What’s New With the Series 3?
The Agilent 5DX Series 3 includes the following upgrades and changes from the
Series II/2L:
• Panel Handling and motion control have been redesigned.
• The motion control driver assembly is integrated into the Motion Control
Assembly. There is no motion control power supply
• XYZ Stage initialization has been improved.
• Brushless motors are now used, eliminating the need to change motor
brushes.
• A mechanical “middle rail” option is available so two boards or panels can
be tested simultaneously for increased through put.
• The Power Subsystem has changed
• There are only nine power options available, reducing confusion of which
one to use.
• The isolation transformer and Brute power supply have been eliminated.
• The PDU now controls servo module power.
• External power outlets have been eliminated to reduce confusion about
what is or is not 5DX power.
• A new controller and expansion chassis are used.
• The new controller provides faster handling of information.
• The new expansion chassis uses primarily PCI bus components instead of
the older ISA components.
