: Any connections between the customer supplied interface (stepper controller, etc.)
and the command connector should be made through a shielded cable. The shield of this cable should be connected to the customer interface ground (source end). If no shield connection is available at the source end, then the shield connection on the command connector may be used. Keep in mind that this shield connection is connected internally to chassis ground of the drive.
To execute one of the two Pulse Modes, simply select the desired mode of operation on the mode select dip switches and put pulses into the command connector on the amplifier.
Even though the Pulse Mode of operation is being used, the Indexing Operation Mode functions are active. This means the user could feed pulses into the amplifier and then initiate the Indexing Mode functions from the input terminals. The serial control mode also override the Pulse Mode in this same manner.

POSITIONING DRIVE CONFIGURATION AND
PROGRAMMING
INTRODUCTION
NOTE: SEE MANUAL SUPPLEMENT P/N 400221-01 (PCX PROGRAMMING) FOR
PROGRAMMING INFORMATION.
EMERSON EMC’s PCX programming software provides a simple, menu-driven format for question/answer set up and programming of EMERSON EMC Positioning Drives. The minimum requirements to successfully run the PCX software are any IBM PC or compatible PC with 512K bytes of RAM, one floppy disk drive and an RS232 serial interface port. The DOS version required by PCX is 3.0 or greater. PCX allows the user to look at set up data found in the Positioning Drive and make changes if desired. Programming data can be uploaded (from the Positioning Drive to the PC) or downloaded (from the PC to the Positioning Drive).
In addition, PCX allows the user to control or monitor motion functions in the Positioning Drive. All commands sent from the PC by PCX are simple two or three character ASCII letters preceded by a single character axis identifier and followed by data if required. In most cases, PCX is used to set up and program a Positioning Drive or PCM controller from a personal computer. After programming, the PC is disconnected and the user program remains in the Positioning Drive’s non-volatile memory.
PCX provides descriptive question and answer formatting to assist the user. This allows minimum keystrokes to set up, program, monitor, or control, any Positioning Drive function without requiring an extensive user manual or knowledge of programming.
The PCX program also allows the user to edit files previously uploaded for multiple axes Positioning Drive systems at his desk and save them on a disk, without being connected to the Drive. These parameters can be saved under a file name (user’s choice) for later downloading and non-volatile storage into the Positioning Drive.
The PCX software referred to in the manual is 4.5 or greater. Versions with less than 4.5 may not allow for full operation. Contact the factory to obtain the most recent version.
- 57 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
How To Start
The PCX software is supplied on a floppy diskette. The floppy diskette does not include the Disk Operating System (DOS). A backup copy of PCX should be made before starting. To initiate the PCX program, the user should type the letters “PCX” at the operating system prompt in the directory where PCX.EXE is located. Once the program has been loaded, the PCX diskette is no longer required to be in the disk drive. For certain file options, the user should ensure that a path is available to the COMMAND.COM file. This is accomplished by setting the DOS environment variable PATH or including the COMMAND.COM file in the current directory.
PCX Program Revision
Once the PCX program has been loaded and is executing, the initial screen showing the program revision is displayed.
Figure 48 PCX Version 4.10
The PCX program is subject to changes. To assure that files generated with earlier versions of PCX are compatible with the least version, the following procedure should be followed.
1. Using the old PCX, download the file to the positioning drive.
2. Using the new PCX, upload a file from the positioning drive.
The PCX program referred to in this manual is revision 4.10. Revisions with less than 4.10 may not allow for full operation. Contact the factory to obtain the most recent version.
Moving Through The Menus
PCX has a hierarchy system of menus. The top menu is the Main Menu. To proceed into more specific levels, position the cursor on top of the desired option then press the “ENTER” key. There are two methods available to position the cursor. Pressing the first letter of the desired option will cause the cursor to move to that option. Pressing the “UP” and “DOWN” arrow keys will cause the cursor to move accordingly. The user may always back out to the main menu by pressing the “ESC” key. However, the “ESC” key will not cause program termination.
Changing Values In The Data Enter Screens
- 58 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
At the last level of the menu hierarchy, data entry screens are often presented. All data are validated and saved when the “ENTER” key is pressed. If they are out of range, the minimum or maximum acceptable value will be entered where applicable. Other data fields may require the use of the “LEFT” of “RIGHT” arrow keys to scroll through possible options. If data is not “ENTERED”, the previous data will remain unchanged. The “ESC” key will return the user to the previous menu.
