Introduction MXH Multiplier Option Manual
Chapter 1: MXHMultiplier Board
1.1. Introduction
Aerotech's MXH series multipliers are the ideal solution for high-resolution system requirements. The MXH
multiplier board is designed for use with rotary or linear sine wave encoders to increase encoder resolution.
The MXH series uses high-performance interpolation electronics to increase resolution by up to x2000.
The MXH model offers multiplication factors up to x2000. A linear encoder with a 4 µm grating period can
have resolution as fine as 2 nm.
Unlike most multiplication devices, the MXH doesn't sacrifice speed. A 32 MHz clock assures high speed
and high resolution. For example, with a resolution as fine as 8 nm, speeds of over 250 mm/s are achievable.
Aerotech's Dedication to the Science of Motion is reflected in some of the unique features of the MXH
series. Not only does the MXH boast industry-leading data rates, but for atypical resolution requirements,
Aerotech can create custom multiplication factors. This level of flexibility is unmatched by the competition
and is a result of our years of experience in the high-accuracy positioning market.
The MXH interface uses standard 25-pin D-type connectors, eliminating the need for expensive and hard to
find connectors. Limit switch and Hall-effect signals pass through the MXH, resulting in a more efficient
cabling scheme.
Figure 1-1: MXH Multiplier Board
www.aerotech.com Chapter 1 9

10 Chapter 1 www.aerotech.com
The MXH multiplier board connects between the encoder and the appropriate axis controller. Refer to Figure
1-2 for an example configuration. This connection does not affect Hall effect or limit signals; instead, it is a
simple add-in that uses mostly standard cables.

2.4, etc.). From MXH256 to MXH512, multiplication selections are possible in x1.0 increments.

1.2. Multiplier Signals
The multiplier board accepts 1 V peak-to-peak voltage input signals. The outputs are square wave, RS-422
TTL compatible signals. The input marker signal is expected to be active high and located at the 255° point of
the 360° electrical cycle. The plots illustrated in Figure 1-3 show typical input and output signals (cosine,
sine, and marker).

1.3. Multiplier Board Setup
The MXH Multiplier is designed to work with perfectly sinusoidal signals with no DC bias (offset). The actual
magnitude of the sine and cosine signals is not as important as the value of one signal relative to the other.
The MXH multiplier is a “ratio-metric” device, which means that the sine and cosine signals should be
adjusted for equal peak amplitudes. Any gain imbalance between the sine and cosine signals will result in
cyclic interpolation errors in the MXH output.
Any DC bias (offset) in sine or cosine will also cause cyclic interpolation errors in the multiplied output.
The gain and DC bias can be adjusted for each signal on the MXH multiplier circuit board.
1.3.1. Oscilloscope
Generally, systems operating at less than optimum performance due to interpolation errors will exhibit the
following symptoms:
1. A constant whining noise can be heard when running at low speeds.
2. At high speeds, a chirping noise can be heard when the table is accelerating and decelerating.
3. Using Aerotech’s application software as a diagnostic tool, a harmonic or a sub-harmonic of the
fundamental encoder frequency may be seen in the position error or velocity error plots of the axis
scope window.
1.3.2. Equipment and Tools Required
1. A two-channel oscilloscope capable of being isolated from ground and displaying a Lissajou pattern (X,
Y) of the sine and cosine encoder signals
2. Small slotted tip screwdriver or adjustment tool.
N O T E : The amplified signals can not exceed 4V peak-to-peak or a loss of accuracy occurs.
www.aerotech.com Chapter 1 11

12 Chapter 1 www.aerotech.com
1.3.3. Adjustment Procedure
1. Verify that oscilloscope is isolated from ground.
N O T E : An oscilloscope that is not isolated may cause permanent damage to the multiplier.
2. Connect signal common of scope to TP5 (2.5 VDC reference voltage), channel A scope probe to TP10
(COS-N), and channel B scope probe to TP9 (SIN-N). Refer to Figure 1-6 for MXH part locations.
3. Display encoder signals as a Lissajou pattern on the oscilloscope (x y mode).
4. Set channels A & B of the oscilloscope for 0.5 VDC per division, and zero the scope reference to the
center of the display.
5. Move table over the entire range of travel at a low speed, and verify that the peak to peak amplitude of
the circular pattern is between 2 to 3.9 Vp-p.
6. Move the table to the area where the amplitude is the largest, and verify or adjust for the following. (See
Diagram A – Diagram H in Figure 1-4 and Figure 1-5 for examples.)
i. COS-N gain is 3.8 Vp-p (+/- 0.1 Vp-p). Adjust R16 if necessary.
ii. COS-N DC offset is 0 VDC (+/- 0.1 VDC). Adjust R15 if necessary.
iii. SIN-N gain is equal to COS-N gain (+/- 0.1 Vp-p). Adjust R18 if necessary.
iv. SIN-N DC offset is 0 VDC (+/- 0.1 VDC). Adjust R17 if necessary.
v. Phase error is 0 degrees (+/- 4.5 Degrees). Adjust R14 if necessary.
vi. Repeat steps 6i through 6v.
7. Move table over the entire range of travel at a low speed and verify the following information in Table 1-
2.

1.4. Hardware Configurations
The amplified input signals at Test Points TP9 and TP10 (refer to Figure 1-6 for locations) should be
configured for normal 3.8 V peak-to-peak signals, see the explanation in Section 1.3. However, the multiplier
board has an acceptable range of amplified input signals from 2V peak-to-peak to 4V peak-to-peak.
The following sections discuss the hardware used to configure the MXH multiplier board. The hardware is
accessible by removing two screws securing the dust cover to the board.
1.4.1. Fault Circuitry (JP1) (Rev A Only)
The fault circuitry detects input signal magnitudes below 0.5 Volt peak-to-peak. If a fault is detected, all
outputs are set to a high impedance state. Fault detection is enabled with jumper JP1 in. Removing JP1
defeats fault detection. For jumper location, refer to Figure 1-6.
1.4.2. Marker Pulse Jumper (JP4)
The marker pulse jumper in the default setting of JP4 sets the pulse width to the minimum pulse width. In
this case, the marker is one output pulse wide and is qualified with the input marker. When JP4 is out, the
marker signal of the encoder is an output and is the same width as the input pulse and no qualification is
performed. For jumper location, refer to Figure 1-6.
1.4.3. Reset Circuitry (JP5)
The default setting (jumper in) of the reset circuitry jumper (JP5) resets the board if a fault is detected. The
faults that can occur are a loss of 5V, loss of clock signal, and low input signal magnitudes.

Introduction MXH Multiplier Option Manual
1.4.6. Connectors (J1 and J2)
There are two connectors on the MXH multiplier board; J1, which receives signals from a sinusoidal
encoder, and J2, that outputs the frequency-multiplied RS-422 pulses. The “multiplied” signals are then
taken to the controller through the breakout or interface boards. J1 is a 25-pin female “D” style connector. J2
is a 25-pin male “D” style connector. The pinouts for these connectors are listed in Table 1-5 and Table 1-6.
The MXH box only uses the SIN, COS, and Marker signals. Hall effect, Limit, and the rest of the signals are
passed directly through the MXH box with minor or no modification. As with any high frequency signal
transfer over cables, strict guidelines for interconnecting cables should be followed for noise-less, properly
phased signal delivery. Figure 1-7 is an illustration of the MXH encoder cable with the pinouts.
