1.2 Summary The PCI-6205C is an encoder pulse counter board for PCI-based computers. It provides eight 24-bit counters. Six interrupt sources are available for trigger purpose: carry/borrow detection, comparator output, external interrupt signal, external latch, incorrect state transition error, and interval timer. This board can output a comparator output signal to external equipment. The input configuration is a photo-isolated RS-422 compliant differential input. The maximum input pulse rate is 2 MHz.

1.2.1 Features 1. Pulse count mode

The PCI-6205C supports three pulse count modes: gated single-phase pulse count, phase-shifted pulse count, and upward/downward pulse count modes.

2. Automatic counter clear

The PCI-6205C can adjust a position automatically to clear a counter to zero at assertion of phase Z signal. 3. External latch signal

The PCI-6205C can latch a counter by external signal (L signal).

4. External interrupt signal The PCI-6205C has an external interrupt signal (IR.IN1 signal). It can be used as an external interrupt and general purpose digital input.

5. Comparator interrupt and comparison status

The PCI-6205C can generate an interrupt when the counter value becomes equal to a comparator reference value. You can also confirm the comparator status by status registers. The comparator output signal is asserted while the counter value is equal to the comparator reference value.

6. Carry/borrow detection

The PCI-6205C can generate an interrupt when a carry or borrow occurs.

7. Incorrect state transition error The PCI-6205C can generate an interrupt when it detects an incorrect state transition error at the phase-shifted pulse count mode.

8. Built-in timer/counter

The PCI-6205C has a timer/counter circuit that can be used as an interval timer. A software selectable clock period of 10 μs, 100 μs, 1 ms, 10 ms, and 100 ms and a software programmable frequency divisor in the range of 1 through 15 are supported. You can use the output signal for periodic interrupt generation.

9. Photo-isolated input channels Internal circuits of the board are photo-isolated from the input block. This isolation prevents external noise from interfering with the internal circuits.

10. PCI 5 V/3.3 V signaling environment

The PCI-6205C is compliant with the PCI 5 V/3.3 V signaling environment.

3.5 Interrupt Sources This board can generate interrupts to the computer with the following sources:

• Carry/borrow detection • Comparator output • External interrupt signal • External latch • Incorrect state transition error • Interval timer

Using the interrupt status register, you can determine which interrupts occurred. Each interrupt can be individually masked or unmasked. 1. Carry/borrow detection

An interrupt occurs when a carry or borrow occurs. 2. Comparator output

An interrupt occurs when a counter value becomes equal to a comparator reference value. 3. External interrupt signal

A general purpose digital input signal (IR.IN1) is used as an external interrupt input signal. An interrupt occurs by the falling edge or rising edge of an input signal.

4. External latch

An interrupt occurs when the PCI-6205C transfers a counter value to the latch register. 5. Incorrect state transition error

An interrupt occurs when detecting an incorrect state transition error at the phase-shifted pulse count mode. 6. Interval timer

The interval timer can be used to generate an interrupt to the host computer every timer cycle period. The timer cycle period is given by the following equation:

T = RATE × CLK. T: Timer cycle period RATE: integer 1 through 15 CLK: 10 µs, 100 µs, 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms

This timer begins counting immediately after both RATE and CLK are programmed, and it will keep counting until a stop instruction is issued. It is recommended that you use an interrupt timer interval greater than or equal to 10 ms. Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95 cannot handle a large number of interrupts within a short time period. In such a case, Windows may hang up or freeze.

MPB-A6205C Ver. 1.4

3.6 Status Register The PCI-6205C has 6 status flags per channel. These flags allow you to identify counter status or operation. These flags are cleared after reading. 1. Count direction

This status flag reports the count direction, upward or downward, of the counter.

2. Comparator output This status flag notifies a counter value and a comparator reference value become equal.

3. Equal detection

This status flag is set to 1 while a counter value is equal to the comparator reference value. 4. External latch

This status flag reports if the external latch occurred.

5. Carry/borrow detection This status flag reports that a carry or borrow occurs.

6. Incorrect state transition error

This status flag can detect an incorrect state transition error at the phase-shifted pulse count mode.

Chapter 4 External Connections Keep these important points in mind when connecting the board with external equipment. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MIGHT RESULT IN EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE IN THE PCI BOARD CIRCUITS, CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL FIRE, WITH POSSIBLE OPEN FLAME AND SMOKE.

• To achieve precise data acquisition, we recommend you to use shielded cables such as the ECO-6601 cable (our optional product), the length are as short as possible to eliminate interference caused by noise. Moreover, move the noise sources away as far as possible.

• The input resistors on this board may become very hot while the board is running depending on the use conditions.

• The signaling mode of each phase A, phase B, and phase Z signal is compliant with RS-422. The maximum input voltage rating is +5 Vdc.

• Each external latch signal is photo-isolated. The input voltage rating is +5 Vdc. If you need to use a power supply with higher voltage, you should regurate the input voltage to the signal to satisfy the input rating.