USING PCX DISK FILES
PCX provides two types of disk files,
1. Data File
A data file contains all the data in the positioning drive’s memory in a transportable disk file. The upload, edit, create, and make options, all work with data files. Data files are always saved with the file extension of “.PCX” so it is not necessary for the user to specify one. Data files are stored in binary files and should only be edited by PCX.
2. List File
A list file contains the values found in the PCX setup screens in an ASCII character text file. It is created from a data file with Make, in the disk file operations. A list file can be used for printing, word processing, troubleshooting, or as documentation. List files are always saved with the file extension of “.LST” so it is not necessary for the user to specify one.
Files that are created require a user file name to save the data. If possible, it is recommended that files be saved in the current directory. When files need to be recalled, PCX displays a list of files that are found in the current directory. To save to the current directory, simply type in a file name of eight characters or less. The correct file extension will automatically be appended. Files can be saved to any directory of any disk drive by specifying a complete file path.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Main Menu
When a key is pressed while viewing the introductory revision screen, the main menu will appear on the terminal screen.
Figure 49 Main Menu
From the main menu, the user may work directly with a drive or with a disk file. By selecting On-line Operations COM1 or COM2, PCX will automatically attempt serial communications with the drive. By selecting Disk File Operations, the user may setup a data file for a single axis without being hooked to the unit. Necessary values can be saved to a floppy disk for download at a latter time. The serial communications option may be used to manually establish communications with the drive. This option may be helpful at start-up time if communications are not established with the On-line Operations.
On-line Operations
When serial communications have been established with the drive, the On-line Operations menu will be presented on the screen.
Figure 50 On-line Operations

Drive Setup
The setup options logically group together the necessary positioning drive values into data entry screens for editing. Everything necessary to prepare a drive for use can be accomplished in this option.
Upload Data From Drive
When this option is selected, PCX will PCead the values that are stored in the drives memory. Next, PCX will attempt to save the data to a user specified disk file name. When completed, the newly created file may be used for downloading to another drive or in the off line options, editing and printing. Uploading may take a few minutes to complete depending on the system being read from.
Download Data From Drive
When this option is selected, PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.PCX” from the current directory. The user may select, from the list, a file to write to the drive. When selected, all values in the drive will be replaced by those from the file specified. If no files are found in the current directory, no downloading may take place. Downloading may take a few minutes to complete, depending on the system being written to.
Diagnostics
When this option is selected, PCX will monitor and display the status of the drive. This mode is useful when troubleshooting a system.
Shell
A DOS shell provides the user with a way to enter DOS commands without exiting PCX. In order for shell to work properly, the COMMAND.COM file must be accessible by PCX; This may be accomplished by using the DOS PATH or COPY command.
Terminal Mode
In this mode, the computer will operate as a dumb terminal. This means that the computer will send and receive ASCII serial commands. These commands can be used in place of the menus described in ON LINE SELECTION. However, this mode does not contain any help screens or instructions on how to program. The user must be cautious in this mode because whatever is typed is sent to the drive. Incorrect entries could be motion commands and if so, the drive would execute them.
NOTE: Programming should be done entirely with the PCX software or through the dumb
terminal ASCII serial commands – BUT NOT BOTH. If both programming methods are used, there is a chance that not all the parameters entered through the dumb terminal will be transferred to the PCX software. This may lead to unpredictable behavior of the drive.
- 61 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS
The On-line Options in PCX require serial communications between the personal computer and the positioning drive. When selecting On-line Options the first time, PCX will attempt to communicate by transmitting a character and then receiving the echo. When the echo is the same as the character transmitted then communications have been established. PCX tries this procedure with all the possible baud rates. Once PCX has established communications, the program will continue by displaying the On-line Options. This procedure will not be called again unless communications are disrupted at a later time.
The following checklist should be addressed before attempting serial communications.
1. The serial cable must be connected to the personal computer serial port and the drive
serial A port.
