Introduction

Epaq MR Hardware Manual

Chapter 1: Introduction
Aerotech’s Epaq MR is a 3U height, 19″ wide, rack-mountable, intelligent drive chassis, that consists of up to eight ultra-compact PWM and Linear network digital drives providing up to eight axes of motion. Each drive provides deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and easy software setup. High performance double precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID and current loops. All system configuration is done using software-settable parameters, including control loop gains and system safety functions.
Communicate with the PC with a standard commercial Ethernet network connection. I/O options are configurable per axis and include a 16 channel digital I/O interface (8 inputs and 8 outputs), one analog input, one analog output, and a single axis Position Synchronized Output (PSO) signal. Other features and options available with the MR drive chassis include: an external joystick connection port, integral encoder resolution multiplication, and integral emergency stop components.
N O T E : The Epaq MR can contain a mix of multiple discrete ML and MP drives. When using the Ensemble software, the drives inside the Epaq MR will appear as if they were individual drives on the network. Motion and I/O commands on axes within the Epaq MR are programmed in the same manner as would be done for discrete units.

1.1.1. System Power Requirements
The following equations can be used to determine total system power requirements. The actual power required from the mains supply will be the combination of actual motor power (work), motor resistance losses, and efficiency losses in the power electronics or power transformer.
For switching amplifier types: An EfficiencyFactor of approximately 90% should be used in the following equations.

Brushless Motor Output Power Rotary Motors Linear Motors Rotary or Linear Motors

Pout [W] = Torque [N·m] Angular velocity[rad/sec] Pout [W] = Force [N] Linear velocity[m/sec] Pout [W] = Bemf [V] I(rms) 3

Ploss = 3 I(rms)^2 R(line-line)/2 Pin = SUM ( Pout + Ploss ) / EfficiencyFactor DC Brush Motor Pout [W] = Torque [N·m] Angular velocity[rad/sec] Ploss = I(rms)^2 R Pin = SUM ( Pout + Ploss ) / EfficiencyFactor
For linear amplifier types: An EfficiencyFactor of approximately 50% should be used in the following equations.

All low voltage connections must be made using cables/wires sized for the maximum currents that will be carried. Insulation on these cables/wires must be rated at 300 V if this wiring can come into contact with wiring operating above 100 V (AC Power Input and Motor wiring). Low voltage wiring should not be bundled with AC and motor wiring to minimize signal disturbances due to EMI interference and coupling.

N O T E : The machine integrator, OEM, or end user is responsible for meeting the final protective grounding requirements of the system.

2.2.1. AC Power Connections

AC input power to the Epaq MR drive chassis is applied to the AC power receptacle that is located on the rear panel. The power cord connected to this receptacle also provides the protective earth ground connection and may serve as a Mains disconnect. The main power switch located on the front panel of the Epaq MR drive chassis also functions as a 10 A breaker (supplementary protection only) for the incoming AC power.

The Epaq MR drive chassis is factory configured for one of four specified input voltages. The factory configured AC input voltages, along with the current requirements for the Epaq MR drive chassis, are listed in Table 2-1.

2.2.2. Minimizing Conducted, Radiated, and System Noise

To reduce electrical noise, observe the following wiring techniques.
1. Use shielded cable to carry the motor current and tie the shield to earth ground.
2. Use a cable with sufficient insulation. This will reduce the capacitive coupling between the leads that, in turn, reduces the current generated in the shield wire.
3. Motor cables must be physically separated from low level cables carrying FireWire, encoder, and I/O signals.
4. User connections to the product must be made using shielded cables with metal D-style connectors and back shells. The shield of the cables must be connected to the metal back shell in order for the product to conform to the radiated emission standards.
5. The Epaq MR is a component designed to be integrated with other electronics. EMC testing must be conducted on the final product configuration.

The Epaq MR can generate conducted (AC line) and radiated noise when configured with MP drives. Minimize conducted emissions by using line filters. A line filter should be located as close to the drive as possible for maximum effectiveness. Aerotech recommends Schaffner FN2080-10-06 (Aerotech P/N: ECZ01449) or Aerotech’s UFM-ST product (refer to Figure 2-3).

2.2.3. I/O and Signal Wiring Requirements

The I/O, communication, and encoder feedback connections are typically very low power connections. In some applications, especially when there are significant wire distances, a larger wire size may be required to reduce the voltage drop that occurs along the wire. This increase may be necessary in order to keep the voltage within a specified range at a remote point.

Low voltage and high voltage wires should be kept physically separated so that they cannot contact one another. This reduces the risk of electric shock and improves system performance.

Insulation rating will need to be rated for the higher voltage if the wiring is in proximity to wiring operating at voltages above 60 V. 3. Larger gauge wire may be required to minimize voltage drop due to voltage (IR) loss in the cable.

