1.1. Product Overview
Aerotech’s DR300 Drive Chassis is an integral part in a UNIDEX 500 or UNIDEX 600
based control system. The DR300 is a 19-inch rack mount chassis with provision for
holding up to four individual amplifiers (DC servo, AC brushless, or microstepping) that
are inserted into the front of the DR300 panel. The DR300 also provides bus power for
the amplifier modules and acts as a breakout for all control and I/O signals. The back of
the DR300 contains all the cable connectors as well as descriptions for each. The DR300
Drive Chassis is shown in Figure 1-1.

1.1.1. DR300 Functions
The DR300 provides the user flexibility in a motion control system, offering several
different functions. These functions:
• Supply low and high level (bus) voltage to amplifiers
• Condition and set bus voltage levels
• Power incremental encoder feedback transducers
• Supply up to 2 high power (bus) voltages at either 40, 80, and 160 VDC levels
• Distribute all motion related signals to and from the UNIDEX 500/U600
• Distribute all motor power connections for Aerotech motor cables
• Assure a fail-safe connection to the UNIDEX 500/U600 controller.
1.1.2. DR300 Configurations
The DR300 is easily configured to the users needs and can be set up for a wide range of
applications. It can be configured to:
• House up to 4 DC servo, AC brushless, or microstepping amplifiers
• House from 1 to 4 amplifier modules
• House up to 2 transformers
• House optional brake control logic, brake power, and passive regeneration
dissipation options
• Provide all motor power connections to the amplifier modules
• Mount in a rack assembly, panel configuration
• Power up to 4 axes of motors
• Interface with a joystick or electronic hand-wheel.
Figure 1-2 illustrates a typical U500/U600 System (with the DR300 and several options
and accessories).

1.2. DR300 Options
A variety of options may be purchased with the DR300 drive chassis to enhance its
standard operation. The following sections discuss the available options.
1.2.1. The SHUNT500 Regulator Board
The SHUNT500 regulator board provides shunt regulated bus voltage. Figure 1-3 shows
the interconnections of the SHUNT500 regulator board.
Figure 1-3. SHUNT500 Wiring
The SHUNT500 board, shown in Figure 1-5, is an integral option to the DR300 used to
regulate either one of the bus power supplies (Both if Supplies are connected together).
Typically, the SHUNT500 board is required for motors operating from a 160 VDC bus
with large inertial loads, which on deceleration return the energy back into the power
supply, possibly damaging the drive module. The SHUNT500 board prevents the power
from pumping up the bus supplies by dissipating the excess energy into a 95 watt resistive
load.
The SHUNT500 board has an adjustable voltage set point and fusing. The set point for
the regulator is factory set and should not require user adjustment. However, it may be
necessary to change the fuse for the regulator circuit. This is accessible by removing the
top cover to access the fuse. The mounting location for the SHUNT500 board is shown
in Figure 1-4.

1.2.2. DRC I/O Cable
The DRC I/O cable serves two purposes when used with the DR300 Drive Chassis. The
primary use is for applications that use brushless motors with Hall effect sensors. In such
cases, the necessary Hall effect signals are not available through the standard OP500
cable, therefore, the DRC cable is connected between the UNIDEX 600/U500 and the
DR300. Different versions of the DRC I/O cable are available for (1) directly connecting
the UNIDEX 600/U500 and a PB8, PB16, or PB24 interface board to allow additional
inputs/outputs; or (2), connecting the U600/U500 to the DR300 (to provide Hall effect
inputs and extra I/O) with an additional connection for an optional PB8, PB16, or PB24
I/O board.
The second purpose is to allow more than four user inputs or outputs (as in the case when
the PB8, PB16, or PB24 I/O board is used).
Figure 1-6 is an illustration of the DRC I/O cable. Refer to Figure 1-7 for illustrations of
two versions of the DRC I/O cable.
See the U600 Hardware manual, EDU154, for complete information on using the
DRC cable. Figure 1-6 is for reference only.
The DRC cable is not needed to provide Hall effect signals when the U500 PCI
board and the DR300 rear panel interface PCB (Rev. A & later) are used.

1.2.3. DR300 Brake Option
The DR300 brake option, shown in Figure 1-8, is an integral option that provides a
fail-safe way to maintain position on a vertical axis when power is removed from that
axis. This is accomplished by means of a normally-on electromagnetic brake coupled to
the load. To release the brake, 24 VDC (typical) is applied to the brake when that axis is
enabled for motion by the UNIDEX 500 or UNIDEX 600. This option requires additional
wiring and the installation of several Brake Option components to the Drive Interface
Board and the Rear Panel Interface Board that are used to sense the switching on the
motor leads of PWM amplifiers. Additional modifications may also be included to meet
particular brake applications.

Brake output (J14) is typically 24 volts.

the machinery.
To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury when servicing the
equipment, ensure that all electrical power switches are in the off position and
disconnect main power.
To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury, extreme care must
be exercised when any electrical circuits are in use, that no person be in contact with
the circuitry.
To minimize the possibility of bodily injury prior to making any mechanical
adjustments, ensure that all electrical power switches are in the off position and
disconnect main power.

2.1. Unpacking the DR300 Drive Package
Before unpacking any components, visually inspect the container of the DR300 for any
evidence of shipping damage. If any such damage exists, notify the shipping carrier
immediately.
All electronic equipment and instrumentation are wrapped in antistatic material and
packaged with desiccant. Ensure that the antistatic material is not damaged during
unpacking.
Remove the packing list from the DR300 container. Make sure that the items specified on
the packing list are contained within the package. Certain items required for use with your
DR300 are not included within the DR300 shipping container. These items may be found
in the UNIDEX 500/600 shipping container.
• The DR300 Drive Chassis
One to four axis amplifier chassis with power supply
• The OP500 Interface Cable
12 ft, (3.6m) cable used to connect the UNIDEX 500/600 to the DR300
• AC line cord
This cable connects the DR300 Drive Chassis to an AC outlet
The DR300 should not have any of its cables connected or disconnected with power
applied, nor should any drive modules be removed or inserted into it with power
applied. Doing so may cause damage to the system or its components.

2.2. DR300 Jumper Selections and Configurations
The DR300 is already configured by the factory according to the specifications given by
the user. There should be no need to reconfigure the DR300 Chassis. However, if the
user needs to add or change the type of Amplifier for an axis, it will be necessary to
configure the slot jumpers. These jumpers are shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 and
are described in the following sections. The “BW” type slot jumpers on the Drive
Interface board are high current jumpers and are permanently soldered to the board. The
“JP” type jumpers are two pin headers that insert and pull out of a socket.
2.2.1. AC Input Voltage Configuration
See Chapter 4: Soft-Start / Voltage Selector Board (section 4.3.).
2.2.2. Rear Panel Interface Board Internal Jumpers
This section covers the configurations of the slot jumpers on the DR300 Rear Panel
Interface board. Table 2-1 lists the configurations and jumper selections for the Rear
Panel Interface Board.
There are two circuit boards with the DR300, be sure to reference the correct jumper
table for jumper settings for each board.
