Single-Axis Motion Controller

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on how to use the

SMC100 Controller graphical user interface (GUI).

1.2 Overview

The SMC100 Controller GUI is a graphical user interface, that allows the user to

interact with the SMC100CC or SMC100PP controller that is connected to stages. The

user can initiate moves, change the state of the controller, adjust parameters, etc.

1.3 Controller State Diagram

The SMC100 controller is defined by the following state diagram.

End of Runs encountered in the following state:

NOT REFERENCED: No action.

CONFIGURATION: No action.

HOMING: Only check at end of HOMING and then change to NOT

REFERENCED state.

MOVING: Abort motion and then change to NOT REFERENCED state.

READY: Change to NOT REFERENCED state.

DISABLE: Change to NOT REFERENCED state.

Controller’s LED display:

NOT REFERENCED: If everything is OK then SOLID ORANGE.

NOT REFERENCED: If hardware faults or wrong parameters then SOLID RED.

NOT REFERENCED: If end of runs then SLOW BLINK ORANGE.

CONFIGURATION: SLOW BLINK RED.

READY: SOLID GREEN.

DISABLE: SLOW BLINK GREEN.

HOMING: FAST BLINK GREEN.

MOVING: FAST BLINK GREEN.

JOGGING: FAST BLINK GREEN.

1.4 Building the System

Up to 31 controllers can be networked through the internal RS-485 communication

link. The first SMC100 is connected to the RS232 connector (address #1) which is

connected to the computer and the others are linked with the RS485 connectors (address

#2 to address #31).

When the addresses of all controllers are set, you can build your system.

Pull out all cables from all controllers. Set the dip switches of the controller with the

address number 1 as FIRST. Set the dip switches of the other controllers, except one, as

OTHERS, and set the dip switches of one controller as LAST. When you have only two

controllers, one has to be set as FIRST (the one with the address number 1), and the

other one as LAST. See below graphic for illustration.

Connect the SMC100CC/PP configured as FIRST to the RS-232-C port or to the USB

port of your PC. Connect a RS-485 network cable to the RS-485 OUT of the FIRST

controller and to the RS-485 IN of the next controller. Proceed the same with all other

controllers. When done, you can check your system:

•The controller configured as FIRST should have the RS-232-C cable connected to

the computer. It has the address #1.

•All controllers configured as OTHERS should have one RS-485 network cable

connected to the RS-485 IN and another one to the RS-485 OUT.

•The controller connected as LAST should have one RS-485 network cable

connected to the RS-485 IN.

Connect your stages to the SMC100CC/PP’s (MOTOR connector). Connect your

SMC100CC/PP’s to power.

The SMC100CC/PP allows chaining power from one SMC100CC/PP to another one

using the SMC-PSC0.2 cable supplied with the controller. But the total power

consumption of all stages connected to the same power supply should not exceed 80 W.

The maximum power consumption of each Newport stage is listed in the Newport

catalog and on the Newport web site. In case of questions, contact Newport. Once

controllers have been networked the GUI can be used to switch between stages using

the selected stage box.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Install SMC100 Graphical User Interface

Following are steps to install SMC100 GUI:

•For 32 bit, Select and launch “SMC100 Utility Installer Win32.exe”. For 64 bit,

Select and launch “ SMC100 Utility Installer Win64.exe”.

•A window opens up showing Install welcome page.

•Click on “Next”.

•A window opens up allowing destination folder selection. By default it is showing

C:\.

•Click on “Next”.

•Ready to install window opens up. Click “Install”.

•Then installation starts, wait for completion. Click on “Finish” to finalize the

installation.

32 bit installer will be installed “Newport.SMC100.CommandInterface.dll” in GAC_32

folder and 64 bit installer will be installed the dll in GAC_64 folder.

NOTE

LabVIEW user can add reference of command interface dll from GAC during VI

creation.

2.2 Launch GUI

From Windows “START” menu , select “All Programs\Newport\Motion

Control\SMC100\SMC100 Utility”.

3.0 Getting Started

3.1 Discover Instruments

Start the Controller GUI from Newport\MotionControl\SMC100.

Next, click on “Discover” button and the number of instruments discovered will appear.

This window allows the user to select a com port where the desired instrument is

connected.

Next, click “Launch Applet” button.

4.0 User Interface

4.1 Configuration

The Configuration tab allows the user to view and/or change information related to the

logging configuration and the instrument settings.

In LoggingConfiguration, read only values are displayed for the log file name and the

log file path. The logging level may be changed to any of the settings in the drop-down

list on the right hand side.

Trace is the most detailed option of the settings. When this setting is selected, the

Controller GUI logs all the information.

Critical Error is the least detailed option of the settings. When this setting is selected,

the Controller GUI will log errors that are defined to be critical only.

The polling interval defines the number of milliseconds between each time the

Controller GUI polls the SMC100 for the latest information. The user may change the

polling interval by entering a value. Diagnostics Delay defines the time delay in

milliseconds between each command sent from a text file. InstrumentType and

NoOfInstruments display the type of controller and number of the connected

instrument.

The Save button allows to save the current settings to the configuration file.