2.2.4. Voltage Selection
You can reconfigure the transformers primary windings to support different AC line voltages by changing the Voltage Selection switches that are located on the left side of the chassis. The Voltage Selector can only be used with transformer-derived bus voltages. This Voltage Selector function should not be changed when using off-line supplies.
If you change the Voltage Selector settings, you must also update the AC power label located next to the AC inlet to reflect the new settings.
D A N G E R : Disconnect Mains power before changing the voltage selector settings.

W A R N I N G : The Voltage Selector must be configured to match the AC line voltage. You could damage the unit if the Voltage Selector is set for the incorrect AC line voltage.

For systems ordered with 115VAC (-A) or 230VAC (-B) input voltage:

Brushless motors are commutated electronically by the controller, typically using Hall-effect devices. If you are using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor phasing adjustments are not required and this section may be skipped.
The controller requires that the Back-EMF of each motor phase be aligned with the corresponding Hall-effect signal. To ensure proper alignment, motor, Hall, and encoder connections should be verified using one of the following methods: powered, through the use of a test program; or unpowered using an oscilloscope. Both methods will identify the A, B, and C Hall/motor lead sets and indicate the correct connections to the controller. Refer to Section 2.3.1.1. for powered motor phasing or Section 2.3.1.2. for unpowered motor and feedback phasing.

To determine if the motor is properly phased, connect a voltmeter to the motor leads of an un-powered motor:
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the one of the motor terminals. 2. Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to the other motor terminal. 3. Rotate the motor clockwise by hand.

N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required.
A stepper motor can be run with or without an encoder. If an encoder is not being used, phasing is not necessary. With an encoder, test for proper motor phasing by running a positive motion command.
If there is a positive scaling factor (determined by the CountsPerUnit parameters) and the motor moves in a clockwise direction, as viewed looking at the motor from the front mounting flange, the motor is phased correctly. If the motor moves in a counterclockwise direction, swap the motor leads and re- run the command.
Proper motor phasing is important because the end of travel (EOT) limit inputs are relative to motor rotation.

The encoder interface pin assignment is indicated in Section 2.4.1.

The gain, offset, and phase balance of the analog Sine and Cosine encoder input signals can all be adjusted via controller parameters. Encoder signals should be adjusted using the Feedback Tuning tab of the Digital Scope, which will automatically adjust the encoder parameters for optimum performance.

2.4.1.3. Encoder Phasing
Incorrect encoder polarity will cause the system to fault when enabled or when a move command is issued. Figure 2-17 illustrates the proper encoder phasing for clockwise motor rotation (or positive forcer movement for linear motors). To verify, move the motor by hand in the CW (positive) direction while observing the position of the encoder in the diagnostics display (see Figure 2-18). The Motor Phasing Calculator in the Configuration Manager can be used to determine proper encoder polarity.
For dual loop systems, the velocity feedback encoder is displayed in the diagnostic display (Figure 2-18).

The Hall-effect switch inputs are recommended for AC brushless motor commutation but not absolutely required. The Hall-effect inputs accept 5-24 VDC level signals. Hall states (0,0,0) or (1,1,1) are invalid and will generate a “Hall Fault” axis fault.

2.4.3. Thermistor Input

The thermistor input is used to detect a motor over temperature condition by using a positive temperature coefficient sensor. As the temperature of the sensor increases, so does the resistance. Under normal operating conditions, the resistance of the thermistor is low (i.e., 100 ohms) which will result in a low input signal. As the increasing temperature causes the thermistor’s resistance to increase, the signal will be seen as a logic high triggering an over temperature fault. The nominal trip value of the sensor is 1k Ohm.

2.4.5. End Of Travel Limit Inputs

End of Travel (EOT) limits are used to define the end of physical travel. The EOT limit inputs accept 5-24 VDC level signals. The active state of the EOT limits is software selectable by the EndOfTravelLimitSetup axis parameter (refer to the Ensemble Help file). Limit directions are relative to the encoder polarity in the diagnostics display (refer to Figure 2-23).

Positive motion is stopped by the clockwise (CW) end of travel limit input. Negative motion is stopped by the counterclockwise (CCW) end of travel limit input. The Home Limit switch can be parameter configured for use during the home cycle, however, the CW or CCW EOT limit is typically used instead.

