5. Copyright 2001 ACS-Tech80 5 SPiiPlus CM - Hardware Overview Digital drives: u Supply voltage: u 24V for the logic section. u Single-phase 110-265VAC or 110-375VDC or three- phase 230VAC. u Current levels: 5A cont./10A peak or 10Acont./20A peak (sine wave amplitude). u Sophisticated current control: separate current loops for the torque-producing and the field-producing current components. u True space vector modulation: increases the linear operation range of the digital drive by more than 15%, achieving higher velocity, lower position error, and reduced current at high velocities.

Copyright 2001 ACS-Tech80 9 SPiiPlus CM – MPU Overview  MPU is Pentium-like x86-based processor in standard PC/104+ format.  4 & 8 axis version provided with 300 MHz processor  On-board RTOS  MPU executes compiled programs in programmable cycle time (0.5, 1, or 2 ms).  Large memory capacities: 8Mb RAM including 1Mb for user programs and 4Mb nonvolatile (flash) memory.

10. Copyright 2001 ACS-Tech80 10 SPii Overview  SPii = Servo Processor, second generation.  Proprietary ASIC designed by ACS-Tech80 specifically for motion control.  Each SPii controls two axes.  Main characteristics: Integrated RISC + all peripherals. Powerful CPU with 120 MHz, 24-bit bus. Very cost effective. Maximum flexibility – customizable real-time control algorithms.

11. Copyright 2001 ACS-Tech80 11 SPii Capabilities (cont.) High Speed Hardware Based Position Event Generator (PEG)  PEG triggers external events via outputs at precise positions with submicrosecond delay.  Provides accuracy of ±1 count at up to 5,000,000 encoder quadrature counts/second.  Application examples: printing, AOI, laser cutting. Hardware Position Registration (MARK)  MARK (also known as Position Capture) provides high- speed and high accuracy position registration capability.  MARK provides the ability to move an axis to a target relative to a registration mark.  Once an axis is moving and MARK is detected, the motion profile can be smoothly modified on-the-fly to reach a new target position.  Application example: Packaging.

12. Copyright 2001 ACS-Tech80 12 SPii Capabilities (cont.) Software Sinusoidal Commutation u Updates at 20kHz - provides very smooth operation. High-Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSSI) u Cost effective way to implement a distributed system and expand I/Os through external modules. Uses include: Laser interferometer interface Absolute feedback (for example, resolver) interface Any sensor with serial/parallel communication u Each SPii has a 2.5 MHz synchronous serial bus with 4 x 16 bit inputs and outputs and a refresh rate of 20kHz. Based on RS-485 design. u SPii communicates with HSSI modules through standard Ethernet cable (maximum length 20 meters). u HSSI is a simple protocol enabling users to build customized expansion modules.
