1.3 Purchased Part Package

Please check the completeness of the delivery after receiving the shipment:

• Voltage amplifier NPC1USB

• Power supply 24 VDC (Sold Separately – Model: CONEX-PS recommended)

• USB cable

• Quick Start Guide (available on Newport.com)

• .INF Drivers (available on Newport.com)

1.4 Instructions for Using Piezo Electrical Elements and Power Supplies

• Piezoelectric actuators from Newport Corporation are controlled by voltages up to 150V. These values can be quite hazardously. Therefore, please read the installation instructions carefully.Only authorized personal should handle the power supply.

• After transportation, piezoelectric actuators should be allowed to sit for approximately 2 hours to adapt to room temperature before being switched on.

• Piezoelectric actuators are made from ceramic materials with and without metallic casings. The piezo-ceramic is a relatively brittle material. This should be noted when handling piezo electric actuators. All piezo-elements are sensitive to bending or shock forces.

• Due to the piezoelectric effect, piezo-actuators can generate electrical charges by changing the mechanical load or the temperature or by such actions described above.

• Piezoelectric actuators are able to work under high compressive forces. Only actuators with a pre-load can be used under tensile loads (these tensile forces must be less than the pre-load, given in the data sheet).

• Please note that the acceleration of the ceramic material (e.g., caused by a fall, discharging, or high dynamic applications) will occur.After excitation of the actuators by a voltage in the upper control range, the ceramic will move and generate an opposite high voltage after disconnection.

• Heating of the ceramic material will occur during dynamic operation and is caused by structure conditional loss processes. Failure may occur if the temperature exceeds specified values cited below.

• The piezoelectric effect disappears with increasing temperature up to the Curie temperature (usual values approx. 140–250 °C).

• Piezoelectric actuators such as stacks or other devices work electrically as a capacitor. These elements are able to store electrical energy over a long period of time (up to some days) and the stored energy may be dangerous.

• If the actuator remains connected to the drive electronics, it will be unloaded within a second after shutdown and quickly reaches harmless voltage values.

• Piezo-actuators can generate voltages by warming or cooling only (a result of longitudinal change). The discharge potential should not be ignored due to the inner capacitance. This effect is insignificantly at room temperature.

• Piezo-actuators from Newport Corporation are adjusted and glued. Any opening of the unit will cause misalignment or possible malfunction and the guarantee will be voided.

• Please use only original parts from Newport Corporation.

• Please contact Newport Corporation or your local representative, if there are any

problems with your actuator or power supply.

EDH0403En1010 — 07/17 2

4.0 Handling

4.1 Controlling via Interface

The amplifier NPC1USB is controlled via an USB 2.0 interface. Therefore, signal parameters and information about the actuator position or status can be adjusted or settled directly in the computer interface. Furthermore, the system settings of the amplifier unit can also be changed by using the interface. A fully PC controlled piezo system for automation purposes is feasible. Please connect the amplifier system by using the USB interface with your PC.

Please Note: The Piezo Amplifier must be turned off during this process. For using the interface, a simple Terminal-Program can be used. (Please note that the

program “WINDOWS-HyperTerminal” isn’t a part of Microsoft® WINDOWS since WINDOWS–VISTA is launched). By using the USB interface, please install the necessary driver which is supplied on the Newport Corporation website at:

www.newport.com/p/NPC1USB

The supplied VI-driver is used for the integration of the amplifier systems into an existing Lab-View® program or for programming of a new program. As a part of the supplied software package software for controlling of the amplifier units is included or can be downloaded from our web site as well.

