  • Page 12: Description

    This manual provides operating instructions for the ESP302-GPIB-ADPT that you have purchased. ESP302-GPIB-ADPT The ESP302-GPIB-ADPT is a "GPIB to Serial Adaptor" especially dedicated to connecting Newport ESP302 Motion Controller (equipped with a serial port) to a GPIB bus for users who want to drive it with an IEEE 488 interface.
  • Page 13: Protection Of Configuration Parameters

    GPIB port configuration only (see §3.5) The ESP302-GPIB-ADPT powers up in the Data mode and switches to the Command mode when sent a GPIB Device Trigger (488.1 GET) command. Once in the Command mode, the unit will accept configuration parameters, respond to queries, and save new configuration settings but not transfer serial data.
  • Page 14: Serial Interface

    USER's MANUAL A1387A0-EDH0429En1010 11/21 2.5 Serial Interface The ESP302-GPIB-ADPT provides RS-232 signals on a rear panel DE-9P male connector. The choice of serial signals is selected by internal jumpers and factory settings. Signal pinouts are listed in Table 2.5.1 Baud Rate Baud rate 19200 baud.

    As mentioned above, ESP302 messages terminate by CR+CR+LF instead of CR+LF. • ESP301 "SA" command should be replaced by the previously described procedure to set the GPIB address. Basically, the GPIB address is set in the ESP302-GPIB-ADPT and not in the ESP302. •...
  • Page 24: Maintenance

    5 Maintenance 5.1 Maintenance The ESP302-GPIB-ADPT does not require periodic calibration and has no internal adjustments. However, if it is used in an application where the IEEE-488 bus cables are frequently changed, the ESP302-GPIB-ADPT's IEEE-488 Bus Connector may occasionally require cleaning to remove wax and dirt buildup.
  • Page 25: Appendix

    6 Appendix 6.1 Self-Test Error Codes At power turn on, the ESP302-GPIB-ADPT conducts a self-test of its major components. A successful test ends when the RDY LED on. Test failures are indicated by the LED patterns shown in Table below. Typically, the failure is a pattern of blinking LEDs which lasts for 5 seconds. If the ESP302- GPIB-ADPT does not have a fatal error, the self-test will continue until it is complete but the RDY LED will remain off.
