5.2.1 Using C-843 Motor Controllers with M-5x1
Stages
The C-843 is an add-on card to be installed in a PCI slot of a
PC; 2- and 4-axis versions are available, and more than one
card can be installed in the same PC. PWM and analog stages
can be run off the same card without using a converter box.
See the C-843 user and software manuals for information on
this controller and its software interfaces. Suitable control
settings are provided in the controller software.
5.2.2 Using C-848 Motor Controllers with M-5x1
Stages
The C-848 is a benchtop/rackmount unit. It is actually an
industrial PC with C-842 cards installed. See the C-842 section
below and the C-848 manuals for more information. Settings
suitable for the M-5x1 are included in the stage database
integrated with the C-848Control software.
5.2.3 Using C-842 Motor Controllers with M-5x1
Stages
If stages are equipped with the motor-brake option (M-5x1.DDB
or M-5x1.PDB) C-842.xx controllers should be used. These
controllers offer the appropriate signals for motor brakes,
controllable via the digital output channels #7 and #8.
WinMove and WinMoveNT are the standard operating
programs for C-842 Motor Controllers being operated from
Windows platforms. WinMove allows configuration of the M-5x1
stages by a configuration file.
WinMove software automatically handles amplifier mode setting
as a function of the stage model number selected.
The amplifier mode can also be set by command: PWM mode
is enabled by the "SOP" command while analog mode is
enabled by the "SOH" command.
