Overview

The 1784-PM02AE motion card is a two axis closed-loop servo
module used with the SoftLogix5800 when servo control is required.
The 1784-PM02AE is compatible with 32 bit local PCI bus slots and
supports a ±10V torque or velocity output and 4MHz quadrature
encoder feedback input.

The 2 Axis Servo card is capable of supporting 2 axes sending cyclic
position commands. It is designed to meet ASA System
specifications and conforms to the common presentation format of
communication cards.

Important User Information

Due to the variety of uses for the product described in this
publication, those responsible for the application and use of this
card must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been
taken to assure that each application and use meets all performance
and safety requirements, including all applicable laws, regulation
codes, and standards.

The illustrations, charts, sample programs, and layout examples
shown in this manual are intended solely for purposes of example.
Since there are many variables and requirements associated with
any particular installation, Rockwell Automation does not assume
responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for
actual use based upon the examples shown in this publication.

The publication SGI-1.1, Safety Guidelines for the Application,
Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control (available from
your local Rockwell Automation office), describes some important
differences between solid state equipment and electromechanical
devices that should be taken into consideration when applying
products such as those described in this publication.

Heavy Industrial Environment

The PCI Servo card is intended for use in a heavy industrial
environment and is not to be used in a domestic or office
environment. The card must be installed in a suitable industrial
computer.

Low Voltage Directive

This product is tested to meet Council Directive 73/23/EEC Low
Voltage, by applying the safety requirements of EN 60204 Safety of
machinery - Electrical equipment of machines.

For specific information required by EN 60204, see the appropriate
sections in this publication, as well as the following Allen-Bradley
publications:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1

• Automation Systems Catalog, publication B111

This equipment is classified as open equipment and must be
installed (mounted) in an enclosure during operation as a means of
reducing user exposure to hazards.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION

!

Follow these guidelines when you handle the 2 Axis Servo card:

• Before you handle the card, touch a grounded object to
discharge potential static.

• Wear an approved grounding wrist strap.

Publication 1784-IN005B-EN-P- July 2002

This card is highly sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge may be
present whenever you handle the card. When you
handle the card without any ESD protection you
can cause internal circuit damage that may not be
apparent when you install or initially use the card.

6 PCI 2 Axis Servo Card

• Do not touch the connector or connector pins on the 2 Axis
Servo card.

• If the card is not in use, store it in the anti-static clamshell that
the card was shipped in.

IMPORTANT

Remember, a computer with AC power disconnected
is not a grounded object.
