Motion Base Electronics
To go with our motion base software, we now have a range of printed
circuit boards. They are specifically designed to match the configuration
of Motion Drive 3.0 and connect to the USB modules that are part
of the Motion Drive package.
Now bringing your motion base project to life has just become alot
easier!!

Digital to Analogue
Converter Board
(DAC)
|
This board converts the digital signals from Motion Drive, or any
other 8-bit digital source into analogue signals for use by a motor
control board or other drive controller. The board comes complete
with connector so is ready to use!
Technical Specification
|
Dual mode Digital to Analogue Converter |
| Input Required |
8 bit binary word, control signal (both TTL),
plus power source (+5v and Gnd) |
| Output |
Unipolar mode
nominal 0v to +5v, maximum 0v to +10v
Bipolar mode
nominal -2.5v to +2.5v, maximum -5v to+5v |
| Connections |
IDC 10-way header for 8-bit binary word and power. Rising
clamp screw terminal for output and control signal |
| Size |
Approx 90mm x 45mm |
How many do I need?
The number you need for your project depends on the motion platform
you are building. If you are using Motion Drive 3.0 as your software
the following table will help:

Intermediate Board
|
This board makes connecting up some of
your platform electronics really easy. Using this you can connect
all the components that connect with USB module #2 in the Motion Drive
package - Drive Control pins, Drive Reverse pins and all your platform
sensors. On the output side are connections through for the control
signal for our DAC board, switched medium voltage reversing signals
and connections for an ignition circuit and "Ignition On"
LED. LEDs are also on board for reversing signals and sensors.
| Technical Specification |
|
| Input Capability |
12 inputs for platform sensors (4 per axis).
8 TTL inputs from USB module for DAC control signals and drive
reverse signals.
External DC power source for up to 4 reverse relays (activated
by reverse pins) and Ignition circuit and LED.
Gnd and +5V from USB module (3 off).
Gnd and +V inputs from up to 3 DACs
|
| Output Capability |
12 output TTL signals to USB Module.
Drive control signal for up to 3 drives for use with motor/drive
controller boards in voltage follower mode.
Reverse signal for up to 4 drives.
Ignition circuit and "Ignition On" LED |
| Other Features |
On board LEDs for all 12 sensors and all 4 reverse relays.
Fixed 10K resistors across drive outputs - needed for voltage
follower mode. |
| Connections |
Inputs/Outputs to/from USB module via IDC 10-way headers
(3 off).
All other inputs/outputs via rising clamp screw terminals.
|
| Size |
Approx 150mm x 100mm |
How Many Do I need? - You need one intermediate board per
motion base.

Replacement or Additional
USB Module
|
This module is configured to and sold only in conjunction with
Motion Drive 3.0 software. This is for those that need to add to
or replace the USB modules that come with your Motion Drive software
package.
Replacements: - should your USB modules become damage or
non-functional and you need a replacement, we can supply a module
ready configured for your motion platform.
Additions:- The Motion drive package is supplied with two
modules included. This is sufficient for all platform configurations
except those 3 axis platforms which have four drives/motors. If
your platform is planned to be a 3-axis, 4 drive design then we
can supply the extra USB Module at the time of buying Motion Drive
3.0, preconfigured. If you are upgrading we can supply the extra
USB Module later, also preconfigured.
Please let us know if this is a replacement or additional module
at the time of purchase.
