6.1.9. Matching Two Servo (X and Y) Channels
The purpose of this section is to match the dynamic performances of a dual axis X and Y system
over all angles and frequencies. This system would consist of two 670 boards and two scanners.
If the two channels are not closely matched, the system will not make sfraight lines when both
channels are moved simultaneously. They also will not retrace a pattem when the beam is
traveling in the opposite direction. Thus, it is cmcial for optimum performance to perform this
procedure whenever either servo channel has been retimed. This matching is done standard at
(Zlambridge Technology and should not need to be repeated during the normal operating life of
the system.
1.
Set up the system by following steps 1 - 7 in section 4.2. The system must have had its
Command Input Scale Factor, Position Output Scale Factor, and Closed Loop Response
adjusted properly to perform this. Ensure the mirrors are aligned by following the procedure
in section 7.1.8., to eliminate the chance of their hitting.
2.
Input a 30 Hz square wave signal such that the scanners move 2° mechanical peak-to-peak.
For larger systems a slower square wave can be used. It is very important that the two
channels receive the information simultaneously, or this procedure cannot be performed
properly. For analog input systems, this is easily done by using a BNC "T" connector and
hooking up to both inputs simultaneously. If
the
system is digital, do not let a timing skew
occur between the X and Y channels. Let both channels' CS lines go low simultaneously. If
this is not possible, convert the 670 for analog input operation for the purpose of this
procedure.
3.
Tum on the system power. Monitor both channels' position out signals, Vp on TPl, on an
oscilloscope while extemally triggering the scope on the input signal at W4. Monitor the
channel with the greater inertia first. This is usually the slower system. In most cases this is
the Y-channel. Ensure the step response is at the required speed for the application and that
it looks critically damped. Refer to the timing procedure above in section 7.1.7. for specific
instmctions. If it is not tuned as required, retune this channel now.
4.
Input a full-field signal. Monitor the same channel and ensure that the large signal step
response is also as desired. Once this is accepted, do not tum any ofthe pots associated with
this channel or this procedure must be started over again.
5.
Input a 2° signal again. Now monitor both channels' Position Out signals superimposed on
one another on the oscilloscope. Increase the vertical gain and sweep speed on the
oscilloscope until the speed difference between the two channels is noticeable. See Figures
30 and
31.
