1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on how to use the
SMC100 Controller
graphical user interface (GUI).
1.2 Overview
The SMC100 Controller GUI is a graphical user interface, that allows the user to
interact with the SMC100CC or SMC100PP controller that is connected to stages. The
user can initiate moves, change the state of the controller, adjust parameters, etc
.

1.3 Controller State Diagram
The SMC100 controller is defined by the following state diagram.
End of Runs encountered in the following state:
NOT REFERENCED: No action.
CONFIGURATION: No action.
HOMING: Only check at end of HOMING and then change to NOT
REFERENCED state.
MOVING: Abort motion and then change to NOT REFERENCED state.
READY: Change to NOT REFERENCED state.
DISABLE: Change to NOT REFERENCED state.
Controller’s LED display:
NOT REFERENCED: If everything is OK then SOLID ORANGE.
NOT REFERENCED: If hardware faults or wrong parameters then SOLID RED.
NOT REFERENCED: If end of runs then SLOW BLINK ORANGE.
CONFIGURATION: SLOW BLINK RED.
READY: SOLID GREEN.
DISABLE: SLOW BLINK GREEN.
HOMING: FAST BLINK GREEN.
MOVING: FAST BLINK GREEN.
JOGGING: FAST BLINK GREEN.

1.4 Building the System
Up to 31 controllers can be networked through the internal RS-485 communication
link. The first SMC100 is connected to the RS232 connector (address #1) which is
connected to the computer and the others are linked with the RS485 connectors (address
#2 to address #31).
When the addresses of all controllers are set, you can build your system.
Pull out all cables from all controllers. Set the dip switches of the controller with the
address number 1 as FIRST. Set the dip switches of the other controllers, except one, as
OTHERS, and set the dip switches of one controller as LAST. When you have only two
controllers, one has to be set as FIRST (the one with the address number 1), and the
other one as LAST. See below graphic for illustration.
Connect the SMC100CC/PP configured as FIRST to the RS-232-C port or to the USB
port of your PC. Connect a RS-485 network cable to the RS-485 OUT of the FIRST
controller and to the RS-485 IN of the next controller. Proceed the same with all other
controllers. When done, you can check your system:
• The controller configured as FIRST should have the RS-232-C cable connected to
the computer. It has the address #1.
• All controllers configured as OTHERS should have one RS-485 network cable
connected to the RS-485 IN and another one to the RS-485 OUT.
• The controller connected as LAST should have one RS-485 network cable
connected to the RS-485 IN.
Connect your stages to the SMC100CC/PP’s (MOTOR connector). Connect your
SMC100CC/PP’s to power.
The SMC100CC/PP allows chaining power from one SMC100CC/PP to another one
using the SMC-PSC0.2 cable supplied with the controller. But the total power
consumption of all stages connected to the same power supply should not exceed 80 W.
The maximum power consumption of each Newport stage is listed in the Newport
catalog and on the Newport web site. In case of questions, contact Newport. Once
controllers have been networked the GUI can be used to switch between stages using
the selected stage box.

2.0 Installation
2.1 Install SMC100 Graphical User Interface
Following are steps to install SMC100 GUI:
• For 32 bit, Select and launch “SMC100 Utility Installer Win32.exe”. For 64 bit,
Select and launch “ SMC100 Utility Installer Win64.exe”.
• A window opens up showing Install welcome page.
• Click on “Next”.
• A window opens up allowing destination folder selection. By default it is showing
C:\.
• Click on “Next”.
• Ready to install window opens up. Click “Install”.
• Then installation starts, wait for completion. Click on “Finish” to finalize the
installation.
32 bit installer will be installed “Newport.SMC100.CommandInterface.dll” in GAC_32
folder and 64 bit installer will be installed the dll in GAC_64 folder.
NOTE
LabVIEW user can add reference of command interface dll from GAC during VI
creation.
2.2 Launch GUI
From Windows “START” menu , select “All Programs\Newport\Motion
Control\SMC100\SMC100 Utility”.