• Double-check that polarities are correct before connecting external power supplies.

• A comparator output signal EQ is the open-collector output. The maximum output current is +40 mA. The maximum output voltage is +30 Vdc.

• Keep the signal cable away from other equipment as far as possible to avoid electromagnetic interference.

• Pulse count mode

You can select a count mode from the three count modes listed below. 1. Phase-shifted pulse count mode

In this mode, the counter counts two phase-shifted pulse signals. The counter value increases or decreases according to phase difference.

2. Upward/downward pulse count mode In this mode, when phase B is high-level, the counter value increases at each rising edge of phase A. When phase A is high-level, it decreases at each rising edge of phase B.

3. Gated single-phase pulse count mode In this mode, phase B as a gate signal enables the counter operation. While the gate signal is high-level, the counter counts phase A. You can select a counter direction, up or down, by the command.


MPB-A6205C Ver. 1.4


• Pulse counter

The PCI-6205C provides eight counter channels. The counter length is 24 bits. The count timing and direction depend on the pulse count mode and input pulses. You can load an arbitrary value into the counter. When you access to the counter, you must access the counter from the least significant byte. You can enable or disable the counter.

• External latch

The latch register stores data from the counter. A software latch command or an external latch signal transfers the data from the counter to the latch register.

• Counter clear

A software clear command or external clear signal clears both the counter and the latch register. Asynchronous and synchronous clear modes are supported.

• Comparator

The PCI-6205C has a 24-bit comparator per channel. This board can assert the equal signal while a counter value is equal to a comparator reference value. This board can generate an interrupt when it detects comparison match. You can use a status flag to determine the comparison result.

• Counter status The PCI-6205C provides six status flags that report the counter status: carry/borrow detection, comparator output, count direction, equal detection, external latch, and incorrect state transition error.

• Interrupt sources Each channel has six interrupt sources: carry/borrow detection, comparator output, external interrupt signal, external latch, incorrect state transition error, and interval timer.

4.2.2 External Clear Condition/External Latch Condition The PCI-6205C can clear or latch a counter value by external signals. The following settings are available.

• External clear condition

1. No operation 2. Clear when the phase Z signal changes to its asserted level. 3. Clear when the latch signal and phase Z signal change to their respective asserted level.

• External latch condition

1. No operation 2. Latch when the L signal changes to its asserted level. 3. Latch when the L signal and phase Z signal change to their respective asserted level.

Notes:

• A logic level of the phase Z signal is positive logic at the default. The logic level is programmable. • A logic level of the L signal is negative logic at the default. The logic level is programmable.

When the clear operation conflicts with the latch operation, the latch operation is taken priority. After that, the counter is cleared.

MPB-A6205C Ver. 1.4

4.2.3 Synchronous/Asynchronous Clear Mode The following table shows clear modes of each counter mode.

Clear Mode Count Mode Asynchronous Clear Synchronous Clear

Phase-Shifted Pulse Count Mode Supported Supported Upward/Downward Pulse Count Mode Supported ⎯ Gated Single-Phase Pulse Count Mode Supported ⎯

• Asynchronous clear

The counter is cleared whenever the external clear condition is satisfied. • Synchronous clear (only applicable to the phase-shifted pulse count mode)

The counter is cleared synchronizing with the transition of the phase A signal when the external clear condition is satisfied while the phase B signal is deasserted.

Note: Refer to “4.2.2 External Clear Condition/External Latch Condition,” page 24, about the setting. 1. Asynchronous clear mode

• External clear condition: Clear when the phase Z signal changes to its asserted level.

• Logic level: The phase Z signal is positive logic.

2. Asynchronous clear mode • External clear condition:

Clear when the latch signal and phase Z signal change to their respective asserted level.

• Logic level: The phase Z signal is positive logic. The L signal is negative logic.

Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Checkpoints

Cause Solution Double-check all cable connections. The device driver checks the RSW1 value of each board for identification purposes. If the RSW1 value of one board conflicts with that on another identical board in the same system, then the device driver may not work. When two or more identical boards are installed in a single system, each RSW1 must be set to a unique value. See “3.2 Interface PCI Board Identification (RSW1),” page 13.

The data can not be transferred correctly.

If the power requirements exceed the system power budget, the circuits on the board or connected external circuits cannot be powered properly. Prepare an external power supply for your PCI board. Set up the board interrupt configuration such as edge selection or sources to be consistent with your application and external circuits.

Interrupts do not occur.

If the interrupt configuration is correct, but the interrupt is masked, the interrupt will not occur. Unmask the interrupt that you want to use.

The computer does not recognize this board.

Use the PCI device viewer (BPF-0801) to examine PCI boards on your computer after downloading it from our Web site. Please send the result to our Technical Support Center by fax or e-mail.

Note: You can easily detect the causes of the malfunctions by using the diagnostic program.
