8 Programmer’s Guide
Getting Started
Use the tutorials in this section to guide you through the
configuration and tuning of your ACR series controller, and to help
you create a project and become familiar with the ACR-View
software.
Application Description
The tutorial leads you through setting up a sample application—a
three-axis system (an X-Y-Z gantry that moves a camera carriage)
controlled by a four-axis, standard ACR9000.
Axis 0—the X axis
Axis 1—the Y axis
Axis 2—the Z axis
Each axis uses a Parker BE341HQ motor powered by an Aries Drive,
and is leadscrew driven with a pitch of 5 rev/inch. In addition, the
application requires inputs 0-5 for hardware limit switches. The X and
Y axes have a maximum of 24 inch of travel; The Z axis has a
maximum of 6 inch of travel.
The I/O is as follows:
Output34 = Camera
Input 0 = X axis Positive Hardware Limit Switch
Input 1 = X axis Negative Hardware Limit Switch
Input 2 = Y axis Positive Hardware Limit Switch
Input 3 = Y axis Negative Hardware Limit Switch
Input 4 = Z axis Positive Hardware Limit Switch
Input 5 = Z axis Negative Hardware Limit Switch
Special Requirement: There is an area designated by a light curtain
connected to input 10, where the gantry cannot move to unless the
camera carriage is retracted (Z-axis at 5 inches). In normal
operations, the camera will not go into that area, but for safety
reasons, the Z-axis must retract if it crosses the light curtain. This is the
sole purpose of the Z-axis.