2. On a multi-axis system, the serial cables must be connected as shown below.
Figure 51 Serial Cable Setup
3. On a multi-axis system, make sure that the baud rate setting on each drive is the same.
4. On a multi-axis system, make sure that each positioning drive has a unique axis identifier.
5. Power to all positioning drives must be on.

DISK FILE OPERATIONS
When this operation is selected from the Main Menu, the Disk File Operations Menu will be presented on the screen.
Figure 52 Disk File Operation
Edit Existing Data File
PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.PCX” from the current directory. The user may select, from the list, a previously saved data file to be recalled. Editing a file is very similar to the On-line Setup options except it allows the user to change any drive values without being connected to the drive. After editing, the file may be saved, renamed, or left unchanged. Editing may only be done on data files that have previously been uploaded or created.
Create New Data File
PCX will allow the user to create a data file. The user must select the controller model and any optional PCM module for the file that is to be created. Once this has been done, the file may be edited and saved under a user file name for later use.
Make A List From A Data File
PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.PCX” from the current directory. The user may select a data file necessary to produce a list file. PCX will use the same file name but will append the extension “.LST” to the newly created list file. List files are ASCII character text files created from data files (see Using PCX Files).
Print List File
PCX will attempt to list all files that have the extension of “.LST” from the current directory. The user may select a list file to be printed. In order for printing to work properly, the PRINT.COM file must be accessible by PCX; This may be accomplished by using the DOS PATH or COPY command. The printer must also be available and on-line.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Shell
A DOS shell provides the user with a way to enter DOS commands without exiting PCX. In order for shell to work properly, the COMMAND.COM file must be accessible by PCX; This may be accomplished by using the DOS PATH or COPY command.
DRIVE SETUP
When the Setup, Edit, or Create option is selection, the Drive Setup menu will be displayed on the screen.
Figure 53 Drive Setup
From the Drive Setup Menu, there are two areas that need to be setup. The Define Motion menu item is where motion related items are setup. Data entry screens for Jog, Home, Index and programs are programmed here. The second option, Drive Configuration, is where all other drive items are located. The drive setup, Input and Output Functions, Parameters, and Limits, are all programmed from this option.

Figure 55 Drive Configuration
Jog, Index and Home
A drives basic motion functions are programmable by using these data entry screens. When on line with a drive, these options allow motion to be initiated and stopped by pressing the “SPACE BAR”. The bottom section provides helpful information such as the range of possible values, available types, valid units, and any other special instructions. These screens are explained in greater detail in the external operating modes. Additional capabilities are described in the IOM and PCM sections of the manual.
Inputs and Outputs
These two screens are used for assigning the input and output lines to a function. Line numbers correspond to those on the top of the drive and PCM modules. A function with a line number of zero designates that it is unused. Multiple functions can be assigned to a single line; it is common to assign all output faults to one output line. The left window allows the user to quickly determine what functions are assigned. The right window may be scrolled up and down to assign additional functions that are physically unable to fit on a screen. Refer to the input and output interface section for physical location and descriptions. Additional I/O capabilities for the IOM and PCM’s are in those sections.
- 65 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Input Polarity
Input functions that do not affect motion may be assigned as normally off (-, default) or normally on (+). When an input is assigned with “+” polarity, it is active while the input is not on. Input polarity is assigned by pressing the “+” or “-“ key on the input function indicated by the cursor.
Input Filtering
By pressing “ALT-F” on the input screen, PCX will pop-up the filtering data entry screen. Input filtering is a form of digital integration. It is not intended to reduce electrical noise or the effects of electrical noise in industrial environments. It is provided to digitally qualify that an input is on for a pre-determined time. The drive services inputs at a minimum rate of .002 seconds. Therefore, the input or input filtering is always subject to a delay of (.0005 to .0025) seconds. The .0005 delay caused by propagation delay of the hardware and .0025 is the sum of the propagation delay plus the service time. The PCX program will only allow for this time to be entered in increments of .002 as this is the minimum service rate. When “ESC” is pressed, PCX will return to the input setup screen.
Parameters
The Parameters screen allows the user to set up parameters for display purposes. These parameters include position units, distance decimal point, location, velocity units, velocity scale and velocity decimal point location. PCX and displays, such as EMERSON EMC’s T-21 Data Entry Terminal, use these parameters to display familiar user units. Some examples would be: IN/SEC; RPM; STEPS/REV; FT/MIN, etc.
