Software for the synchronization of axes - Kollmorgen

SOCAPEL SA SOFTWARE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF AXES 024.8068.A2. HARDWARE2.1 MICROPROCESSORThe ST1 digital motion controller uses the TMS 320C15 microprocessor manufactured byTexas Instruments. This processor is particularly well adapted for fast numerical handling ofanalog signals.2.2 PROGRAM MEMORYThe ST1 operating software is stored in a non-volatile EPROM memory marked with thefollowing information :- The version number : V0001, V0002 etc.- The check-sum.- The programming date of the component.Each new edition of the software has a separate version number, even when only minorchanges have been implemented. The version number is also stored in the memory as theVSOFT parameter.The program memory is mounted in a socket permitting replacement. To avoid damaging thechip, we recommend the use of an extraction tool (for example : Bernstein 2-601).Figure 2.1 shows the location and positioning of the memory. Also shown is bridge S4, whichhas the following function :- Pins 1 and 2 shorted : Memory size 8 or 16 kbytes (standard).- Pins 2 and 3 shorted : Memory size 32 kbytes (option).Note : All ST1 digital motion controllers shipped before mid-1990 were fitted with TMS32010 microprocessors. All software versions are compatible with both processor types,except those with version number V0500, which require the TMS 320C15. If necessary, theprocessor may be exchanged : please consult your supplier.The software can also be downloaded : refer to the correspon-ding documentation.When the ST1 is fitted with the software-downloading option, the program memory providesfor a boot program.(See § 4.3.)9
