- To move the source mover, use NPA PMX-2ED-SA-117.exe software. Plug in controller power supply, plug USB from controller into laptop, try starting software. It should show a small window on the right hand side with option to click “USB” mode.
- Once on the Main Window. We will open and load scripts. Goto Files→ Open → Run Set Absolute Positions.prg. This script sets the software to know what the initial position is: X0 Y96 (source at center).
- Running the script has 4 steps 1) load program 2) compile 3) download 4) run.
- On a separate window, go to Files - K100 - Run76_2d_source_mover_coordinate_calculator.xlsx for the calculator to see where the source mover actually moves based on input coordinates.
- Run X and Y set ABSOLUTE.prg. Just run it to X0 Y96, no move. Check coil resistances at the connectors.
- Plug motor coil connectors into the controller. Notice this produces high frequency junk in one of the DCRC3 channels. Check this using the oscilloscope.
- Run X and Y set ABSOLUTE to X0 Y96. Expect this to move the source from its slightly offset position after installation to true center.
- Run X and Y set ABSOLUTE to X0 Y96 a second time. This time we don't expect a physical move. Run X and Y set ABSOLUTE to X64 Y64. This should position the source on the positive y axis over pC (both sides).
- Run X and Y set ABSOLUTE to X64 Y96. This should position the source back at the center. Specifically here we are leaving the X motor in the same place, and rotating the Y motor to get the source back to what should be center.
