Preparation for Use Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller GPIB INTERCONNECTIONS The Model 2090 is compatible with the General Purpose Interface Bus as described in the IEEE 488.1/488.2 standard. A "D" connector has been provided on the 2090 rear panel for connection to a GPIB bus. NOTE: When making this connection, do not stack more than three cables on any one connector. This eliminates undue mechanical stress on the connector and rear panel.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller INITIALIZATION STARTUP The devices that will be controlled by the Model 2090 must be properly connected to the controller before applying power to the unit. If nothing is connected to the Model 2090 when power is applied the Device One and Device Two displays will show dashes (-----). The Model 2090 controller has a power-up diagnostic/selftest to check for internal problems found during initialization.
Initialization Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller RECOVERABLE ERRORS: The following errors indicate a recoverable problem that may require user intervention. These errors can be cleared by pressing any key on the front panel to acknowledge the error. These errors can also be cleared remotely through the GPIB Status reporting structure described in the section “USING THE GPIB COMMAND SET WITH THE MODEL 2090” subsection “GPIB Status Reporting”. E001 NVM Initialization Error.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller HARDWARE ERRORS: The following errors are not limited to the startup process, and should not occur under normal operation. In the event of such an error, power off the unit for several seconds and power it back on. If the error recurs, contact ETS for service. E996 E997 E998 E999 BERR Error Uninitialized Interrupt Spurious Interrupt Invalid Interrupt Error Refer to “Appendix B” for more information on error conditions and possible causes.
Initialization Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller EDITING PARAMETERS The Model 2090 provides a versatile user interface for editing configuration parameters, limits, and the current position, by allowing several keys to perform multiple duties. Prior to editing any settings, all device motion should be stopped.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller NOTE: In order to toggle the polarization of the tower from the front panel, the display must be showing the current position, and not either limit. To edit a configuration parameter, press the PARAM key to display the current parameter. Pressing the PARAM key repeatedly will scroll down through the parameter list, showing each parameter in turn. While viewing a parameter, the STEP keys (INC/DEC) may be used to scroll up or down the parameter list.
Initialization Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller or activate specific controller functions. The edit behavior of these parameters is described in the parameter table. Using the LOCAL key to select the appropriate digit and the INCRM and DECRM key to adjust the setting, any value can be entered quickly. Once the desired value is shown in the display, pressing ENTER will store the new value.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller CONFIGURING FOR USE Before using the Model 2090, it must be configured to match the primary devices connected to it. To the Model 2090, all primary devices are generic motor bases, with the ability to move in two directions, report an encoder position, and perform a few other basic functions. To activate behavior specific to a certain type of device, i.e.

Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller MODEL 2090 PARAMETER LIST The following table describes each parameter and the available settings. In general, the term “tower” will be used to refer to any linear positioning device, and the term “turntable” will refer to any rotational positioner. Parameter Description Refers to the principal type of device to be controlled: P1 0 = Turntable, Reverberation Paddle, MAPS, or other rotational positioner. 1 = Tower or other linear positioner.
Model 2090 Parameter List Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Refers to two different tower corrections, depending on the tower P4 type: For a standard tower, this value represents the polarization offset, in the range of ±50 cm, applied to the tower position reading when the polarization is changed. This parameter allows for correction of the antenna height changed caused when centerline rotation is not available or not in use.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Refers to the motor reverse delay, in seconds. This parameter allows P8 setting the reverse delay used between direction changes. This is the period of time for which the motor must remain off before allowing it to move in the other direction. For split-phase motors, it is critical that the motor come to a complete stop prior to reversing direction, or the motor will continue moving in the same direction and cause a Moving Wrong Direction error (E004).

Using the STEP keys, rotate the turntable clockwise until it is again aligned with the mark on the ground ring. For best results, the last motion should always be in the clockwise direction to insure that any play in the gearing between the motor and encoder is accounted for. Record the reading of the display, ignoring the decimal point (i.e. 360.0 would be 3600).
