The mobile stage controller/driver is used for driving 2-phase stepper motor. It can drive 4 motors independently at most. You can use its controlling stick to make motors run/stop manually. It also can be controlled by a PC through RS232 interface.
2,Connection
(1) X-DIR:Connect this port to X direction stepper motor of mobile stage using a DB9(female)-DB9(male) cable. Connection/Disconnection only when POWER OFF!
(2) Y-DIR:Connect this port to Y direction stepper motor of mobile stage
using a DB9(female)-DB9(male) cable. Connection/Disconnection Only when POWER OFF!
(3) Z-DIR:Connect this port to Z direction stepper motor of mobile stage using a DB9(female)-DB9(male) cable.Connection/Disconnection only when POWER OFF!
(4) L-DIR:Connect this port to L direction stepper motor of mobile
stage using a DB9(female) - DB9(male) cable.
Connection/Disconnection only when POWER OFF!
(5) RS232:RS232 port, Connecting to RS232 port of PC.
(6) DC18V3A(Power Supply):Using AC adapter in accessory.
3,Programming
(1) The mobile stage controller/driver communicates with PC using interface of RS232;
(3) Method:PC sends 1 byte to the mobile stage controller/driver, then waits for the mobile stage controller/driver sending back a byte of 0Dh(ASCII of Return), until now the PC can send next byte to the mobile stage controller/driver. Repeat former procedure to finish a 4-byte-command.
(4) Send a synchronous command before sending programming command.
The synchronous command is: 55h, 55h, AAh, 55h;
Byte of any value of, but it can not be omitted.
(6) Example 1: Set X axis motor speed value to 280.
Sending ××h (Any value, NO omitted.), waiting 0Dh; Sending ××h (Any value, NO omitted.), waiting 0Dh; Sending ××h (Any value, NO omitted.), waiting 0Dh;
PC receiving 33 bytes from the mobile stage controller/driver:
1st byte:
bit0=0, X reached backward limit position; bit0=1, X not reached backward limit position; bit1=0, X reached forward limit position; bit1=1, X not reached forward limit position;
bit2=0, Y reached backward limit position; bit2=1, Y not reached backward limit position; bit3=0, Y reached forward limit position; bit3=1, Y not reached forward limit position; bit4=0, Z reached backward limit position; bit4=1, Z not reached backward limit position; bit5=0, Z reached forward limit position; bit5=1, Z not reached forward limit position; bit6=0, L reached backward limit position; bit6=1, L not reached backward limit position; bit7=0, L reached forward limit position; bit7=1, L not reached forward limit position;
2nd ~9th byte: X position value in ASCII.
In the example X= 1234567, so it is: 20h,31h,32h,33h,34h,35h,36h,37h;
10th ~17th byte: Y position value in ASCII.
In the example Y=-5789123, so it is: 2Dh,35h,37h,38h,39h,31h,32h,33h;
18th ~25th byte: Z position value in ASCII.
In the example Z= 7654321, so it is: 20h,37h,36h,35h,34h,33h,32h,31h;
26th~33rd byte:L position value in ASCII.
In the example L=-3219876, so it is: 2Dh,33h,32h,31h,39h,38h,37h,36h;
(8) Example 3: Set Y axis motor to go 100 micro steps(1 micro step=1/12800 round).
