Theory Of Operation
Power Supply
The power to the head from the rack mount supply is nominally ±28.5 volts DC,
symmetrical about ground. The circuit board in the head regulates its own oper-
ating voltages from the single 30V supply. These on board supplies include a
24V supply for relays, lamps, and solenoids, +15V and -15V for analog cir-
cuitry, and +5V for digital circuitry. The +5V and -15V supplies are switching
supplies.
Data Path
The data bus is a 4-wire uni-directional 9600 baud RS-422 signal between the
AutoCam controller and the head via the power supply. Data is transmitted in
data frames that are sent to and received from the head at 25ms intervals. Within
each frame are command bytes for each servo axis. With RS-422 data, each side
of the data line is the electrical mirror image of each other. Each should look like
a TTL signal. A fault condition is indicated by identical signal phase on both
lines, or one line stuck.
The HS-105P may be used with various Vinten controllers including the HCP-
8000, LCP-8000P and MultiController II. Depending on the controller used, the
HS-105P baud rate is set with jumpers on the circuit board in the head.
Circuit Theory
The circuit board in the head controls the four motors for pan, tilt, zoom and
focus. A block diagram of the board is shown opposite and the HS-105P wiring
diagram can be found on the following page.
The board contains a microprocessor, local power supply regulation, servo cir-
cuits and data interconnections. The board receives data commands from the
controller at a frame rate of 25ms. This fast frame rate supports the highly
responsive behavior of the Autocam system to joystick commands. However,
this rate is too coarse to feed the motors directly since it would cause rough
movement. Therefore, the 25mS interval is linearly interpolated into shorter seg-
ments of a few milliseconds each. After each segment is computed, it is output-
ted as a position demand signal to the appropriate servo channel. Two of the four
servo channels are analog channels with a position demand output (for zoom
and focus), and the other two channels are digital channels with a torque
demand output (for pan and tilt).
