6 QUICKST ART WITH QUICKBASIC This is a quick procedure for hooking up the CLCI2000 Series Computer Board with a Driver and Step Motor. 1. Plug the CLCI2000 Series Computer Indexer into the computer. 2. Conne ct the cable from the computer to the DPI Series Driver Pack (verify that the LED lights up when th e c onnector is plugged in), or alternate[...]

7 CONNECTOR DESCRIPTIONS The CLCI2000 Series Indexer will come with either one or two 37 Pin D-Sub Connectors. For a CLCI2001 and CLCI2002 , t here is only one connector. For a CLCI2003 and CLCI2004 there is a second conn ector that connects to the board via a 37 pin ribbon cable. This second connector will need a port location to screw down to. NO[...]

8 DIRECTION SIGNALS T his output is TTL/C MOS compatible. The source current rating (Voh = 2.7 V) is 12mA. The sink current rating (Vol = 0 .5 V) is 9mA. The Direction signal is +5 VDC for '+' or clockwise motion, and 0VDC for '-' or counterclockwise motion. SOFT LIMIT T his input will cause the motor to ramp down to the base sp[...]

9 ENCODER INPUTS A Rotary Encoder is a device that measures ro tation of a shaft. The encoder can be mounted on the step motor shaft, o r for even greater accuracy, it can be mou nted on the shaft of the load. The encoder sends signals in a format called ' quadrature' to the controller which will take this data and use it to verify the mo[...]

10 PROGR AMMING WITH ANAHEIM AUTOMATION LIBRARIES Anaheim Automa tion has written Libraries that can be used to control the CLCI2000 Series Indexer Board in man y d ifferent languages. These languages include QuickBASIC, VisualBasic, C, and any Window s programming language. There are two different libraries written for the 'BASIC' langua[...]

11 CLCISUB1.B AS LIBRARY The CLCISU B1.BAS Library is for use with QuickBASIC, VisualBasic for DOS, or any other similar 'BASIC' base d p rogramming languages. This Library is set up to run CLCI2000 Series Indexers at any open addresses . The following i s a command list for all the usable Subroutines and Functions in this Library. This i[...]

12 This Function will return the value of the +Hard Limit Switch. If the Limit Switch is ACTIVE or 0VDC, the function wil l return a 1. If the Limit Switch is NOT ACTIVE, the function will return a 0. HOME.CCW ADDRESS, AXIS# T his Subroutine will HOME (sometim es called SLEW) the motor in the counterclockwise direction. The motion begins at Base Sp[...]

13 marker pulse . The marker pulse must be enabled by the LIMIT.CONTROL Command for this Command to wor k properly. ORIGIN.INDEX.CW ADDRESS, AXIS# This Subroutine will move in the CW Direction at base speed until the Encoder Marker is 'active'. When the Encoder Marker is 'active' the motion will stop. This is a good way to &apos[...]

T he last two numbers will specify which home switch will be cho sen HOME.DIR.3 refers to AXIS 3 (also called Axis C), a nd HOME.DIR .4 refers to AXIS 4 (Also refered to as Axis D). Only one home swi[...]

15 SAMPLE #1 (PROGRAM SAMPLE1.BAS ON THE CLCI2000 DISK) This is a sample program written for a single axis. If Input #1 is active, then the motor will move in the clockwise direction 5000 steps. If input #2 is active then the motor will move in the counterclockwise direction 4000 steps. It continues this loop indefinitely. 'PROGRAM FOR QUICKBA[...]

16 SAMPLE #2 (PROGRAM SAMPLE2.BAS ON THE CLCI2000 DISK) This sample shows two different homing routines that can be used to home the motors. The first routine callled Home Type 0, uses two switches - the first switch causes the motor to ramp down to base speed, and the second switch causes the motor to stop. The second routine, Home Type 1, uses on[...]

17 CLCISUBS.CPP PROGR AM FUNCTION DEFINITIONS T he CLCISUBS.CPP Library is for use with C or C++ progr amming languages. It can also be used with other versions o f 'C' or 'C+ +' with little or no modifications to the code. This Library is set up to run CLCI2000 Series Indexers at any o pen address. The following is a command li[...]

18 ONE_AT_MAX_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS) This will go one step at the maximum speed in the CCW Direction. ONE_AT_MAX_CW (ADDRESS, AXIS) This will go one step at the maximum speed in the CW Direction. ORIGIN_INDEX_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS) This will move at base speed until the EZ Channel of the Encoder goes active, and the pulses will stop. ORIGIN_INDEX_CW (ADD[...]

19 SLEW_AT_BASE_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS) This will cause the motor to move at base speed in the CCW direction. SLEW_AT_BASE_CW (ADDRESS, AXIS) This will cause the motor to move at base speed in the CW direction. SOFT_INPUT_CCW (ADDRESS, AXIS) T his will return the value for the -Soft Limit Switch. A 1 will mean that the switch is active, and a 0 will me[...]

20 PROGR AMMING IN WINDOWS USING THE CLCI2000 INDEXER WITH WINDOWS To c ommunicate with the CLCI2000 Indexer, the programming language needs to have access to the computer bus . While running under windows, this bus can be controlled through a Dynamic Link Library, commonly called a DLL. A DL L will allow procedures to be performed that are not par[...]

22 CLCI2004 PROGR AM GENERATOR The CLCI2000 Series Indexers can be easily controlled by using the CLCI2004 Software. This software has been writte n to enable non programmers to easily control the indexer. The CLCI2004 Software has the capabilities to write program s u sing the user-friendly editor. The Software will allow control of all 4 axes of [...]

The Indexer will do al l the appropriate corrections needed when the Finish Move (F) command is executed. The default value f[...]

28 HOMING (0 or 1) There are 2 homing modes, Home Type 0 and Home Type 1. H ome Type 0 uses the Soft Limit Switch, and the Home Limit Switch. When the Soft Limit Switch i s encou ntered, the motor will start ramping down to th e Base Speed. When the Home Limit Switch i s encountered, the motor will stop. H ome Type 1 uses only the Home Limit Switch[...]

29 SET OUTPUTS (5 characters, a space, 5 characters) To select the command Set Outputs, type the Command Key 'O'. This command will set the outputs to the value that is specified. At power up, all outputs are in their open collector (off) state. SET POSITION (-8,388,608 to 8,388,608) To select th e command Set Position, type the Command K[...]

30 ADVANCED PROGRAMMING I n modifying an existing Library, or writing a new software library, It is strongly advised that programmers sh ould use the c urrent libraries for Basic or C, and transfer them to the differ ent languages. The current libraries are 'bug free', so this will help the programmer to produce 'bug-free' code.[...]

34 It is nece ssary to determine the optimum value for the R4 Factor in order to obtain the desired Base Speed and Ma x S peed. Some balance must be reached between the lowest and highest desired speeds to allow for the most accurate s ettings of each. A large factor will produce the smoothest ramping, but will not allow for very high speeds. A low[...]
