Start-Up Manual Drive Options The XPS controller is capable of driving up to 8 axes of most Newport positioners using driver cards that slide through the back of the chassis. These factory-tested drives are powered by an internal 750 W power supply, which is independent of the controller power supply.
XPS-D Controller Start-Up Manual Split power entry version The XPS controller can be provided with two separated AC entries. In this case, one is dedicated to controller logic supply and another one is providing motor drive supply. It allows user to turn off the driver power (for safety reason for instance) without losing control on encoder position, limit switches, etc…)
Axis Connectors (AXIS 1 – AXIS 8) Each installed axis driver card features a connector to attach a cable (supplied with every Newport stage) between the controller and a motion device. Figure 9: Axis driver card. Please see the next section for installation instructions.
XPS-D Controller Start-Up Manual Ethernet Configuration Figure 10: Ethernet configuration. 2.7.1 Communication Protocols The Ethernet connection provides a local area network through which information is transferred in units known as packets.
