System Overview

2.1

General Description

The SMC100CC/PP is a single axis motion controller/driver for DC servo or stepper
motors up to 48 VDC at 1.5 A rms. It provides a very compact and low-cost solution for
driving a variety of Newport and other manufacturers motorized stages from a PC or
from the optional SMC-RC remote control.
Communication with the SMC100CC/PP is achieved via a RS-232-C, or from a USB
port using the external adapter SMC-USB (requires Windows™ operating system). A
Windows™ based software supports all configurations and enables basic motion.
Advanced application programming is simplified by an ASCII command interface and a
set of two letter mnemonic commands.
When used with Newport ESP enhanced positioners, the SMC100CC/PP will detect the
connected product automatically and provides easy configuration using the supplied
Windows-based utility software. This exclusive Newport feature reduces configuration
time and provides the best protection of your equipment from any accidental damages.
Up to 31 controllers can be networked through the internal RS-485 communication link.
This internal multi-drop full-duplex serial link simplifies communication to several
units, without the need for sending "address selection commands". This results in
enhanced multi-axes management with improved program readability and faster
communication compared to alternative systems based on a RS-232-C chain. The
typical execution time for a tell position command is only about 10 ms for the first
controller and only about 16 ms for the other controllers. The SMC100CC/PP also
features advanced "multi-axes" commands such as "Stop all" or "start a motion of all
axes" and performs at a 57600 bauds rate communication speed. Furthermore, for an
efficient process control, the SMC100CC/PP features dedicated digital outputs for "In
Motion" and for "Not referenced".
