5 Mounting and Dismounting Modules This chapter explains how the DSP module, PG module and SERCOS module are mounted and removed from the slot. 5.1 Mounting 1) Press the red button and hold the lever down as shown in the figure below. 2) Fit the top and bottom edges in the slot then slide the board into place.
Page 36
3) Keep pressing the lever and push it until the module fits into place. When the module is snuggled securely in to the slot, the lever gets locked. Make sure that the module is firmly attached. CAUTION Slowly insert the module without pushing the faceplate, or otherwise cause damage to the board or bend pins.
5.2 Dismounting Loosen the screws located at the positions as shown in the figure below. 1) Release the lock on the lever by pressing the red button then push down the lever. The module will be removed from the slot connector of the motherboard. Be careful not to hurt your fingers with a hook.
Take the steps as described in Section 6.1 and 6.2. CAUTION If the battery is changed while power supply of the PSC7000 controller is disconnected, a backup power supply to the memory buffer will temporarily be disconnected, resulting in the loss of the nonvolatile variables.
Page 40
2) Pull out the battery compartment then remove the battery with a cable connected to the two pole connector. 3) Attach a new battery to the two pole connector. Insert the two pole connector into the square hole until it clicks into place. The connector is designed to protect the battery from reverse insertion.
6.2 DSPM-2A Be sure to use and replace with a FDK or MAXELL battery. The use of any other batteries can affect the performance of the PSC7000 controller. CR2032 (by FDK or MAXELL) Lithium manganese dioxide battery ATTENTION The average battery lasts five years. After 5 years of use, it is recommended to change the battery regardless of the remaining voltage level.
PSC7000 needs to be changed, the applicable operating system can be downloaded from the CF Memory Card. The DSP module of the PSC7000 Control Card has a backup battery, so the user data on the DSP module remains intact when the PSC7000 is turned off. If data loss accidentally occurs on the DSP module, the lost data can be recovered through the use of the CF Memory Card.
Never forcibly pull out the card or expose it to strong physical impact. 7.3 Inserting CF Memory Card Insert the CF Memory Card into the slot of the PSC7000 Control Card until it clicks. Make sure that the CF Memory Card is facing to the left, as shown in Fig.7-2.
Once the download is successfully complete, the PSC7000 controller is reset and restarted. If the OS version of PSC7000 and CF Memory Card is the same, the status indicator will display “PSC7” then the task will automatically be started. The system switch must be set to Autorun (neutral).

Fig.7-3 Download from CF Memory Card to PSC7000 Controller ATTENTION Downloading OS from the CF Memory Card will erase libraries and all the application tasks in the PSC7000 controller.
The PSC terminal is software for programming and maintenance of user tasks of the PSC7000 controller. The PSC terminal is provided on a CD-ROM to be installed into your computer. For information on how to install and operate the PSC terminal, see the operating instructions manual of the PSC terminal.
First, connect the 25-pin connector of the DCS programming cable to the “Port-B” of the power supply card mounted on the rack of the PSC7000 controller. You can connect or remove the DCS programming cable while the PSC7000 controller is powered on. Be aware that disconnection of the DCS programming cable during download can cause data corruption and erratic operation.
9 Connection of PG Module and External Wiring The PG modules (MCIM-1/MCIM-2) take on the role of interface of some signals necessary for controlling the servomotors. For connection, use the terminal block (PS7XW-10080) and cable (MB-D5021) for the PG module respectively. Fig.9-1 Connecting Cable for PG Module ATTENTION Tighten the screw lock after mounting the connector.

In the following table is a list of signals prepared for each shaft of a servomotor. With in each signal category, interfaces for five shafts are configured. CHX indicates CH1 to CH5. Table 9-1 List of PG Module Signals Signals Terminals Descriptions CHX A(12)
9.1 PG Signal Inputs The Phase A, B and Z of the PG signals are transmitted from the PG encoder mounted on the servomotor, respectively. The Phase A and B signals generate a balanced rectangular pulse signal pair having phase difference of 90 degrees, used to detect rotation directions and speed for the shafts of the servomotor.
9.3 Analog Signal Input The analog signal outputs a full scale voltage (command voltage value) within the +/-8V or +/-10V range to inverters that run servomotors. The interface circuit including the terminal block circuit is designed as below. Photocoupler Isolation 47Ω...
9.5 Applicable Wires for PG Module Applicable wire size, fastening screws and fastening torque for terminals are listed in the table below. Select appropriate wires and screw in consideration of temperature rise caused by the type of wires, wiring methods and wiring lengths. Use a cable dedicated for the applicable devices.
When the PG module is mounted on the slot 1 of the PSC7000 Control Card, the common system variable can be used for the channels 1 to 5. When the PG module is mounted on the slot 2, the common system variable can be used for the channels 6 to 11.
10.1.2 Latch Variable Three types of latch variables can be captured by the respective counters. The latches are Z pulse, mark signal, and origin point signal. The signals entered from the input circuit pass through the latch control circuit, and the value of each counter is captured to the latch variables.
The mark latch variable captures a count with the origin point signal or mark signals of other channels. It obtains a latch on a timely basis within the PSC7000 controller without having to be externally connected in parallel when you want to capture counts...
“Normal Open”. In case of pulse tachometer by negative logic output, the Z pulse latch in the PSC7000 controller is captured by the edges of the signals, so the logic can be reversed. This concept is the same as the logic reverse of the mark signal.
2) Origin Point Input Logic Variable (CHn_ORG_POL@) Set True when the origin point detector is the negative logic output (B contact) or the origin point signal input is not used (constantly True). 3) Mark Signal Input Logic Variable (CHn_MARK_POL@) Set True when the mark detector is the negative logic output (B contact) or the negative logic should be internally used.

10.4 Wire-Breaking Detection of PG Module (MCIM-2 Only) The MCIM-2 module of the PG module provides the wire-breaking detecting function which is not supported in the conventional MCIM-1 module. By receiving the differential signals of the Phase A, B & Z outputs by the PG module with the balance circuit, detection of wire breaking is enabled and that helps avoid any problems that may arise.
