CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW This section contains diagrams of the jumpers and switches on the ACR1200 motherboard. Encoder pull-up jumpers must be set correctly based on the types of encoders being used. Failure to set these jumpers correctly may cause damage to the encoders or to the receivers on the controller card.
Motherboard is performed with multiple cards using different ACR1200 card numbers. The following table shows how the switch positions relate to the ACR1200 card number. Note that Switch 4 should be left in the “OFF” position, unless using the Flash Bypass Mode of operation.
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD JUMPERS Jumper Table List The following is a list of the jumper functions on the ACR1200 motherboard: JUMPER JUMPER FUNCTION COM1 RS-422/RS-485 Configuration (Page 18) COM2 RS-422/RS-485 Configuration (Page 18) COM1 and COM2 Autobaud Detect Enable (Page 22)
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD JUMPERS Encoder Pull-up Select Jumpers (JP8, JP9, JP10) The ACR1200 is capable of handling various types of incremental open-collector and line driver encoders. Care must be taken to setup each channel to match the encoder type as described below:...

These two jumpers allow for disabling and enabling of the battery back-up function on the ACR1200 motherboard, along with the Battery Enable Jumpers, JP11 and JP12. When the jumpers are set to “Battery Function Enabled”, user programs on the board are retained when power is removed (and batteries are enabled –...
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD JUMPERS Battery Enable Jumpers (JP11 and JP12) These two jumpers enable or disable the batteries on the ACR1200 Motherboard. A primary 1000mA-Hr Lithium (LI) coin battery is provided on the board (BT1 – User- Replaceable). A 50mA-Hr rechargeable Vanadium-Lithium (VA-LI) battery is also provided as a short-term secondary back-up source (BT2 –...
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD JUMPERS RS-422/485 Configuration Jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP16, JP17, JP18, JP19) The ACR1200 serial communication interface is software configurable. At power-up, the default COM1/COM2 communications mode is RS-232. For ACR1200 boards, reconfiguration of the communications ports to RS-422/RS-485 must be performed via an RS-232 port.

Autobaud Detect Jumper (JP3) This jumper enables or disables the autobaud detect feature of the serial communications channels on the ACR1200 Motherboard. This jumper works in conjunction with the COM1 Startup Mode (P7013) and COM2 Startup Mode (P7029) parameters listed in the User’s Guide under Miscellaneous Parameters P6912-P7029.
These jumpers are used by the factory to select the type of DUART (U54) installed on the ACR1200.

ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD HARDWARE WIRING This section contains diagrams of the connectors on the ACR1200 motherboard. Before optically-isolated digital inputs and outputs can be used, the card must be connected to an external +24V DC power supply. This connection is made at the PWR1 connector and is fused on-board at 2 amps to protect the controller card.
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD HARDWARE WIRING Encoder Inputs (P1) There is one 26-pin connector provided on the ACR1200 for encoder feedback. The 26- pin connector provides up to three (3) axes of encoder feedback (Encoders 0 thru 2). Refer to Figure 1 for connector location.

When using a single-ended encoder (an encoder without the A-, B-, or Z- outputs), additional pull-ups and pull-down resistors must be added externally to the ACR1200 board in order for the ACR1200 to read the encoder signals. Warning: This is not a recommended mode of operation. Noise immunity is significantly reduced.
Analog Input/Output (P2) The analog input/output connections are made through a 25-pin D-style connector on the side of the ACR1200 motion controller. Refer to Figure 1 for connector location. Note: P2 is a 25-pin D-Sub right angle female connector. Definition...

ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD HARDWARE WIRING Digital Inputs / Outputs (P3) There is one 34-pin connector provided on the ACR1200 for digital I/O interface. The 34-pin connector is used for the 16 Digital Inputs and 16 Digital Outputs. Refer to Figure 1 for connector location.
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD HARDWARE WIRING Communications (P5) There is one 34-pin connector provided on the ACR1200 communications board for the 2 serial and 1 parallel communications ports. The two serial ports, COM1 and COM2, can be individually configured as RS-232 or RS-422/485 interfaces. Configuration of the COM ports is software selectable by the user.
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD HARDWARE WIRING Digital I/O Power (PWR1 and P4) PWR1 is the primary connection for the user supplied voltage for the Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs and should be wired to VEXT as shown in the table below. Refer to Figure 1 for connector location.
ACR1200 MOTHERBOARD HARDWARE WIRING Standalone Power (PWR2) PWR2 is the connection on the ACR1200 communications board for the main power supply when the card is used as a stand-alone board. Refer to Figure 1 for connector location. Note: PWR2 is a 4-pin male Weidmuller plug.
