DC-Motor Controller Setup

4 DC-Motor Controller

Setup

Individual setting of servo-control parameters is required for

smooth and optimized movement of the DC-motor versions.

Incorrect parameter settings may cause severe vibration. If this

occurs, set the motor to OFF and modify the parameter

settings.

4.1 Using C-842 Motor Controllers with

M-116.DG Stages

The C-842 is an add-on card which is installed in an ISA slot of

a PC. Two-axis and 4-axis versions are available, and multiple

cards can be installed in the same PC. DLL, COM Server and

LabView™ software interfaces are provided, as well as a

graphical user interface,

WinMove, in versions for Windows9x

and NT, 2000 and

XP.

WinMove allows configuration of the M-116 stages from a

configuration file.

Note that it is not possible to operate PWM devices on the

same C-842 card as a (non-PWM) M-116.DG unless you use

the C-842.AP1 PWM converter box.

Recommended initial settings with the C-842 are as

follows:

p –term (DP) 300

i –term (DI) 65

d –term (DD) 100

Velocity (SV) 16 °/s

Acceleration (SA) 70 °/s²

NOTE

The gear ratio is 29.6:1; See the C-842 Controller User

Manual (MS 45E) for more details.

4.2 Using C-843 Motor Controllers with

M-116.DG 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.
