5 Configuring and wiring the motion control board
5.1 Installation, commissioning and replacement
If the module is recommissioned or replaced, various system data must be saved from the system.dat
system file to the motion control board. This is done using the mcfg.exe utility programmed in the [Save
Changes] menu. If the saved information is not conform with the information saved in the system.dat system
file, the cef flag is set.
5.2 Environment
The xPCI-800x board was specifically designed for industrial use. All inputs are available in potential-free
form. The output signals are electronically isolated from the logic supply and have a shared earth reference
potential. This means that incidents from the peripheral electronics are almost completely suppressed.
As the xPCI-800x board is fitted with a microprocessor module, you should avoid installing it in an
environment subject to severe electromagnetic interference. Otherwise, this could lead to an uncontrolled
process behaviour by the microcontroller. In this case, you must expect the watchdog logic of the xPCI-800x
module to be triggered and cause a hardware reset.
Hardware interfaces, connection assignments
Depending on the level of completion, the peripheral electronics are connected to the APCI-8001 /
APCI-8008 via a 50-pin SUB-D connector (X1). For rapid and simple wiring, an ST8001 connection cable and
PX8000 screw terminal board can also be used optionally.
