Power Connections
There are a few options for providing power to the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card. For first time system verification,
however, the convenient AC wall adapter power supply and cable set contained in PMD accessory p/n PW-2001-KIT-
01.R will be used. Plug the AC wall adapter into any AC outlet, and connect the power plug to J21 on the card. This
connector is locatable on the card using Figure 1-1 on page 15. Outside of the US & Canada, one of the AC adapter
plugs included with the power supply will be needed depending on the plug type used with your AC service.
In addition to the power supply and connections for the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card, the motor amplifiers also need
to have power provided to them. Consult the technical manual for the amplifiers you are using for more information.
While it is possible for the motor power to be the same as the card power (which is 5V), it is much more likely that
the power provided to the amplifiers will be at a higher voltage, and therefore be provided by a different power supply.
1.10 Applying Power
Once you have made your motion hardware, communication, and power connections, hardware installation is
complete and the card is ready for operation. When power is applied, the card will be in a reset condition. In this
condition, no motor output will be applied. Therefore, the motors should remain stationary. If the motors move or
jump, power down the card and check the amplifier and encoder connections. If anomalous behavior is still observed,
call PMD for assistance. Complete PMD contact information is listed on the last page of this manual.
When using a Prodigy/CME PC/104 card there are some combinations of motor output signal and amplifier type
where undesired motion may occur when the card is powered up. In particular, if the connected amplifier is a
PWM 50/50 amplifier, the motor will receive 100% power because the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card defaults to a
different PWM signal encoding, PWM sign/magnitude, on reset. To avoid this situation, use AmpEnable as an en-
able/disable signal for the amplifier, and set the motor type for each axis before enabling the amplifier. See Chap-
ter
31 for more information on this function.
