Page 7: Safety
According to its design, the A-812 is intended for operating the PIglide line of direct-drive air bearing linear and rotary stages and other stages from PI with servo motors. Do not attempt to connect the A-812 to any other device unless specifically instructed to do so by a PI engineer. -
Page 8: Warnings And Safety Notices
Carefully unpack the controller, stages, and other components from the shipping packaging. Inspect the contents for signs of damage. If there is any sign of damage or missing parts, contact PI immediately. Keep all packaging materials in case the product needs to be returned. -

Page 12: Upgrade Options
ACS SPiiPlus EC Motion Controller contained inside the A-81x series controller can be upgraded at the factory or in the field to add the following features. Contact a PI sales engineer for details and pricing. Increase the number of axes that can be controlled; up to 64 (note this does not add drive axes). -
Page 13: Hardware Interlock
See Section 21.4for connector pin assignments. The interlock is typically connected (in series to a +24VDC supply) to an air pressure switch on a PI-supplied A- 80x series air prep kit. In the event of an air pressure loss, the switch will open and the interlock will disable the servo drives. -

Page 21: Basic Setup
The A-812 has been configured at the factory to run a specific set of motion stages typically purchased along with the controller. The program Buffer #8 contains PI’s standard homing program. Initialization must be done for all axes after the controller has been turned on or power-cycled before any other motion can be commanded. -
Page 22: Simple Motion
Note: The axis will already be enabled if the Homing and Initialization program has been run, as described in Section 18.2. Page 22 of 31 PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. 16 Albert Street, Auburn, MA 01501 Tel: 508-832-3456 Fax: 508-832-0506 Email: air@pi-usa.us... -
