Subject: motor model 3 with binary commands PiCo 33 piezo CN30 controller

Dear all,

 

I’m struggling to write a motor driver for an old piezo controller that goes by the name CN30 or PiCo 33 from Mechonics.

I guess my problem is that this controller talks only in command-bytes and I’m trying to use the model 3 driver which is based on ASCII-commands. I attached a pdf with a description of the RS232 command-byte and I also found a SPEC driver for this controller: BLISS: SPEC Macro documentation / Macrofile: mechonics.mac (esrf.fr)

 

This is my move function from the driver:

 

asynStatus CN30Axis::move(double position, int relative, double baseVelocity, double slewVelocity, double acceleration)

{

    asynStatus status;

    size_t nwrite;

    int steps, steps2Go;

    char nsteps[4];

    // static const char *functionName = "CN30Axis::move";

 

    // calculate how many steps to do, ca. 200nm/Step and we drive in mm

    steps2Go = static_cast<int>(position / 200e-7);

    while (steps2Go > 0) {

        if (steps2Go >= 100) strcpy(nsteps, "111"), steps = 100;

        else if (steps2Go >=  50) strcpy(nsteps, "110"), steps = 50;

        else if (steps2Go >=  20) strcpy(nsteps, "101"), steps = 20;

        else if (steps2Go >=  10) strcpy(nsteps, "100"), steps = 10;

        else if (steps2Go >=   5) strcpy(nsteps, "011"), steps = 5;

        else if (steps2Go >=   2) strcpy(nsteps, "010"), steps = 2;

        else if (steps2Go >=   1) strcpy(nsteps, "001"), steps = 1;

 

        sprintf(pC_->outString_, "00000%s", nsteps);

        pC_->writeController();

 

        epicsThreadSleep(0.001);

 

        steps2Go = steps2Go - steps;

    }

    return status;

}

 

Here is the IOC console output with asynTraces turned on when trying to do a 1mm move (I also need to work on the step-resolution but this is not the issue right now):

I can see the axis moving, but it is the wrong axis because Bit 7 and 6 are actually 0 (see attached pdf).

 

Also, the command 00000111 in the output looks right I’m not sure if the controller understands it. Is it right to use:

        sprintf(pC_->outString_, "00000%s", nsteps);

        pC_->writeController();

when I want to send a byte-command? Does it matter?

So far, I only have experience in write ASCII-based motor drivers, based on examples of model 3.

Can someone help?

 

Thanks, and best regards!

Michael
