2.3. Organizational Measures Always keep this user guide available by the A-824. The latest versions of the user guide are available from PI. Add all information given by the manufacturer to the user documentation, for example supplements or Technical Notes.
Carefully unpack the controller, stages, and other components from the shipping packaging. Inspect the contents for signs of damage. If there is any sign of damage or missing parts, contact PI immediately. Keep all packaging materials in case the product needs to be returned.
B = Absolute BiSS-C 4.2. Product Description The A-82x series of high-power motion controllers from PI offers a completely integrated electronics solution, with controller, drives, and power supplies packaged together in a compact 4U, 19-inch rack-mount enclosure. These controllers are designed and optimized to work with the PIglide line of air bearing stages which feature direct drive linear and rotary servo motors and high resolution encoders.

ACS SPiiPlus EC Motion Controller contained inside the A-82x series controller can be upgraded at the factory or in the field to add the following features. Contact a PI sales engineer for details and pricing. Increase the number of axes that can be controlled (up to 64 (note this does not add drive axes).
See Section 16.4 for connector pin assignments. The interlock is typically connected (in series to a +24VDC supply) to an air pressure switch on a PI-supplied A- 80x series air prep kit. In the event of an air pressure loss, the switch will open and the interlock will disable the servo drives.
The protective earth conductor cable cross-section should be ≥0.75 mm (20 AWG or heavier). Page 13 of 28 PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. 16 Albert Street, Auburn, MA 01501 Tel: 508-832-3456 Fax: 508-832-0506 Email: air@pi-usa.us...
Default Scaling: The programming range, in real numbers, is from -100 to +100. Measured across the AOUT0 + pin and AOUT0 - pin, this corresponds to an output voltage of -10VDC to +10VDC.

The A-824 has been configured at the factory to run a specific set of motion stages typically purchased along with the controller. The program Buffer #8 contains PI’s standard homing program. Homing and Initialization must be done after the controller has been turned on or power-cycled before any other motion can be commanded.
Note: The axis will already be enabled if the Homing and Initialization program has been run, as described in Section 13.2. Page 21 of 28 PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. 16 Albert Street, Auburn, MA 01501 Tel: 508-832-3456 Fax: 508-832-0506 Email: air@pi-usa.us...
