Several configurations of the PCS-6000 have less than four motors. In these
instances, there are unused motor receptacles that may be left untouched as
they are inactive without the presence of a motor.
4.2.1. Servo Motor Control Memory Options
The control unit is available with two different memory options:
1. The "T" type configuration provides two memory presets which are
functional on the manipulator stage connected to "Motor 2" input on the
controller front panel. This is typically used on the manipulator for the
Approach axis. This controller setting can be verified by two audible
beeps when the controller is powered up.
2. The "C" type configuration provides 2 memory presets which are
functional on the manipulator stage connected to “Motor 3” input on the
controller front panel. This is typically used on the manipulator for the Z
(vertical) axis. This controller setting can be verified by hearing three
audible beeps when the controller is powered up.
CAUTION
Never connect or disconnect the cable when the unit is on.
This could cause an arc and damage to the control unit.
4.3. Piezo Control Board
The piezo control board is the lower board in the PCS-6000 control chassis. It
has four receptacles for piezo units. Depending on the position of the knob on
the ACU box, a voltage between 0 and 60 V DC is applied to the piezo unit.
Several configurations of the PCS-6000 have less than four piezo units. In these
instances, there are unused piezo receptacles.
WARNING
Dangerous voltage may be present. Do not plug anything into the piezo
receptacle when the unit is turned on. Ensure the unit is turned off before
connecting any piezo cables.
