Intro
Spex uses 2 SM34205D smart motors.
4 where purchased in 2012/12: Model SM34205d, Firmware: 5.0.3.41
1. Grating
2. Rotator
The command are different that the previous SMART Motor Generation
Here is a summary useful Class 5 commands:
Smart motor RS-232 cable is pluged diretly into the PC's serial port.
Spex uses a digi to access the smart motor RS-232 over the network.
See software/digi_ts4 for cabling notes. Use the digi add overhead to
the communicaton, for example and "RPA" can take 0.016 seconds over RS-232,
but take about 0.225 sec on a digi TS4 (I have seen network delay greater that 0.5 sec).
Initialization commands:
For wheels, disables the hardware limits.
EIGN(2) ' Disable Left Limit
EIGN(3) ' Disable Right Limit
Set the Amp limit ( 0 to 1023 ), Velocity and Acceleration/Deceleration.
AMPS=200 VT=20000 ADT=100
Put the motor into POSITION mode
MP
Set Origin or present value.
O=0
Intro
Moving the motor:
MP examples:
Absolute position move to 5000.
PT=50000 G
Relative position move to +5000 steps.
PRT=5000 G
Jog in the positive direction.
MV VT=100000 G
Stopping the motor
Decelerated stop
X
Abruptly Stop
S
Turn Motor Servo off
OFF
Off with free-wheel spin
BRKRLS
Homing
The /home/s2/src/spex/ldog/sm_wheel_home.sms is downloaded to each
spex motor (all wheel). The program was loaded using the SmartMotorInterface
program, which is archive in vendor_info/animatics/.
The smartmotor for spex are wired up up:
Pin IO_inx Function
1 0 Analog output from HE sensor, 0 to 5 v output.
2 1 Comparator +TTL: 0=InHomePosition, 1=Not at home
3 2 Comparator -TTL: not used by the software (no reverse magnet installed).
Use this command to find the home switch (closes to GND on input 0.)
MV VT=20000 ADT=100 G RUN
IO and other setup
EIGN(2) ' Disable Left Limit
EIGN(3) ' Disable Right Limit
EIGN(W,0) ' Set all I/O to be general inputs
a = IN(0) ' reading input 0
a = IN(0) Ra ' input input, report value.
To read analog voltage:
v=INA(A,4) Rv // return AD counts, 0 to 32735 = 0-5v
v=INA(V1,4) Rv // returns millivots, ie 3456 is 3.456 VDC
Other Commands
Report the motor position
RPA
Report the assigned current
RAMPS
Turn the motor off
OFF
Reset errors
ZS
RSP - report sampiling rate and firware version
"12500/5.0.3.41" for spex's 34205D, so 0.000125 or 8000Hz
MISC
Some SM34205D defaults:
KP is 1000
KI is 240
KD is 12000
KL is 32767
