Ac Option Bracket Electronics - Philips CARDIOMD Service Manual

Line Source Compartment Drive
On the inside of the bottom of the AC option bracket four slide bearings are mounted. These run
on two rails mounted on the bottom plate of the line source compartment (see Figure 12.9), thus
allowing the line source compartment to be translated in and out.

The AC option bracket motor is a 24 V DC motor used to translate the line source compartment in
and out. The torque from the motor is transferred via the gear assembly to the gear wheel which
engages a toothbar in the line source compartment.

12.3.3.2 AC Option Bracket Electronics

The AC bracket enclosure contains a printed circuit board carrying:
•
The box motion controller, i.e. the device controlling the movement of the line source
compartment
•
Two DC-DC power converters providing the necessary supply voltages for the AC Option.
Box Motion Controller
Function
The box motion controller is based on a small flash-programmable micro-processor and a motor
driver. The capabilities of the motion controller are as follows:
1. Move line source compartment fully IN (park position)
2. Move line source compartment fully OUT (scan position)
3. Move line source compartment to mid position.
Both end positions and the mid position are sensed by micro switches (see Figure 12.11). When
the line source is in the desired position, the motor is stopped.