Figure 56 Parameters
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
- 66 -
Actuator Polarity
The default (+) of this feature provides for CW rotation of the actuator for positive (+) motion initiation. For example, a CW JOG input will cause CW rotation of the actuator as viewed from the shaft end of the actuator. To change this relationship, a (-) can be programmed. During the time this change occurs using PCX, the bridge is turned OFF and ON to accomplish a smooth transition.
Velocity Units, Velocity Scale Factor, Velocity Decimal Point Location
To make the display data meaningful, the user must set up a conversion between his units and the units that are used by the drive.
Example: The user has a system that direct couples to a lead screw and would like to program
velocity in IN/MIN and position inches. He has a pitch (5 REV/IN) LEAD SCREW. To determine the VELOCITY SCALE FACTOR he would have to calculate the following:
3000 (MAX MOTOR RPM) = 600 INCHES PER MINUTE
6 (PITCH)
Since in his system 600 IN/MIN = 3000 RPM, the VELOCITY SCALE FACTOR would be set = 600 or 600.0. If inches per second were desired then division by 60 would yield either 10.000 or 10.00. Once these decisions are made, the numeric value, decimal point and velocity units can be programmed. Velocity units would be either IPM (INCHES PER MINUTE) or IPS (INCHES PER SECOND). Any 3 ASCII characters are accepted.
Distance Decimal Point Location, User Steps Per Revolution
The user may also set up a distance conversion because he is working in inches and the drive works in steps. He can use the USER STEPS PER REV to create this conversion.
We have: 1 IN = 5 LEAD SCREW REVS Therefore: 1 IN = 5 MOTOR REVS
Now the user must decide how many steps per user rev. The drive will accept any number in a range of (200 to 25,000). The easiest way to do this is to divide the one inch by the 5 turns to find the number 0.2. This example yields three possible conversions; either 200, 2000 or 20,000. The number must be between 200 and 25,000.
If 2,000 is chosen, then 2,000 X 5 turns = 10,000 counts per inch. This would provide for a program resolution of .0001 inches. If 20,000 is chosen, then 20,000 X 5 turns = 100,000 counts per inch. This would provide for a program resolution of .00001 inches.
- 67 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Once a decision is reached, the value for steps for revolution, decimal point and units can be entered. Low resolutions, less than 1,000, are discouraged as dither is increased. For example, if 200 was selected, 360°/200 = 1.8° of dither. This could be objectionable.
Acell/Decell Shape
This option also allows the user to choose either linear ramps or mod-sine ramps for acceleration or deceleration. The difference is shown below.
Figure 57 Mod-Sine Ramps/Linear Ramps
Torque Output
The torque output controls the amount of available torque. 200% is the drives peak rating. 100% would be the amplifiers continuous rating. Peak torque is only available for short periods. Consult the MFR. Specs for the amplifier in use.
LIMITS
The Limits screen allows the user to set the maximum and minimum operating parameters.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Maximum Velocity
MAXIMUM VELOCITY limits velocity entries to the value entered here.
Minimum Acceleration Rate and Minimum Deceleration Rate
Used to limit the minimum time it takes to accelerate and decelerate the motor and load from zero to 3,000 RPM or vice-versa. This time is greatly affected by load inertia and friction. Those factors should be considered when the time limits are set.
Distance Limit CW and Distance Limit CCW
Used to set the maximum distance that can be programmed in an index.
Position (Travel) Limit CW and Distance Limit CW
Used during absolute positioning applications. The limit positions are given with reference to the home position. Because of this, a home cycle must be executed before these travel limits are enabled.
Travel Limits/Fault Deceleration Rate
Used to set the deceleration rate after any fault occurs, or a travel limit (hardware or software) is tripped.
Stop Deceleration Rate
Used as the deceleration rate for a stop command (Serial or I/O).
Feed Limit Distance
Used for feed sensor index applications. The user can limit the distance that the motor will travel after it has been commanded to look for sensor input. This entry prevents excessive travel if a feed sensor or switch fails.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
INDEXING OPERATION MODE
In most applications the user will use the drive in this mode. The INDEXING mode of operation allows the user to execute up to 32 different indexes (distance or position moves) that can be stored in non-volatile memory. These 32 indexes, plus other motion functions such as Stop, Jog and Home, are easily programmed either by entering the proper ASCII commands or by using the PCX programming software supplied with the drive. The PCX software provides descriptive ‘prompts’ and ‘help’ menus to make programming easy. Programming through ASCII serial commands tends to be more difficult, but is available for the user who wishes to program without the help of the PCX software.
