ID Date Author Type Category Subject   261   Mon Feb 15 16:37:31 2010 Joseph Strzalka 8-ID-E&I Beamline Hardware Phytron SINCOS stepper motor drivers The spec sheet and manual for the Phytron SINCOS stepper motor drivers can be found online: ftp://ftp.phytron.de/datasheets/power_stages/sincos-gb.pdf (spec sheet) ftp://ftp.phytron.de/manuals/power_stages/sincos-gb.pdf (manual) The manual describes the procedure for setting the current on p 16 (p 18 of the pdf). In principle, the current is continuously variable down to 0 A. However, be aware that larger current transients may occur that could be potentially damaging to devices requiring low driving current. For example, Micos tested a Phytron SINCOS driver with their RS-40 rotation stage and found that it was suitable, but when Kurt Goetze tested a Phytron SINCOS driver in his chassis, he observed transient power spikes on system shutdown. Use caution when driving low-current devices with the Phytron -- it may be best to install appropriate fuses in series. Email from Kurt Goetze, 2011.04.22: "Based on your assessment, I went back to take a look at our Sincos module, in our Phytron rack, at power-up. I connected a motor with ~5 Ohm coils. In series with one of the coils I placed a 1 Ohm resistor, and looked a the voltage across it with a scope. Power-up looked good. "To my surprise, though, Power-down consistently produced a large transient voltage spike in the negative direction. The spike lasted ~200 msec, and reached a peak of well over 1 volt. This would imply a current spike throughthe coil of over an Amp. I realize that this coil has different characteristics than the motor in question, but it may be that this aspect of our Phytron system (chassis/power setup) is what was blowing out our coils."   267   Tue Apr 13 09:35:55 2010 Alec 8-ID-I Beamline Hardware Hexapod positions for lens 4 - 3rd order, 7.35 keV Attachment 1: HexapodPositionsLens4_20100413.png   275   Wed Sep 22 13:04:00 2010 Joseph Strzalka 8-ID-"G" Beamline Hardware Huber two-tilt stage Huber 2-tilt stage for GIS instrument The pin-outs for the upper and lower arc segments (currently th and chi, respectively) are wired differently, as described in the attached diagram from Huber. As a result, the adapters that connect the motors to the ELCO cable are specific to each motor and should not be swapped. Joe Sullivan swapped some pins on the upper segment (th) adapter to make the hard limits behave correctly. Joe also pointed out that the two adpaters are wired differently, so the upper segment uses all the windings on the stepper motor, but the lower segment does not. If we have performance issues, this could be changed.

The transmissibility is higher than 1 at some low frequency range. Therefore, system off is worse than no system especially at low frequencies. See attachment for details.

These parameters are to be entered in the EPICS screens under SRI geometry. Also, a pdf of the construction drawings are attached. Please ask Soon Hong Lee for more details. I think you are interested in the table (T6-47) which has ±2" vertical translation motion. Based on the drawing attached, I got the followings. Distance between pivots Lz = 685.8 mm (27.0") Lx = 511.2 mm (20.13") User limits X = +27 ~ -27 mm Y = +50 ~ -50 mm Z = +70 ~ -70 mm X' = +4.0 deg ~ -4.0 deg Y' = +5.5 deg ~ -5.5 deg Z' = +5.8 deg ~ -5.8 deg R position (table corner) to the M1 pivotal center Rx = - 7.94" Ry = 4.0"(table thickness)+ 0.7"(17.78 mm: which is the distance from the table bottom to the pivot center of the bearing assembly) Rz = -10.5" If you are interested in T6-46 which has ± 1" vertical travel, its vertical user limits will be half of the above. Y = +25 ~ -25 mm (for T6-46 table) Y' = +2.75deg ~ -2.75deg (for T6-46 table) SHLee Attachment 1: T6-46_and_47_construction_copy.pdf   293   Tue Mar 1 17:03:01 2011 Alec 8-ID-E Beamline Hardware shutterz postion and settings Physical height of shutterz stage in 8-ID-E before removed was 71 mm.

Today, the roughing pump on the downstream turbo pump unit appears to have died. Symptoms: 1. Yesterday, odor from pump (oil or hot insulation smell) 2. Today, turbo pump not reaching full rotation spped (1000 Hz ) Temporary work around: Enter emergency stop (E-Stop) on vacuum controller. Enter administrative mode and 'Pump all' so roughing pump pumps on downstream flight path. Turbo pump maxed out at only 730 Hz. After touchscreen showed "Good Vacuum" upstream sample and downstream, the upstream gate valve still did not open. Needed to increase the setpoint 4 (vacuum gauge at exit window of downstream flight path) to 3 x 10^0 (above the pressure reading of 2.7 x 10^0). After upstream gatevalve opened, vacuum at turbo pump improved and speed reached > 900 Hz, but not 1000 Hz. Users looked at a couple samples, plan is for Ray to swap out parts on the roughing pump and see if perfromacne improves. Attachment: pdf powerpoint file with notes on the vacuum system.

