Figure 3-2. Connecting a single Limit or Home Switch to an Isolated Supply.
This diagram only shows the connection for the forward limit switch of the X axis.
NOTE: As stated in Chapter 2, the wiring is simplified when using the ICM-1900 or AMP-19X0 interface board.
This board accepts the signals from the ribbon cables of the DMC-1700/1800 and provides phoenix-type screw
terminals. A picture of the ICM-1900 can be seen in Chapter 2. If an ICM-1900 is not used, an equivalent breakout
board will be required to connect signals from the DMC-1700/1800.
Bypassing the Opto-Isolation:
If no isolation is needed, the internal 5 Volt supply may be used to power the switches. This can be done by
connecting a jumper between the pins LSCOM or INCOM and 5V, labeled JP3. These jumpers can be added on
either the ICM-1900 (J52) or the DMC-1700/1800. This can also be done by connecting wires between the 5V
supply and common signals using the screw terminals on the ICM-1900 or AMP-19X0.
To close the circuit, wire the desired input to any ground (GND) terminal or pin out.
Analog Inputs
The DMC-1700/1800 has eight analog inputs configured for the range between -10V and 10V. The inputs are
decoded by a 12-bit A/D decoder giving a voltage resolution of approximately .005V. A 16-bit ADC is available as
an option. The impedence of these inputs is 10 KΩ. The analog inputs are specified as AN[x] where x is a number
1 thru 8.
Amplifier Interface
The DMC-1700/1800 analog command voltage, MOCMD, ranges between +/-10V. This signal, along with GND,
provides the input to the power amplifiers. The power amplifiers must be sized to drive the motors and load. For
best performance, the amplifiers should be configured for a current mode of operation with no additional
compensation. The gain should be set such that a 10 Volt input results in the maximum required current.
The DMC-1700/1800 also provides an amplifier enable signal, AEN. This signal changes under the following
conditions: the watchdog timer activates, the motor-off command, MO, is given, or the OE1command (Enable Off-
On-Error) is given and the position error exceeds the error limit. As shown in Figure 3-3, AEN can be used to
disable the amplifier for these conditions.
The standard configuration of the AEN signal is TTL active high. In other words, the AEN signal will be high when
the controller expects the amplifier to be enabled. The polarity and the amplitude can be changed if you are using