The INDEXING OPERATION MODE is the most commonly used mode and is accessible by having the mode select DIP switches set for either the PULSE/PULSE or PULSE/DIRECTION settings. Both the PULSE FOLLOWER, and INDEXING OPERATION MODES are operational.
The numeric display on the Positioning Drive will indicate an (E) if the external mode is selected. This is also the default mode of operation.
In the INDEXING OPERATION MODE the optically isolated inputs and outputs are the primary source of data to execute motion such as INDEX, JOG, and HOME. With a PCM-1, additional capability in the form of programs is available.

JOG
The JOG function is provided to cause CW or CCW motion of the motor at controlled velocities. Initiation of JOG is usually accomplished by inputs connected to the optically isolated inputs although it can also be initiated through serial control and PCX. A FAST/SLOW input function can be programmed. Inputs can be programmed to have either a CW and CCW control or a JOG and a direction select. The default inputs provide for the CW and CCW inputs and JOG is assumed since the FAST/SLOW input isn’t assigned. In programming JOG, three velocities can be programmed; SERIAL VELOCITY, JOG FAST, and JOG SLOW. The acceleration time and deceleration times are also programmable, but are used for all velocities programmed.

HOME
The drive is equipped with a capability for six different HOME types:
TYPE
0 OFFSET (HOME TO MARK+ OFFSET) 1 FEED ON (HOME TO SENSOR) 2 FEED ON/OFFSET (HOME TO SENSOR THEN MARK+ OFFSET) 3 FEED ON/OFF (HOME TO SENSOR THEN OFF SENSOR) 4 FEED ON/OFF/OFFSET (HOME TO SENSOR THEN OFF SENSOR
THENMARK+ OFFSET)
5 FEED ON/OFF/ON (HOME TO SENSOR THEN OFF SENSOR THEN ON
SENSOR)
Home cycles are used in applications that require a starting (HOME) position to locate tooling, fixtures, carriages, etc. that are required as a prerequisite to initiation of other cycles. Two separate inputs can be programmed to accomplish HOME cycles, HOME SENSOR and HOME INITIATE. The integration of motion relative to these inputs is what determines any specific HOME cycle. Any of the HOME cycles may be set up as you program the HOME function with PCX.
An example of a HOME cycle could be demonstrated with a ball screw or rack and pinion drive that converts rotary motion output into linear motion.
Figure 68 Example of Home Cycle
This particular application would utilize most of the programming features in the HOME setup. In this application, we want to position the carriage to the physical location of the external HOME sensor and then to an offset.
This is a type 4 HOME, FEED ON/OFF/OFFSET (HOME TO SENSOR THEN OFF SENSOR THEN OFFSET).
Notice that an additional feature in programming is the HOME lock ON/OFF. If the HOME lock is ON, then upon powering up, the only request for motion that will be accepted is one for a HOME cycle.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
Assuming the carriage is shown off the HOME sensor and that CCW (-) rotation of the motor causes motion toward the sensor, the following cycle would occur.
Figure 69 Home Sensor Graph

The (C) motion is the -30 RPM to move to the once per revolution offset.
Note that the last two questions in programming are:
1) MARK+ OFFSET--------------------
2) HOME POSITION-------------------
The offset is the amount of user steps within one revolution. The HOME position is the position for reference in programming that you want to assign to HOME. These two values are frequently zero. The 6 home types are explained as follows:

OVERVIEW OF BASIC OPERATION MODES
The Indexing Operation Mode allows for different methods for executing the stored functions:
ASCII Serial Mode PCX Programming Mode Input/Output Mode
Serial Mode
The serial interface provides a capability that basically is an additional control mode beyond the three basic control modes (ANALOG, PULSE and INDEXING).
The Serial Control Mode can also be used to execute or program motion functions. The user can send the execution serial commands from his programming device through the serial interface to the drive. Common types of programming devices are programmable logic controllers (PLCs) equipped with BASIC or ASCII communication modules.
