TERMINALS 10-12
The Step Pulse, Direction and +5
VDC inputs form the motion
command interface to the
CN0182.
The motor will move one encoder increment for each step pulse received. The motor moves
in a clockwise rotation if the Direction Input is low at the moment of the step pulse input and
counter-clockwise if the Direction input is high.
The inputs are optically isolated from the rest of the drive circuitry to provide noise
immunity. The high currents, voltages and fast edge times of the motor amplifier generate
considerable electrical noise that would create problems with the indexer logic circuits.
Optical isolation keeps this noise from getting into the indexer.
An indexer or other pulse source generates Step and Direction input to the drive by sinking
the cathodes of the optical isolator LEDs to ground. The ex5 Volts DC used to power
these diodes must be provided by the indexer or pulse source.
The CN0182 uses high-speed opto-isolators that can pass pulse trains up to 1 MHz. It is
necessary that the Step and Direction Inputs have rise and fall times under 50 nano-seconds
to avoid false steps and erratic operation. The opto-isolator driver current sink capability
must be at least 16 mA. This requirement is easily met with standard TTL or 74HC bus
drivers.
IMPORTANT!
Do not run the Command Group wires in a common wiring harness with the Motor
Group wires. Doing so will result in erratic motor behavior because capacitive
coupling of motor waveforms into the Step and Direction input lines would cause
false steps.
If it is necessary to run Command, Encoder or Motor wires longer than 3 feet use shielded
cables. This is particularly important for the Motor wires.
Terminal 10 is the Direction Input. The state of this input is sampled on the rising edge of the
Step Input and determines the direction in which the increment of motion will be taken. If the
Direction Input is a logical “0”, then the step will be in the clockwise direction. If it is a
logical “1”, (+5 VDC or open), then the step will be taken in the counter-clockwise direction
Terminal 11 is the Step Input. A rising edge (0 to +5 VDC) on this input will result in one
increment of motion. The size of this increment is determined by the encoder resolution; a
500 line encoder will yield 0.18 degrees of motion (360
°
/ 500x4 = 0.18
°
). The direction of
