The ACC-3A is an interface board that is used to provide connections between a Delta Tau PMAC™ Motion Controller or PMC-S4 motion controller and up to four servo motor axes. The ACC-3A is normally mounted on the rear of a 3U or 6U Eurocard ("VME Style") rack chassis, although it can also be mounted in a variety of other fashions due to its compact size. The signals to and from the motion controller are divided up into groups for each axis and brought out to connectors on the board. Each of the four available axes has its own connectors for a Quadrature Style Encoder, Hall Effect sensors, an Amplifier, and a set of Limit and Home Switch inputs. The Amplifier Enable signal for each axis is also brought out to a connector to allow using the signal with external equipment. Jumpers allow configuring the motion controller to perform external sinusoidal commutation for brushless motors. In this mode, two outputs of the motion controller are required to drive each motor.
