KOSMOS IE • What is included in Instrument Control? • Motor/Mechanism control • Position feedback • Process variable indication • Any I&C that is not image acquisition/detector control
MODS/OSMOS IE FEATURES • All mechanisms use stepper motors • All mechanism control channels use identical controller • All mechanisms use identical cabling • Multiple mechanisms can be moved simultaneously, typically about 4.
KOSMOS IE = OSMOS IE • Mechanism suite • Microlynx 7 motor controller • Comtrol Serial Port Server • Wago I/O node • Item Frame and internal panels • OSU Motor Board • Power Supply (65VDC)
WAGO 750 I/O SYSTEM ML7 MOTOR CONTROLLERS
KOSMOS IE ≠ OSMOS IE • Different shutter and non-OSU camera electronics may have shutter control going through IE • Shutter has position feedback via RS-232 which could be read by IE • Low power sleep mode that shuts off 65V power and motor controllers will be added.
