The ACR1505 is a PC-bus based controller in the ACR family of high- performance motion controllers. As a half-length 32-bit PCI card, the ACR1505 can run up to four servo drives or stepper drives with up to four encoders. The 1505 controller has 16 fixed inputs, 16 fixed outputs, and an additional 16 configurable I/O points.

• Resistor packs RP1 through RP4 Jumpers The ACR1505 can supply +5 VDC or +12 VDC to each encoder. Use Table 2 and Table 3 to determine the correct jumper configurations. For the location of the jumpers, see Figure 14 on page 28.
Table 3 Jumper (JP2) Configuration for Encoder Voltage Resistor Packs The ACR1505 comes with termination resistor packs installed. If using open collector or single ended encoders (not recommended), you must replace the packs. For more information, see “Differential Encoders (Parker Drives and Encoders)”.
Warning! When using pull-up resistor packs (necessary with open collector encoders), the ACR1505 is not able to detect encoder failures. An encoder fault can occur, but the ACR1505 Controller is unable to notify the user. For a wiring schematic, see Figure 1.
Single-Ended Encoders (not recommended) Single-ended encoders (encoders without the A–, B–, or Marker outputs) require specific setup. You can install pull-up resistors on the ACR1505, or you can install resistors external to the card. • Use only the positive (+) side of the differential input signal for the encoder signal connection.

(factory installed) with common, 8-pin, 1 KΩ pull-up resistor packs. Warning! When using pull-up resistor packs (necessary with open collector encoders), the ACR1505 is not able to detect encoder failures. An encoder fault can occur, but the ACR1505 Controller is unable to notify the user. Configuration 1 This configuration provides pull-up resistors on the ACR1505, and external pull-down resistors for the encoder input signals.
3. On the negative ( – ) side of the differential signal, install an external pull-up resistor. • For +5 VDC encoders, install common 1 KΩ, 8-pin pull-up resistor packs.

Inputs and outputs for the drive’s analog connections are located on the I/O connector. ANALOG Note: For an ACR1505 Controller with two servo and two stepper axes, the servo signals are sent across channels zero and one, and the stepper signals are sent across channels two and three.

Environment & Cooling The ACR1505 operates in an ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F). The controller can tolerate atmospheric pollution degree 2— only dry, non-conductive pollution is acceptable. Therefore, it is recommended that the card be mounted in a suitable enclosure.

Do not pull on the cable as you may damage it. • The ACR1505 is a sensitive device. Do not remove the card from its antistatic package until you are ready to install it in the computer.
If motion is clockwise on an axis, send the command DACn GAIN +3276.8 (where n is the axis number).

Check if the commanded torque limit (TLM) is limit set at zero. Undesirable motion DAC GAIN using The ACR1505 hardware inverts the output voltage. Make sure you are using the correct incorrect value setting for your drive. A positive DAC GAIN physically sends out a negative voltage, and a negative DAC GAIN physically sends out a positive voltage.
