Product Warranty (2 years)

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-

ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years

from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or

altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,

or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-

lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as

a consequence of such events.

Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-

ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an

Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no

charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will

be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and

freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For

example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware

and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any

onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-

ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return

merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows

us to process your return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and

Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date

(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product

returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-

ranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and

ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Packing List

Before setting up the system, check that the items listed below are

included and in good condition. If any item does not accord with the

table, please contact your dealer immediately.

• PCI-1240 or PCI-1240U card

• Companion CD-ROM (DLL driver included)

• User Manual

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity

Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the

products from damage.

1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your

PC chassis before you work on it. Don't touch any components on

the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.

2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The

sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card may

damage sensitive electronic components.

CHAPTER

Introduction

This chapter introduces PCI-1240 and

PCI-1240U and lists their features and

detailed specifications.

PCI-1240/PCI-1240U User Manual 2

Chapter 1 Introduction

PCI-1240 and PCI-1240U 4-Axis Stepping/Pulse-type Servo Motor Con-

trol Cards are designed for general-purpose extreme motion applications.

The cards are high-speed 4-Axis motion control cards for the PCI (1240)/

Universal PCI (1240U) bus that simplifies stepping and pulse-type servo

motor control, giving you added performance from your motors.

The cards’ intelligent NOVA MCX314/MCX314AS motion ASIC builds

in a variety of motion control functions, such as 2/3-axis linear interpola-

tion, 2-axis circular interpolation, T/S-curve acceleration/deceleration

rate and more. In addition, the next generation chip, MCX314AS is lead-

free and not only increases the 2/3-axis linear interpolation range and the

number of output pulses, but also provides the “Go Home” function.

PCI-1240 and PCI-1240U performs these motion control functions with-

out processor load during driving. For advanced applications, we supply

Windows DLL drivers and user-friendly examples to decrease your pro-

gramming load. Moreover, through a free bundled PCI-1240 motion util-

ity, you can complete configuration and diagnosis easily.

1.1 Features

PCI-1240/PCI-1240U provides users with the most requested motor con-

trol functions as seen below:

• Independent 4-axis motion control

• Support hand wheel and jog function

• 2/3-axis linear interpolation function

• 2-axis circular interpolation function

• Continuous interpolation function

• Programmable T/S-curve acceleration and deceleration

• Up to 4MPPS pulse output for each axis

• Two pulse output types: Up/Down or Pulse/Direction

• Up to 1 MHz encoder input for each axis

• Two encoder pulse input types: A/B phase or Up/Down

• Position management and software limit switch function

• BoardID Switch

• Free Motion Utility bundled for configuration and diagnosis
