Working Principle Host computer downloads machine motion program to INFO-4KP-94161 board. The DSP parses program and calculates target position for each axis in real-time interpolation cycle. Motion commands transmit to servo drives via GinLink bus. Encoder feedback signals return to the board for closed-loop position comparison. The controller adjusts command value according to position error. Digital input signals capture limit switch and home signal, and trigger safety stop when interlock condition activates. Watchdog continuously monitors processor operation state.

Installation Requirements

  • Insert the board into designated slot of industrial PC or INDEL control rack.
  • Use shielded differential cable for GinLink bus connection.
  • Separate motion bus cable from high power motor cables.
  • Complete protective earth connection for rack.
  • Execute axis mechanical parameter setup and servo loop tuning.
  • Test home, limit switch and emergency stop interlock circuit.
  • Verify multi-axis synchronous interpolation performance before full operation.

Usage Notes

  • Do not operate board outside specified operating temperature range.
  • Keep cabinet free of conductive dust and corrosive gas.
  • Backup motion program and axis parameters before firmware upgrade.
  • Disconnect rack power before installing or removing board.
  • Use anti-static wristband when handling the board.
  • Replace board immediately when permanent bus communication or motion calculation fault occurs.