From the phi-circle to the center of rotation is 151.3 mm when the samz stage is in its lowest position. The hole pattern on the phi-circle is 4 holes tapped 1/4-20 in a square 2 inches on a side. The second attachment shows a template for an adapter plate to match the pattern of M6 tapped holes on the Cu block with tubing for the circulating chiller. The Cu block is normally oriented with the tubing connections facing outboard. The third attachment shows a drawing with approximate dimensions of all the features on the top surface of the Cu block. The spacing of the M6 holes is not as regular as indicated here, see the second attachment for the correct spacing. 2013.03.12: updating by adding a fourth attachment, which shows the pattern for an adapter plate template to match the (tapped) holes in the Cu block with tubing for the circulating chiller. Based on the numbers in the first attachment, the sample should be 105.9 mm above the surface of the Cu block to be in the center of rotation with samz at the middle of its travel.

Earlier, I didn't have time to test your expression with the value you supplied for the radius using the encoder, but now I have. I think we will keep on using the expression we obtained from fitting the data measured using an optical interferometer (I sent you the data and our fits back on June 8). The attachment shows residuals (measured value - fit value) computed for three cases: 1. your expression for the upper segment using 602.7 mm for the encoder radius (red) -- this is not really a fit, as all the parameters are fixed. It shows the residuals get systematically larger away from zero. b = 630.16 mm c = 602.7 mm d = 184 mm beta = 16.977 degrees encoder resolution = 0.1 mm offset = 3.1062 degrees (the value from our best cubic fit, this would be the wedge + an offset due to the table not being perfectly level) 2. the best fit using your expression (black), letting everything float. The values I obtained this way were: b = 630.23 mm c = 602.63 mm d = 183.98 mm beta = 16.975 degrees encoder resolution = 0.09984 mm offset = 3.1043 degrees 3. our cubic expression (blue) I haven't made the comparison for the lower segment yet, but I expect the results will be similar. Attachments: 39277_57682.PDF -- Huber's drawing of the two-tilt stage indicating correct radii for the encoders. Movement lower segment.pdf & Movement upper segment.pdf are information from Huber about the angular positioning of the arc segments. Ultimately, these are *not* the calibrations in use at 8-ID-E. These expressions are valid for relating the motor steps to the worm gear advance. But the radii used are different from the radii where the encoders are mounted. HuberTiltStageCalibration.pdf -- description of the encoder calibration in use at 8-ID-E. The data derive from measurements by the APS Survey Group.

It will replace the current dual output power supply, which is unstable and can drift. The power supply, ordered from Newark Electronics via AMOS, came with these accessories: Calibration report (scanned in and attached) Instruction manual CD with PC software IT-E132 interface kit: USB to TTL As a separate item, we also ordered IT-E131 interface kit: RS232 to TTL Also attaching the spec sheet for this power supply (http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1561467.pdf ) and the instruction manual (http://www.testec.de/DL/BK/MA/9130_EN.PDF ) NOTE: +15V supply powers external pre-amp +10V supply powers APD (also need High voltage input to APD) Attachment 1: BKPrecision9130PS_CalibrationReport.pdf Attachment 2: BKPrecision9130_Specs.pdf Attachment 3: BKPrecision9130_Manual.pdf   425   Wed Jun 10 11:19:43 2015 Eric Dufresne 8-ID-E Beamline Hardware picture of the 8-ID-E lens system and 2xtl chamber, samz problem https://anl.box.com/s/6tvcqjulns11il4py44nqbl0rcuxvod7 (picture of the 8-ID-E lens system before moving to 8-ID-G in April 2015) Issues we had last run: JJ X-ray samz stage lost step and actually froze. We switched to the samy channel for samz in the April beamtime, and didn't use the samy axis. The samz stage works well on motor2 with a ACS 6B (bipolar with 1A). It did get stuck maybe 10 mm below the PIN position when a heavy x-ray oven was on it. It worked well with the x-ray oven roughly lined up in the beam at the bottom position of samz. So if we must, we could swap samy and samz drivers to drive samz with the ACS 6B. I've found out that the samz stage being stuck was a mechanical problem. The stage gets stuck when one goes on the top of the range. I started to debug the last two pythron channels. m31 doesn't see limit signals. It doesn't move as a result because it thinks the limits are triggered. The broken channel is the 7th motor channel, the one that doesn't have a driver at the moment. It is likely a wiring issue or a motor card issue which we can fix soon. The good news is that m32 works. So we now have a spare, the 8th motor in that phytron bank. ED To do: return samy to operation: done 6/10/15 investigate samz with existing phytron driver (works with existing channel on 6/10/15)) Debug Phytron driver for spare channel on m29-m32. (m31 needs repair, m32 works)
