Description

XmPga01 board is suitable for application, where rotating or linear resolvers must be processed or where digital inputs and outputs must be specially processed. Board can realize e.g. fast control of stepper motor with MSm01, generating of digital signal sequences, accurate measurement of frequency or duty cycle, impulse counting etc.

Board can be connected to XBus interface of ConTeK control system.

Core of XmPga01 is FPGA - programable array from Altera, which provides processing of all inputs, outputs and resolver decoders. FPGA function is defined by configuration file, which is loaded from control unit through XBus interface.

Resolver inputs allows connecting and processing up to four revolving or linear resolvers. Inputs consist of amplifier with gain, which can be set by inserting resitor network into socket. Gain is common for two resolver inputs. Difference between input signals of one resolver can be compensated by resistor trimmers.

Common sinus oscillator with selectable frequency provides excitation for all resolvers.

Each digital input has resistance T-element. This allows setting of input signal level simply by inserting resitor network into socket. Resistor network is common for group of four signals. Input signals are connected by 34 wire flat cable.

All digital outputs has TTL buffers. Moreover 8 or 16 outputs can be equipped with transistor switches. Output signals are connected by two 34 wire flat cables.
