1.1 Brief description

The OPMF options print is used to extend the APCI-8001 / APCI-8008 positioning and contouring control
system. Essentially, it comprises the additional logic for controlling up to five further servo or stepper motor
axes. The device electronics are fully compatible with those of the APCI-8001 / APCI-8008 motherboard.
In addition, the OPMF can also process up to 8 analog input signals with a 12-bit (APCI-8001) or 16-bit
(APCI-8008) resolution. This section describes the technical software and hardware characteristics of the
OPMF.

1.2 Software

The OPMF can be planned and programmed using the standard TOOLSET software for the
APCI-8001 / APCI-8008 (as of software revision V2.5.0). The corresponding additional functions are
described in the following sections, in addition to the description in the programming and referencing manual
[PM] for the APCI-8001 / APCI-8008.
1.2.1

Modified rwmos.elf operating system software

Specific rwmos.elf operating system software is required in some cases so that the additional functions of
the OPMF can be used. The information in the following section must be noted when rigging to a four (five,
six, seven or eight) axis system. In this case, the additional functions for axis channels 4 – 8 are used in the
same manner as for the standard three-axis system.
However, if only individual function modules are available on the OPMF (partial component mounting), these
function modules are accessed with the help of the SAP programming method. A series of new system
parameters are defined for this in rw_SymPas. The example programmes included in the scope of delivery
represent the simple access to this access method.
