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.
