Getting Started
The Model 8310CE closed loop Picomotor™ actuator has two cables—the motor cable
terminated with a RJ-22 connector, and the encoder/limitswitch cable terminated in a
high-density DB-15 connector. Because only the patented Picomotor drive waveform
can be used to drive the Picomotor actuator, you must insert the RJ-22 connector into a
Newport
Picomotor controller & driver module (Model 8742 4-channel open loop,
Model 8743-CL 2-channel closed loop), or single-axis Picomotor driver module (Model
8703 TTL/Analog driver). With these recommended drivers you should be able to move
the actuator through a hand terminal (Model 8758), or computer (refer to the driver
manuals for specific motion-control command sets).
If you are using the Model 8743-CL closed loop Picomotor controller & driver module,
connect the high-density DB-15 to the driver’s DB-15 port, and refer to the Model
8743-CL manual for more detailed directions on interfacing with the Model 8310CE.
If you are using a third-party motion controller, refer to the cable pinout to interface
with the controller. (Keep in mind that you will still need to use a Picomotor driver such
as the Model 8742 Picomotor controller & driver module or the Model 8703
TTL/Analog Picomotor driver module). The Model 8310CE is compatible with any
third-party motion controller that can read TTL-level quadrature encoder signals. The
limit sensors are openemitter outputs. When the actuator is centered, these outputs are
pulled low through a transistor that is rated to 20 mA. When the actuator reaches its end
of travel, one of the limit sensors will change to a floating voltage. By using a 10-k
Ω
pull-up resistor to 5 V, you can convert these sensor signals to TTL levels (See diagram
in Cable Pinout).
NOTE
Do not open the motor cover or cut the motor cable. High voltages (up to 120 V,
200 mA) are accessible with the cover removed or the cable cut.
