For information on ordering these accessory products, please contact your PMD representative.

1.5

Installation Overview

1

Before using the card, the software must be installed. See Section

 

1.7, “Software Installation,” on page

 

14 

for instructions on installing the software.

2

For a normal installation of a Prodigy/CME PC/104 card, you will need to configure the card for the 
specific motor hardware to which it will be connected. See Section

 

1.8, “Preparing the Card for 

Installation,” on page

 

14 for a description of configuring the cards. 

3

Next, connect the system’s motors, encoders, amplifiers, and sensors to operate the motion hardware. 
See Section

 

1.9, “Connection Summary,” on page

 

17 for a description of the available connections and 

options for the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card.

4

See Section

 

5.3, “DC-1000 SSI Option Card,” on page

 

92 if installing the DC-1000.

5

Connect the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card to the host PC via an Ethernet cable and a Serial cable. During 
first time setup Ethernet communications will be used, but during development or standard operation of 
the card you can use any of the available communication options; serial, CANbus, or Ethernet. See 
Section

 

1.9, “Connection Summary,” on page

 

17 for a description of the communications connections 

and options.

6

Once this hardware configuration is complete, the final step to finish the installation is to perform a 
functional test of the finished system. See Section

 

1.11, “First-Time System Verification,” on page

 

21 for 

a description of this procedure.

Once these steps have been accomplished, the installation is complete, and the card is ready for operation.

1.6

Recommended Hardware

To install a Prodigy/CME PC/104 card, the following hardware is recommended.

• Intel (or compatible) processor, Pentium or better, 300 MB of available disk space, 256MB of available 

RAM, and a CD-ROM drive. The supported PC operating systems are Windows XP/Vista.

• One to four pulse and direction, PWM, or analog-input amplifiers. The type of amplifier depends on the 

type of motor being used.

• One to four step, DC brush, or brushless DC motors. 

These motors may or may not provide encoder position feedback signals, depending on the type of 
motor being used. Encoder feedback is a requirement for DC brush and brushless DC motors. For step 
motors, it’s an option. 

• Motion Connectors as required to connect the card to the amplifiers and the motors you have selected. 

IM-1000

Breakout interconnect module provides convenient jack-screw type terminators for the 
left and right 50-pin GP Connectors. Used with Cable-2003-01.R.

IM-600

Breakout interconnect module provides convenient jack-screw type terminators for the 
50-pin Option Connector. Used with Cable-2003-01.R.

Adapt-USB232-01.R

This adapter provides USB to serial conversion. It is useful for connecting to the Prodigy/
CME’s DB-9 serial port from a USB port.
