3.13 Simultaneously Start/Stop Signals STA and STP
The PCI-8174 provides STA and STP signals, which enable simul-
taneous start/stop of motions on multiple axes. The STA and STP
signals are on *CN2
The diagram below shows the onboard circuit. The STA and STP
signals of the four axes are tied together respectively.
The STP and STA signals are both input and output signals. To
operate the start and stop action simultaneously, both software
control and external control are needed. With software control, the
signals can be generated from any one of the PCI-8174. An exter-
nal open collector or switch can be used to drive the STA/STP sig-
nals for simultaneous start/stop.
If there are two or more PCI-8174 cards, connect the *CN2 con-
nector on the previous card to *CN2 connector on the following
card.
