The ASB4 is the successor of the very successful ASB. Where the ASB was limited to control 2 servos in turn, the ASB4 is developed for 4 servos which can be controlled simultaneously. Also the way of programming is improved and simplified.
The functionality of ASB4 The ASB4 works on the basis of a PIC interface provided with a code that allows it to function. In order for the board to work properly, the supply voltage on the board is reduced to 5VDC with which the PIC can control the servos and the relay.
ASB4 manual │ version 1 - 2022 Mounting The ASB4 has 4 mounting points. We recommend using our mounting frame for mounting. Mounting the ASB4 upside down or sideways is also possible if you take the cooling of the cooling element into account.
ASB4 manual │ version 1 - 2022 Servo The servo is equipped with a number of arms. Choose the arm you want to use and mount it on the servo. Make sure you use the small screw to attach the arm to the shaft of the servo.
On the two-pole terminal of the ASB4, you can provide the direct voltage as shown in Figure 1. The polarity is not important here due to the rectifier. If you have connected the polarity correctly, the green POWER LED lights up.
ASB4 manual │ version 1 - 2022 Relay Each servo has a relay that switches to the centre position of the servo. Each relay has two change-over contacts as shown in Figure 1. This means that each contact consists of a Common (COM), Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO).
Setting the servos The tuning of the servos on the ASB4 has been greatly improved over its predecessor, the ASB. You can now select the servo you want to program, you can skip steps if necessary and you can see which step you are working on by means of the LEDs.
A and B will result in the servo not working properly. The centre position of the servo is very important for the ASB4 because the left and right deflection is measured with the centre position. If this position is not programmed between the two strokes, the servo will go into a "loop" where it travels a path and then returns to the beginning and repeats this.
I hope this manual will help you connect the ASB4. If you have any comments, please let me know. I will then be able to include them in a new version. You can report them by sending an email to info@domburgtrainsupport.nl.
