The Advantech PCI-1220U offers the following main features: Individual Control for 2 Axes Each of the axes has identical capabilities, and is controlled by the same method of operation with constant speed, trapezoidal or S-curve driving. Programmable T/S-curve Acceleration and Deceleration Each of four axes can be preset individually with S-curve or trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration rates.
Page 10
Interrupt signals can be generated when: (1) the start/finish of a constant speed drive during the trapezoidal driving, (2) the end of driving, and (3) the compare result higher/lower the border-lines of the position counter. An interrupt signal can be also generated during the interpolation driving. PCI-1220U User Manual...

Signal Connections This chapter provides useful informa- tion about how to connect input and output signals to the PCI-1220U via the I/O connector.
BoardID setting is useful for identifying each card’s device number. We set the BoardID switch of PCI-1220U to 0 at the factory. If you need to adjust it to another number, set SW1 by referring to Table 3.3.

3.3 Output Pulse Definition The output pulse command of PCI-1220U is from MCX312 chip. The pulse command has two types. One is in Up/Down mode and another is in Pulse/Direction mode. While nP+P is differential from nP+N and nP-P is differential from nP-N. After system reset, the nP+P and nP-P is low level, and this invert output (nP+N, nP-N) is high level, and the de-fault setting of pulse output mode is Up/Down.

3.4 General Purposed Output The general purposed output nOUT3/DSND, nOUT2/ASND, nOUT1/ CMPM, and nOUT0/CMPP are from MCX312, and each output signal is OFF status after system reset. Figure 3.6: General Purpose Output General purposed output signals used in motor drives can clear error counter, alarm reset, stimulus off, etc., or select acceleration/deceleration for driving, position counter, and the status of comparison register as your output during driving.

3.6 Deceleration/Instantaneous Stop Switch Input Note: When the axis/axes is/are about to stop (in the decelera- tion stage), the axis/axes will not stop totally but keep moving at a very low speed if you use S-curve accelera- tion/deceleration to control speed under the “Point to Point”...
When servo drives have an abnormal condition, they active this signal to note PCI-1220U to stop output pulses. When enable the nALARM func- tion of PCI-1220U, the D14 bit of RR2 will set to 1 after nALARM active. If PCI-1220U is driving pulses output, the output pulses will stop immediately when nALARM active.
Figure 3.11: Circuit Diagram of Encoder Feedback From the circuit diagram above, PCI-1220U uses high speed photo cou- pler for isolation. The encoder output can be differential mode or open- collector mode. When n***P is high and n***N is low, the real feedback signal (n***) to MCX312 is low.

(nEXOP+, nEXOP-). There are two output pulse mode for the external control pin. One is fixed pulse out- put mode, and the other is continuous output mode. In PCI-1220U, it pro- vides Jog and Hand wheel functions that allow you driving motors through external Hand wheel or Jog equipment.
3.11 External Power Input (VEX) External power is necessary for all input signals of each axis. Please apply DC12~24V voltage as your need. Current consumption of each point for input signal is DC12V = 3.3 mA, DC24V = 7 mA. PCI-1220U User Manual...
When the interrupt occurs from MCX312, the interrupt signal of MCX312 will be changed from high to low. Because the PCI bus inter- rupt is high level sensitive, the PCI-1220U inverse the signal and latch the signal to adapt the PCI bus INTA. The Fig- 3.17 shows the interrupt structure of the PCI-1220U.
Which will be controlled by setting D8, D9 of WR3 in MCX312. And, read the RR4,5 to know the status of XEZ+/-. The following figure is an example of PCI-1220U connected to UPK step drive manufactured by ORIENTAL company. PCI-1220U User Manual...

3.14 Field Wiring Considerations When you use the PCI-1220U to acquire data from outside, noises in the environment might significantly affect the accuracy of your measure- ments if due cautions are not taken. The following measures will be helpful to reduce possible interference running signal wires between sig- nal sources and the PCI-1220U.
