Configuring The Controller - Newport SMC100CC User Manual

SMC100CC & SMC100PP
• The controller configured as FIRST should have the RS-232-C cable connected. It
has the address number 1.
• All controllers configured as OTHERS should have one RS-485 network cable
connected to the RS-485 IN and another one to the RS-485 OUT.
• The controller connected as LAST should have one RS-485 network cable
connected to the RS-485 IN.
Connect your stages to the SMC100CC/PP's (MOTOR connector). Connect your
SMC100CC/PP's to power.
The SMC100CC/PP allows chaining power from one SMC100CC/PP to another one
using the SMC-PSC0.2 cable supplied with the controller. But the total power
consumption of all stages connected to the same power supply should not exceed 80 W.
The maximum power consumption of each Newport stage is listed in the Newport
catalog and on the Newport web site. In case of questions, contact Newport.
An example: The maximum power consumption of a VP-25XA is 48 W. The maximum
power consumption of an LTA-HS is 6 W. So it is possible to connect one VP-25XA
and up to 5 LTA-HS to the same power supply. But it is not possible to connect two
VP-25XA to the same power supply.
When done, your configuration should look as follow:

Configuring the Controller

Start the SMC100 Applet GUI and go to the "Parameters" tab.
When using the SMC100CC/PP with Newport ESP compatible stages (see label on the
stage), press "Download parameters from SmartStage".
Start with the controller address 1. Press "Download parameters from SmartStage".
Select the next available controller address and press "Download parameters from
SmartStage" again. Proceed the same with all other controllers.
When done, your system is configured and ready to use.
Using the SMC100CC/PP with non Newport ESP compatible stages or changing
the default values
When using the SMC100CC/PP with non Newport ESP compatible stages, you need to
enter the stage parameters manually in the Parameters tab. In the "Parameters" page you
can also change the configuration parameters stored in the controller. But it is not
recommended doing this unless you are an experienced user. For further information
about the meaning of the different parameters, please refer to the explanations at the
corresponding two letter commands (see command names in brackets) in section 6.5.