5.0 State Diagram

For a safe and consistent operation, the NPC1USB Uses 6 different operation states: Not referenced, Configuration, Homing, Ready, Disable and Moving. In each state, only specific commands are accepted by the NPC1USB. It is important to understand the state diagram below and which commands and actions cause transition between different states. Also, see the TS command for command/state information:

End of Runs encountered in the following state

NOT REFERENCED: No action CONFIGURATION: No action HOMING: Set voltage to zero and then change to NOT

REFRENCED state

MOVING: Abort motion and then change to NOT REFRENCED

state READY: Change to NOT REFERENCED state DISABLE: Change to NOT REFERENCED state

When

the initialization is successful, the controller gets to the NOT REFRENCED state. From the NOT REFRENCED state, the controller can go to the CONFIGURATION state

NPC1USB Voltage Piezo USB Amplifier

with the PW1 command. In CONFIGURATION state, the NPC1USB allows changing all stage configuration parameters like? The PW0 command saves all changes to the controller’s memory and returns the controller back to the NOT REFERENCED state.

To execute any move commands (PA, PR), the controller must be in the READY state. To get from the NOT REFERENCED state to the READY state, the positioned must be homed first with the OR command. During homing (OR command execution), the controller is in HOMING state. If the homing is successful, the controller automatically gets to the READY state. The process for homing, and which signals are looked for during homing, can be defined with the HT command.

5.1 Command Syntax

The NPC1USB is a command driven controller. The general format of a command is a two letter ASCII character preceded and followed by parameters specific to the command:

Command format:

nn

AA

xx

nn Optional or required controller address. AA Command name. xx Optional or required value or “?” to query current value.

Both, upper and lower case characters are accepted. Depending on the command, it can have an optional or required prefix (nn) for the controller address and/or a suffix (xx) value or a “?”.

5.1.1 Blank Spaces

Blanks are allowed and ignored in any position, including within a numerical value. The following two commands are equivalent, but the first example might be confusing and uses more memory:

2PA1.43 6 2PA1.436

5.1.2 Decimal Separator

A dot (“.”) is used as a decimal separator for all numerical values.

5.1.3 Command Terminator

Commands are executed as the command terminator CRLF (carriage-return line-feed, ASCII 13 and ASCII 10) is received. The controller will analyze the received string. If the command is valid and its parameters are in the specified range, it will be executed. Otherwise it will be memorized as an error.

After the execution of the command, all remaining characters in the input string, if any, will be ignored. Therefore, it is not possible to concatenate several commands on a single string from the PC to the NPC1USB.

Each command will properly handlethe memorization of related errors that can be accessed with the TE command. Please refer to the command set in chapter 5.1.5 for details.

5.1.4 Command Execution Time

The NPC1USB controller interprets commands continuously as they are received. The typical execution time for a "tell position command" (nTP?) is about 10 ms. Here,

13 EDH0403En1010 — 07/17

NPC1USB Voltage Piezo USB Amplifier

command execution time means the time from sending the command until receiving the answer.

It is important to note that a move command that may last for several seconds, will not suspend the controller from further command execution. So for an efficient process flow with many move commands, it is recommended to use the PT command (to get time for a relative move), the TS command (to query the controller status) , or the TP command (to get current position) before any further motion command is sent.

5.1.5 Command Set

This chapter describes the supported two-letter ASCII commands used to configure and operate the NPC1USB. The general command format is:

nn

AA

xx

nn Optional or required controller address. AA Command name. xx Optional or required value or “?” to query current value.

Most commands can be used to set a value (in that case the command name is followed by the value “xx”) or to query the current value (in that case the command name is followed by a “?”). When querying a value, the controller responds with the command it received followed by the queried value. For example, a 1VA10 sets the velocity of the controller #1 to 10 units/second. A “1VA?” sends the response “1VA10”.

Not every command can be executed in all states of the NPC1USB and some commands have different meaning in different states. It is therefore important to understand the state diagram of the controller, see chapter 5.0: “State Diagram”.

NOTES:

The error buffer gets updated approx. every 1 ms.

The TS command reads the error buffer and clears the error buffer at the same

time (same as for commands TE, TB). So when launching the TS command, it is

important to process the TS feedback accordingly.

The error “No parameters” is only detected during the booting of the controller.

When read, the error is cleared.

When there are no errors in the error buffer, the color of the LED will change

from red to either green or orange depending on the controller state.

Errors A — Unknown message code or floating point controller address.

B — Controller address not correct. Rel. Commands None. Example 1TS | Get error and state of controller #1.
