Module Overview
The Module overview will permit you to understand the basic functions of the Module and hardware requirements.
The Module, catalog number 1746–HSTP1, is an SLC 500 family compatible device. It can be used with any SLC 500 Processor.
The Module is configured through the SLC 500 backplane and requires no switch settings. Motion can be programmed in either direction for over ±8,000,000 counts of absolute position.
An optional incremental encoder may be used to verify the position reached by the axis. The Module does not automatically close a position loop in engineering units. The feedback hardware can accept frequencies of up to 250 kHz for use as either loop back diagnostics or differential incremental encoder feedback devices.
The Module can be programmed for either incremental or absolute moves, depending on the application.
The Module supports two differential outputs, to suit the type of Stepper Translator used, which provide the following control commands:
•CW or non-directional pulse output
•CCW or direction signal output
Discrete inputs are provided for:
•External Interrupt
•Home Limit Switch
•Home Proximity Input
•CW Travel Limit Switch Input
•CCW Travel Limit Switch Input
•Pulse Train Enable/Disable Input

The Module operates in three different modes: configuration, command, and diagnostic. The three operating modes are summarized below.
The configuration mode is commanded by setting the mode flag (bit 15 in output word 0) to 1. In this mode, the Module is configured through the SLC Processor to perform specific operations that the user desires. The configuration mode defines the basic operation of the Module.

The Module does not operate until it has been |
|

configured at least once. |

Command Mode Operation
Diagnostic Mode
The Module can be configured to:
•Determine which inputs are used.
•Determine the active level of inputs used.
•Set whether just the encoder marker or a prox limit switch and encoder marker combination is used for homing.
•Determine if a quadrature encoder will be used.
•Select whether the Module output is a pulse train with direction command or a CW pulse train and CCW pulse train.
•Select between configuration mode and command mode.
NOTE: Some output combinations are not valid. For example, using feedback diagnostics and quadrature encoder or using a marker pulse and a home limit switch. If any invalid combinations are sent, the configuration error input bit will be set.
All stepper motor operations are performed in command mode. This mode is entered by setting the mode flag (bit 15 in output word 0) to 0.
In command mode, the SLC Processor can issue commands and activate different operations or moves. The actions you can command are:
•Absolute Moves
•Relative Moves
•Hold Moves
•Resume Moves
•Immediate Stop Operations
•Homing Operations
•Jogging Operations
•Blend Moves
•Preset Operations
•Reset Errors
Use the configuration mode to select the diagnostic mode of operation. Once selected, the diagnostic mode allows you to test your program and wiring by connecting the loop back wires at the translator. The purpose of loop back diagnostics is to test the system wiring for electrical noise. The number of pulses received at the feedback should equal the commanded number of pulses at the end of the move. If they are not equal, the system may be experiencing problems due to electrical noise.

Installation and Wiring
This chapter provides information which permits you to properly unpack, install and wire the interfaces between the Module and the various Stepper Translators that can be used with the Module. Also covered are typical input circuitry (direct input and encoder input), and encoder timing information and encoder feedback connections.
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following statements which are general to the system must be read and understood.
ATTENTION
!
This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD static control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, reference A–B publication 8000– 4.5.2, “Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage” or any other applicable ESD protection handbook.
An incorrectly applied or installed Module can result in component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor, incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
Only personnel familiar with the Module and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
1.Install the Module in the designated slot in your SLC controller rack. Refer to your SLC controller user manual.
2.Wire the input and output devices as instructed in the following information.

2-2 Installation and Wiring
Wiring
Refer to the following information on typical interface requirements before beginning this procedure.
ATTENTION
!
The following information is merely a guide for proper installation. The Allen-Bradley Company cannot assume responsibility for the compliance or the noncompliance to any code, national, local or otherwise for the proper installation of this drive or associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.
To meet the installation requirements of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. standard UL 508 for industrial control equipment, follow the guidelines below.
•Use 60/75° C copper wire when wiring the 1746–HSTP1 system.
•Tighten the terminals on the 1746-HSTP1 to 5 lb/in.
•Use Class 1 or Class 2 wiring for the terminals on the 1746– HSTP1 system.
For more information, refer to standard UL 508 or the National Electric Code.
Starting and Stopping the
Module
ATTENTION
!
The Module Enable/Disable control circuitry includes solid-state components. If hazards due to accidental contact with moving machinery or unintentional flow of liquid, gas or solids exist, an additional hardwired stop circuit is required.
Wiring for a Differential Interface
Several manufacturers of Stepper Translators provide differential inputs. If your Stepper Translator can accept differential line driver outputs, follow the interconnection diagram below to connect the Stepper Controller to the translator.

Wiring to Optocoupler Interface
The following diagrams show the circuitry used to interface the Module to a Stepper Translator through two different optocoupler devices. The first diagram shows an optocoupler designed for a common power supply connection. The second diagram shows an individually isolated optocoupler. It is your responsibility to determine which type is used in your specific application, and to ensure that connections are properly made.

Wiring Information for TTL Interface
The following wiring diagram shows the connections between the Module and a Stepper Translator that requires a TTL Interface. The 5-volt supply to the TTL interface can be either internal to the translator itself or a separate power supply selected by the user. This design is probably the most sensitive to noise due to the single ended, high-speed nature of the TTL device. For this reason, it should be used only where the Stepper Translator is close to the Module, that is, no more than five cable feet, in an enclosure that is well shielded from EMI noise when the enclosure doors are closed.

A typical encoder timing diagram is shown below. For actual connections, consult your encoder manufacturer's timing diagram. For all encoder types, if the direction (phasing) of the feedback is backwards, correct this condition by reversing the channel A and channel B connections.
