Application Information

The TPMC151 is a standard single-width 32-bit PMC

module and supports a 33 MHz / 32-bit universal (5 V /

3.3 V) PCI interface.

The TPMC151-10R provides 4 channels of Resolver or

LVDT/RVDT to Digital Converter with 16-bit resolution. It

accepts inputs signals up to 12 VRMS, with frequencies

ranging from 1 kHz to 20 kHz and allows tracking rates up

to ¼ of th e e xc ita tio n fre q u e n c y (i.e . 1 0 k H z -> 2 5 0 0 rp s ).

The converter provides a digital angle, respectively stroke

value, and a digital velocity value. For LVDT/RVDT differential

and ratiometric sensor configuration is supported.

The TPMC151 provides individual excitation outputs with

software selectable excitation frequency and output voltage

swing for each channel. Adjustable frequency is ranging

from 1 kHz to 20 kHz and the output voltage range is 0 to

12 VRMS with up to 100 mA. No external power supply is

required. Alternatively, an external excitation can be used.

The TPMC151-20R replaces two resolver channels with

two Synchro-to-Digital Converter channels. For Synchro

channels the excitation output is not available and an

external excitation must be used. Synchro channels accept

input signals up to 28 VRMS, with frequencies ranging from

400 Hz to 20 kHz.

All TPMC151 signals are accessible through a 50-pin MDR

type front I/O connector.

Software Support (TPMC151-SW-xx) for different operating

systems is available.

Application Information

The TPMC117 is a standard single-width 32 bit PMC

module and offers six independent channels. Each of

these channels can operate as a standard SSI interface

controller, in a SSI ‘Listen only’ Mode, as an incremental

encoder or general purpose counter.

The standard SSI interface controller outputs a clock burst

to the absolute encoder and receives the returned

positional data. The SSI interface controller operates with

a programmable clock rate from 1µs to 15µs and

programmable data word length from 1 bit to 32 bit.

In ‘Listen only’ Mode the channel listens to an existing SSI

interface to observe its data transfer. It takes both the SSI

clock and data as inputs. In ‘Listen only’ Mode the channel

also has a programmable data word length from 1 bit to 32

bit; the SSI clock rate of the observed SSI interface can be

in the range of 1µs to 15µs.

In both modes the data word can be encoded in Binary- or

in Gray code and with odd, even or no parity.

The 32 bit incremental encoder counter is a preloadable up-

and down counter. The counter is programmable for single,

double and quadruple analysis of the encoder signals. In

conjunction with the isolated 24V digital inputs it provides

the possibility of automatic preload of the counter whenever

the motion system passes a reference position.

The 32 bit general purpose preloadable up- and down

counter can be fed with an internal clock or with external signals.

Both counter modes offer a 32 bit preload register, a 32 bit

compare register and various count modes.

A ‘Multiple Channel Read’ function latches the actual values

of all enabled channels whose values can then be read

without interfering with normal function.

In addition the TPMC317 provides a 16 bit down-counter

with preload register which allows timing intervals of up to

65ms. It can be used as reference timer for closed loop

applications or as trigger for the Multiple Channel Read function.

All data inputs are isolated. The level of the input signals

can be RS422 or TTL. The input signals pass a digital filter

for noise suppression before they are further used.

The level of the SSI clock output signals is RS422.

Each of the six motion control channels of the TPMC317

offers one isolated 24V digital input. The input circuit

ensures a defined switching point and polarization

protection against confusing the pole. The input has an

electronic debounce circuit. All six 24V digital inputs can

generate an interrupt, triggered on rising or falling edge.

Depending on the selected mode the input can be used as

general purpose input or reference input.

All signals are accessible through the P14 back I/O connector.

The TPMC317 can operate with 3.3V and 5.0V PCI I/O signaling voltage.

Software Support (TDRV005-SW-xx) for different operating systems is available.

The monitor device switches the power supply of the

SRAM from the standard 5V to the battery if the 5V supply

drops below the battery monitor device threshold level.

Any active access to the SRAM at this point is executed

correctly within 1.5µs. After this time any further accesses

to the SRAM are not possible.

A miniature DIP switch allows the selection of the battery

backup source either from the on board lithium cell or from

an external battery via the P14 I/O connector.

The TPMC917-10R provides four RS232 channels. Each

channel has a programmable baud rate up to 115.2Kbaud.

The 4 channel UART provides a 64Byte transmit FIFO and

a 64Byte receive FIFO for each channel to significantly

reduce the overhead required to provide data to and get

data from the transmitter and the receiver. The FIFO

trigger levels are programmable. The channels are ESD

protected up to +/-15kV according to the human body

model and IEC1000-4-2.