Model 2090 Parameter List Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Refers to the eight possible preset speed settings for variable speed S1-S8 devices. Each of these parameters can be set to any value from 0 to 255, with the resulting device speed being given approximately by the formula: Speed = N (MaxSpeed – MinSpeed) / 255 + MinSpeed Where N is the speed setting from 0 to 255.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Invokes the Overshoot Clear menu option. Pressing the ENTER key OSCLr will display SURE in the display. Pressing ENTER a second time will clear the overshoot compensation values for this device. Pressing any other key will abort the operation and perform the associated action. On occasion, certain motion error conditions, such as hardware limit hit (E005), can cause the overshoot compensation values to become corrupted, resulting in erratic behavior.
Model 2090 Parameter List Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Invokes the Zero Reference menu option. Pressing the ENTER key ZERO will display SURE in the display. Pressing ENTER a second time will initiate a zero search sequence. Pressing any other key will abort the operation and perform the associated action. Once initiated, the search sequence will move the device in the DOWN/CCW direction until the zero point is detected.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller This is the sound configuration setting for the motorbase speaker. SND The motorbase can output audible indications for errors, movement, and remote control feedback. 0 = All sounds disabled, 1 = Key press sounds enabled for hand control function, 2 = Error indications enabled, 3 = Motion sounds enabled. With all sounds enabled the motorbase will emit an audible noise if any error condition should arise and a warning indication during movement.

Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller OPERATION MANUAL OPERATIONS The front panel of the Model 2090 provides the interface for two separate and complete device controllers, each with identical displays and function keys. By default, both controllers are in manual (LOCAL) mode unless given any command from a device on the GPIB bus (usually a computer with a GPIB card installed). When in the remote mode the RMT indicator light will remain on and the ADDR indicator light will strobe with bus activity.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING LOCAL FUNCTIONS Pressing the LOCAL function key will cause the Model 2090 to exit remote mode, unless the unit has been remotely set to the Remote With Lockout State (RWLS) using the appropriate GPIB command codes (refer to the documentation provided with the controlling GPIB device for information on setting RWLS). When the controller exits remote mode, it enters manual mode and remains there until it receives the next GPIB command.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller equipped with variable speed control) and then the STOP motion indicator will illuminate for the Reverse Delay period (see Parameter P8) before moving in the requested direction. At that point, the UP/CW indicator will light solid. In all cases, motion will continue until the device reaches the soft limit, the hardware limit (if equipped), or until another motion command is issued.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller TO STOP MOTION To stop device motion, press the STOP key. The device will decelerate (if equipped with variable speed control), with the STOP motion indicator flashing to acknowledge the key press, and then the motor drive will be disabled and the STOP indicator will illuminate solid. USING LIMIT FUNCTIONS To set the lower/counterclockwise limit for the device under control, press the DOWN/CCW key under LIMIT. The indicator above this key will light.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller The lower limit must always be less than or equal to the upper limit. USING THE SCAN FUNCTION The SCAN key controls the cyclic motion of the attached device. The SCAN function allows continuous scanning of devices from one to an infinite number of cycles. The SCAN function begins by moving to the closest limit, then, from that point, the 2090 begins counting cycles. A cycle is defined as movement from one limit to the other and back again.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING THE STEP FUNCTIONS The STEP functions can move a device in “momentary” increments using the toggle keys under STEP. These keys allow “jogging” the device to a more exact position. These keys are as follows: INC Moves the device up or clockwise. DEC Moves the device down or counterclockwise. The controller will move the device in the desired direction as long as the key is pressed. When the key is released, the device will stop.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller For towers equipped with air polarization, pressing the POLARIZATION key, while the current position is shown in the display, will toggle the state of the air solenoid valve in the motor base. The HOR or VERT indicator will light to indicate the state of the solenoid. If the Polarization Offset (parameter P4 on a standard tower) is non-zero, the value will be added or subtracted from the current position depending on the target polarization.