Elements You Need
Before you start, you must get all the necessary system elements. These include:
1. DMC-1610, 1620, 1630, or DMC-1640 Motion Controller, (1) 100-pin cable, and (1)
ICM-1900 interconnect module.
2. Servo motors with Optical Encoder (one per axis) or step motors.
3. Power
Amplifiers.
4. Power Supply for Amplifiers.
5. PC (Personal Computer - ISA bus).
6. Utilities Disk for DMC-1600 which contains Plug and Play drivers, and
communication utilities.
7.
WSDK-16 or WSDK-32 is optional but recommend for first time users.
The motors may be servo (brush type or brushless) or steppers. The amplifiers should be suitable
for the motor and may be linear or pulse-width-modulated. An amplifier may have current
feedback, voltage feedback or velocity feedback.
For servo motors in current mode, the amplifiers should accept an analog signal in the +/-10 Volt range
as a command. The amplifier gain should be set so that a +10V command will generate the maximum
required current. For example, if the motor peak current is 10A, the amplifier gain should be 1 A/V.
For velocity mode amplifiers, a command signal of 10 Volts should run the motor at the maximum
required speed. Set the velocity gain so that an input signal of 10V, runs the motor at the maximum
required speed.
For step motors, the amplifiers should accept step and direction signals. For start-up of a step motor
system refer to “Connecting Step Motors” on page 20.
The WSDK software is highly recommended for first time users of the DMC-1600. It provides
step-by-step instructions for system connection, tuning and analysis.