2.5.3. Opto-Isolated Outputs
The digital outputs are optically-isolated and may be connected in sourcing or sinking configurations. The digital outputs are designed to connect to other ground referenced circuits and are not intended to provide high-voltage isolation.
The outputs are software-configurable and must be connected in either all sinking or all sourcing mode. Figure 2-27 and Figure 2-28 illustrate how to connect to an output in current sourcing and current sinking modes.
The opto-isolator’s common connections can be directly connected to the drive’s power supply; however, doing so will effectively defeat the isolation and will reduce noise immunity.
N O T E : Power supply connections must always be made to both the Output Common Plus (OP) and Output Common Minus (OM) pins as shown in Figure 2-27 and Figure 2-28.

N O T E : All outputs on this connector map to output port 1 within the Ensemble software.

Suppression diodes must be installed on outputs driving relays or other inductive devices. This protects the outputs from damage caused by inductive spikes. Suppressor diodes, such as the 1N914, can be installed on all outputs to provide protection. It is important that the diode be installed correctly (normally reversed biased). Refer to Figure 2-28 for an example of a current sinking output with diode suppression and Figure 227 for an example of a current sourcing output with diode suppression.

2.6. Aux Encoder

The auxiliary encoder interface accepts a RS-422 differential quadrature line driver signal. This encoder channel can be used as an input for master/slave operation (handwheel), for dual feedback systems, or as an output to echo the standard encoder signals.

The auxiliary encoder channel can also be used as the PSO output. Configuring the PSO hardware will automatically configure this encoder channel as an output (refer to Section 2.6.1.) and will remove the 180 ohm terminator resistors.

The auxiliary encoder interface does not support analog encoders and thus cannot be used as an input for the -MXU or -MXH option in MP and ML drives.

This connector is installed only if the -IO option has been ordered for the axis.

2.6.1. Position Synchronized Output (PSO)/Laser Firing
The PSO can be programmed to generate an output synchronized to the feedback position and is typically used to fire a laser or sequence an external device. Trigger signals may be derived from a feedback channel or a software trigger. The position synchronized output pulse is generated using high-speed hardware, allowing minimal latency between the trigger condition and the output.
The PSO output is available on the dual-function AUX Marker/PSO signal lines. The auxiliary marker must be configured as an output using the PSOOUTPUT CONTROL command. Refer to the Help File for more information.
An RS-422 line receiver or opto-isolator is recommended, especially when using long cable lengths in noisy environments or when high frequency pulse transmission is required. It is best to locate the line receiver or opto- isolator close to the receiving electronics.

N O T E : The PSO feature is not compatible with the -MXU option. The PSO feature operates with the MXH option and with square wave encoders.

Maintenance

4.1. Power Board Assembly
D A N G E R : Always disconnect the Mains power connection before opening the Epaq MR chassis. Fuses must not be changed with Mains power applied to unit.
The Epaq MR is factory wired for either 100/200 VAC or 115/230 VAC input voltage. The input voltage select switches (S1 and S2) are located on the left side of the Epaq MR power board. Both switches must be set the same, all UP or all DOWN. The UP setting on S1 and S2 configures the Epaq MR for high voltage (200 or 230 V). The DOWN setting is for low voltage (100 or 115 V).

W A R N I N G : Do not change power switches while power is connected.

W A R N I N G : Improper configuration will cause fuses F1-F4 to open.

W A R N I N G : An input power label is affixed to the back of the Epaq MR at the factory. If you change the input voltage, you are responsible for changing the label on the back of the unit.

Epaq MR Hardware Manual

4.2. Preventative Maintenance
The Epaq MR and external wiring should be inspected monthly. Inspections may be required at more frequent intervals, depending on the environment and use of the system. The table below lists the recommended checks that should be made during these inspections.

D A N G E R : Disconnect power to Epaq MR main supply before servicing.

D A N G E R : Disconnect power to avoid shock hazard.

Table 4-2: Preventative Maintenance Check Visually Check chassis for loose or damaged parts / hardware. Note: Internal inspection is not required. Inspect cooling vents. Check for fluids or electrically conductive material exposure. Visually inspect all cables and connections.

Action to be Taken Parts should be repaired as required. If internal damage is suspected, these parts should be checked and repairs made if necessary.
Remove any accumulated material from vents.
Any fluids or electrically conductive material must not be permitted to enter the Epaq MR.
Tighten or re-secure any loose connections. Replace worn or frayed cables. Replace broken connectors.

Cleaning
The Epaq MR chassis can be wiped with a clean, dry, soft cloth. The cloth may be slightly moistened if required with water or isopropyl alcohol to aid in cleaning if necessary. In this case, be careful not to allow moisture to enter the Epaq MR or onto exposed connectors / components. Fluids and sprays are not recommended because of the chance for internal contamination, which may result in electrical shorts and/or corrosion. The electrical power must be disconnected from the Epaq MR while cleaning. Do not allow cleaning substances or other fluids to enter the Epaq MR or to get on to any of the connectors. Avoid cleaning labels to prevent removing the label information.