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller a small overshoot tolerance on this value, so, for example, a current position of 99.5 will not cause an error when switching to a polarization where the limit is 100.0.) Refer to the section on “Editing Parameters” under “Initialization” for information on checking or changing the limits for the target polarization.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller POLARIZATION VIOLATION AND LIMITS A common source of confusion is the Polarization Limits Violation (E006) ) designed to protect antenna elements from damage. The 2090 allows the user or a program to set separate limits for horizontal and vertical polarizations. However, attempting to polarize the tower when the current position is outside the limits for the target polarization will generate a polarization violation.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller For two speed turntables, pressing the SPEED key will toggle the speed control relay in the motor base. The FAST or SLOW indicator will light to indicate the state of the speed relay. The actual speed set by these two positions is dependent on the turntable design. For variable speed devices, the selection of the preset speed from the front panel is accomplished slightly differently, since the POLARIZATION / FLOTATION / SPEED key may have other uses.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller indicators will light to represent the lower two bits of the speed selection in a binary fashion as shown below: Speed 1 or 5: Speed 2 or 6: Speed 3 or 7: Speed 4 or 8: Both off Top on, bottom off Top off, bottom on Both on For all devices, each speed setting has its own individual overshoot compensation value to provide proper overshoot correction for each speed selection.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING AUXILIARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS The four auxiliary control ports on the rear panel of the Model 2090 allow the connection of additional devices (for example: Remote Air Polarized Tripods, LISNs, EUTs, etc.) to the controller. The auxiliary control outputs provide four non-interrelated fiber optic ON/OFF signals that can either respond to GPIB commands when in the remote mode, or can be toggled ON and OFF from the front panel while in the manual mode.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING A BORE SIGHT TOWER To configure a Bore Sight tower, do the following: Set P1 to 1 ; Define device as a tower Set P2 to 1 ; Bore Sight Tower Set P3 to 3, 10, or 30 ; Select distance to EUT Set P5 to 0 or 1 ; Select type of bore sight When in Bore Sight Mode, the height reported by the Model 2090 is an adjusted height. This height is based on the carrier height, boom length, and the distance to the EUT.

Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING AN AIR FLOTATION TURNTABLE To configure an Air Flotation turntable do the following: Set P1 to 0 ; Define device as a turntable Set P2 to 1 ; Air Floatation Turntable The Air Flotation turntable works the same as a normal turntable with one exception. This exception is the UP/ DOWN feature related to the Flotation.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING A MULTI-AXIS POSITIONER To configure a MAPS do the following for both devices: Set P1 to 0 ; Define device as a turntable Set P2 to 0 ; Standard Turntable Set C to appropriate calibration value. See the section “Model 2090 Parameter List” for the calibration value. Each axis of an ETS-Lindgren Multi-Axis Positioning System is a single device on the Model 2090.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller REMOTE OPERATIONS The RMT indicator under LOCAL on the front panel of the controller indicates that the associated device controller is in remote mode. By default, the controller is in manual mode unless given a command from a device on the GPIB bus (usually a computer with a GPIB card installed). When a command from the GPIB device is given, the RMT indicator will light and the ADDR indicator will light to show bus activity.
Operation Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller This page intentionally left blank.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller USING THE GPIB COMMAND SET WITH THE MODEL 2090 The ETS-Lindgren Model 2090 controller has a large command set covering all of ETS-Lindgren’s past positioning controllers. The command set from the Models 1050, 1060, and 1090 are incorporated into the Model 2090 along with a variety of new commands. The Model 2090 also supports the same command set as the ETS-Lindgren Model 2190 Virtual Device Controller.
Using the GPIB Command Set with the Model 2090 Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller IEEE 488.2 standard does not allow one behavior of the older controllers. Sending a position or limit command would set up the controller to respond to all future reads with that value. The IEEE 488.2 standard requires a query/response behavior, where the returned value must be requested first. Thus, on the model 2090, all GPIB reads must be preceded by a write of the associated query command to the device.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller the default setting. The software must issue the N2 command before floating point mode is enabled. The numeric mode is not saved in memory. Thus a program should always issue an N2 command upon startup to place the Model 2090 in floating point mode. TYPICAL FLOW OF CODE: 1. Initialize device a. Query ID string to determine model and firmware version. (Used to determine what features are supported.) b. Configure status reporting if supported and desired. c.
