– 10 – ACRCOMM and ACREXPAXIS User’s Guide
EXPAXIS Overview
The EXPAXIS Plug-In Module provides additional axes support to the base
ACR1505. A maximum of 8 Axes (Stepper or Servo) and up to 10 Encoders
are available. Additionally, either of the 12 Bit or the 16 Bit ADC option can
be added to this board.
With the fully loaded EXPAXIS option, an ACR1505 can have up to 12
Servo/Stepper Outputs, 14 Incremental Encoders, and 16 Single Ended (8
Differential) ADC Channels.
Plugs on the EXPAXIS module for ENCODERS, DAC/STEPPER and ADC
are different from the base ACR1505 board and caution should be used
when wiring.
Cables
The EXPAXIS module has the following cables:
• XP1A—For ENC10,11,12, and 13
• XP1B—For ENC14,15,16, and 17
• XP1C—For ENC18 and19
• XP9—For Stepper power and ground.
• XP10—For High speed interrupt (INTCAP) inputs. EXP-IN0…EXP-IN7
are TTL logic only.
• XP2—For DAC/STEPPER/ADC I/O. (Corresponds to P2 connector on
the ACR1505 Controller board.
The P2 connector on the ACR1505 Controller board is a D-
Subminiature connector; whereas XP2 on the EXPAXIS module is a 0.1
inch Center Header ribbon cable. To convert the XP2 connector
(EXPAXIS module) for use with the P2 connector (ACR1505), use the
DXP2 cable assembly (part number PWH80500) supplied with the
EXPAXIS module.
Note: There is no watchdog relay on the EXPAXIS module, so the
watchdog signals are not wired on the DXP2 cable assembly. Therefore,
you must use the watchdog safety contacts from the ACR1505
Controller P2 connector for safeguarding the machine.