In Serial Control Mode, the numeric display indicates an (E.). This control mode is accessible via the serial connector “A” on the drive and the protocol is based on ASCII characters. To enter the Serial Control Mode, the digital drive must receive an SC=1 string preceded by an axis I.D. character if the appropriate DIP switches are set.
The serial interface is always accessible via serial ASCII commands. The difference, as far as the display is concerned, is that serial commands to initiate motion will be ignored unless the decimal point after the E is on (E.). If the decimal is on, meaning you are under Serial Control Mode, then motion initiation from the I/O is ignored. Stop commands from either serial or I/O are always accepted and additionally, both hardware or software travel limits are going to work if programmed in the (E) or (E.) modes.

Input/Output Interface
OVERVIEW
The Drive is equipped with 8 inputs and 4 outputs which are optically isolated for +10 to +30 vdc operation. Each input and output has 2 screw terminals associated with it to provide for either sinking or sourcing operation. The first 8 pairs of designated terminals are inputs and the last 4 pairs of terminals are outputs. The outputs are capable of sinking or sourcing 200 mA. It is the users responsibility to limit the output current to less than or equal to 200 mA.
These inputs and outputs allow for proper timing and coordination between the drive’s motion and other machine control functions. The inputs and outputs typically are connected to the machine’s programmable logic controller (PLC) or relay logic system. These inputs and outputs are also connected to limit switches, and/or switches and indicators on an operator’s control panel.
A large number of input/output control functions are provided. The functions used are assigned to any of the input/output lines. This is accomplished through either serial interface commands or by using the PCX software provided with the drive. Inputs may be programmed as normally off or normally on. In addition, more than one function may be assigned to the same input line. Each Drive comes from the factory with the inputs and outputs predefined for frequently used I/O configurations.
Using the I/O inputs, specific pre-programmed index functions are addressed by coding the 0-31 index number in binary. Receiving the proper binary code prior to an Index Initiate determines the required index. An output function can be programmed on one of the output lines to indicate when the move is completed. Other functions such as Jog and Home have discrete inputs assigned which, when activated, cause that function to execute. The input lines can be used to execute functions which can be activated by the user through switches, sensors, or possibly, a PLC’s output. This provides an interface between the drive and other parts of a machine or system.

DIAGNOSTICS
A single alphanumeric LED display on the front of the Positioning Drive provides status and fault information immediately available to the user. The display aids in quickly identifying problems so that corrective action can be taken and machine downtime can be minimized. In addition, the standard serial interface includes diagnostic status and fault reporting by simple ASCII serial commands. See the Serial Interface Section under Run Time Command section.
Figure 87 Diagnostic Display
Status Indicator Codes
Following is a list of different status diagnostic indicators.
(.) (Decimal point)
When the decimal point LED is on, this indicates the drive is in Serial Mode. In the Serial Mode, the parallel I/O lines that can initiate motion will not function. All other I/O lines will function.
(Ρ)INDEXING
When the Drive is executing an Index or Dwell after the programmed index, the “P” will be displayed on the status indicator.
- 98 -
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
(H) HOMING
An “H” will appear on the status indicator when the drive is executing the Home function or dwelling in the Home function.
(J) JOGGING
When the Drive is executing the Jog function a “J” will be displayed on the status indicator.
(E) EXTERNAL MODE
The Drive is ready to accept pulses, initiate one of the I/O functions (only if decimal point is OFF) or initiate motion from the Serial Interface (only if decimal point is ON). The “E” will be displayed if you are putting pulses into the unit and the motor is rotating.
(A) ANALOG MODE
When the mode select switches are set to either the Analog, Torque or Velocity Modes, an “A” will appear.
(C) CALIBRATE MODE
When the Drive is in a simulated Calibrate Mode, the “C” will appear on the display.
(U) UNINITILIAZED MEMORY FAULT
This occurs when the non-volatile memory of the Drive changes and no longer matches the stored checksum of the non-volatile memory. The major reason for this “U” fault occurring is due to the fluctuating line voltage out of the range of 96-132 VAC. To clear this fault, reset the Drive and download the saved data on your PCX disk into the Drive.
(L) TRAVEL LIMIT
The “L” fault occurs when you hit either a hardware fault travel limit or a software fault travel limit. You must clear the fault before you can initiate motion by a serial, I/O or reset push button.