Using the GPIB Command Set with the Model 2090 Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller CODE SAMPLE 1 The following code segment gives a brief example of the scan function implemented using Visual Basic. It will set the limits of both a tower and turntable, set them both for infinite scan count, initiate scan mode on both devices, and monitor the current position for ten seconds.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller controlling program, the only reason a program needs to check the current position is to update a position display for the user. The user cannot possibly respond to data faster than ten times a second. CODE SAMPLE 2 This code segment is significantly more advanced. It uses the *OPC? command to determine when a device has quit moving and takes into account possible problems due to overshoot and undershoot.

Using the GPIB Command Set with the Model 2090 Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller GPIB STATUS REPORTING The Model 2090 supports the ANSI/IEEE 488.2 Standard Interface Protocols for GPIB interfaces. As such, it is capable of reporting various device status conditions and requesting service over the GPIB. When used properly, these capabilities allow programmers to develop powerful applications that can handle almost any condition the controller may encounter.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Figure 6 Status Reporting Model The Service Request Enable Register allows the bits of the Status Byte Register to generate a Service Request. The bit pattern of this register corresponds to that of the Status Byte Register. A Service Request is generated any time one of the bits in the Status Byte Register makes a transition from FALSE to TRUE while the corresponding bit in the Service Request Enable Register is TRUE.
Using the GPIB Command Set with the Model 2090 Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Byte Register is TRUE and the corresponding bit in the Service Request Enable Register makes a transition from FALSE to TRUE due to a command from the controlling program. The *SRE GPIB command is used to set the value of the register and the *SRE? command is used to query the current setting. The Status Byte Register is the heart of the status reporting system. All other status registers and queues are represented here.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller Status (MSS) -orRequest Service (RQS) remaining bits of the Status Byte Register and the Status Byte Enable Register is non-zero. This value is returned in response to a *STB? query. Set when a Service Request has been generated (when the controller's GPIB SRQ line is asserted). This value is returned in response to a Serial Poll. 7 - Undefined A GPIB device informs the controlling program of a condition which needs attention by issuing a Service Request.
Using the GPIB Command Set with the Model 2090 Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller The Serial Poll Response Byte is the value returned to the controlling program in response to a Serial Poll of the GPIB bus. The value of the response is the value of the Status Byte Register of the polled device where bit six is the value of the RQS (Request Service) flag. A Serial Poll is a GPIB command issued by the controlling program to request that a device on the GPIB bus return the value of its Status Byte Register.

Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller The following table gives typical causes for the recoverable errors: E001 E002 NVM Initialization Error This error indicates that the Model 2090’s parameter settings were lost and restored to factory defaults. This usually indicates that the NVM backup batteries are dead and should be replaced. See the procedure in the section “NVRAM Battery Backup” in Appendix B: Maintenance, for more information.
Appendix C: Model 2090 Error Code Reference Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller normally, but the display does not change, or changes randomly, this usually indicates a failure of the encoder, its electrical connection to the interface and control board, or the mechanical linkages between the encoder and the motor.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller E003 Device Will Not Stop This error indicates that the device is still moving several seconds after the motor has been deactivated. If this error occurs and the device continues moving under its own power, remove power from the device immediately and contact ETS-Lindgren for service. This error is more often caused by excessive overshoot of a device.
Appendix C: Model 2090 Error Code Reference Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller cause this problem. On split phase motors, a failure of the start capacitor or start winding may also cause this error. Failure of drive relays, the encoder, or bad connections between the interface/control board and the rest of the electronics may also be causes. E005 Hardware Limit Hit This indicates that the device has reached a mechanical limit.
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller E007 Communication Lost This indicates that the Model 2090 has lost communication with the motor base. This is the only automatically recoverable error, where, if communication is restored, the Model 2090 will automatically clear the error condition. If the user clears the error and communication has not been restored, the Model 2090 will indicate an offline condition by displaying five dashes (-----) in the display.
Appendix C: Model 2090 Error Code Reference 164 Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller E009 Encoder Failure This error indicates that the Model 2090 has detected behavior indicative of an encoder problem. These behaviors include large jumps in reported position and intermittent small reverses in direction (below the Moving Wrong Direction threshold).
