53A-571 SYNCHRO/DIGITAL CARD
DESCRIPTION
The 53A-571 Synchro/Digital Card is a printed circuit board assembly for use in a CDS 53/63
Series System. The 53A-571 Card consists of one or two independent 16 bit synchro/digital
converter channels. The second channel is included when Option 001 to the 53A-571 Card is
ordered. When the 53/63 system controller requests input from either channel, a 6-digit decimal
number preceded by a period is returned. For the channel selected, this number (0.000000 -
0.999999) represents the incoming 3-wire synchro-angle as a fraction of 360°.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
The following controls and indicators are provided to select and display the functions of the
53A-571 Card's operating environment.
Address Select Switch
The 53A-571 Card has a miniature 10-position switch which selects the card's address (0-9) in
the 53/63 Series System. Open the switch's cover and use a screwdriver with a narrow, flat
blade to turn the cam-action wiper to the desired position.
Power LED
The Power LED provides a valuable diagnostic tool by giving the system programmer a visual
indication of the action which the system is currently taking. Whenever the 53A-571 Card is
addressed by the system controller, the Power LED goes out. The LED remains out until
another function card is addressed. Since only one function card can be addressed at a time,
an unlit Power LED indicates the function card with which the system controller is currently
communicating. The Power LED being lit not only indicates that the 53A-571 Card is
unaddressed, but that all required dc power (5V dc, +15V dc) is being supplied.
Fuses
The 5V dc, and +15V dc power buses each have a fuse that protects the system from overloads.
If a fuse has blown, the Power LED will not light.
Quadrant LEDs
Each channel has four quadrant LEDs, "QD1", "QD2", "QD3", and "QD4". The quadrant LEDs
for a channel indicate the quadrant of the last angle read from that channel. When the 53/63
Series System powers up, the quadrant LEDs are unlit. They remain unlit until a channel
571 - 1

Front Edge Connector Inputs And Outputs
•Svnchro Analog Inputs
Each channel has three synchro-analog inputs for inputting the angular value in synchro
format.
AC Reference Inputs
Each channel has an independent AC reference input (Ref HI and Ref LO) that provides
areference frequency for the 53A-571 that is equal to the frequency of the
synchro-analog inputs.
The polarity conventions for the synchro analog inputs and AC reference inputs are as
follows. Si, S2, and S3 are the synchro-analog inputs; RHI and RLO are the AC reference
inputs, high and low, respectively. 6 represents the position of the synchro shaft.
S3-SI = (RHI-RLO) sin 8
S2-S3 = (RHI-RL0) sin (8 +120°)
S1-S2 = (RHI-RL0) sin + 240°)
S3-S1 will be in phase with RH,-RLo when sin 6 is positive, and 180 degrees out of phase
with RH,-RL0 when sin 8 is negative.
S2-S3 will be in phase with RH,-RL0 when sin (0 + 120°) is positive, and 180 degrees out
of phase with R„,-RL0 when sin (8+ 120°) is negative.
S1-S2 will be in phase with RH,-RLO when sin (6+ 240°) is positive, and 180 degrees out
of phase with R,,,-RL0 when sin (8+ 240°) is negative.
DC Reference Out
The DC reference voltage output (+7.5V DC nominal) is used as the reference voltage
with respect to which the Error Out signal and the Velocity Out signal are measured.
CAUTION:
DC Reference Out should not be tied to ground.
Error Out
The Error Out signal, one line for each channel, is the filtered AC voltage measured by
sin (0 - 41). 8 is the actual synchro input angle, and (I) is the 16-bit digital angle
representing the current S/D converter output. A difference between angle 8 and angle
(I) reflects the tracking error between the instantaneous synchro input angle and the last
S/D conversion. The Error Out signal, a dynamic signal, is created when the 53A-571
digital output attempts to follow the analog input. Under static conditions, this error
output is zero. The Error Out signal is referenced to the 7.5V DC Reference signal. The
average signal amplitude at nominal input voltage (11.8V RMS) for +1 LSB of error
[equivalent to (0 -413) = 0.00551 is 16 mV RMS.
Velocity Out
The Velocity Out signal, one line for each channel, measures the rate of change of the
Error Out signal. A +I V DC output corresponds to a +0.5 rps (revolutions per second) rate
of change for 400 Hz units. The Velocity Out signal is measured with respect to the 7.5V
DC reference voltage.
571 - 2

NOTE: If the Error Out signal and the Velocity Out signal are to be used, each signal must
feed to a separate high input of a differential amplifier. The DC reference voltage
must then connect to the low inputs of these amplifiers.
The 53A-571 Card, as shipped from the factory, does not have the Error Out and Velocity
Out signals connected to their respective front edge connector signal pins. To use these
signals the two round "pads" located directly behind each signal pin must be connected
with a jumper.

OPERATION
•
Overview
The 53A-571 Card is programmed by ASCII characters issued from the system controller to the
53/63 System's communications card. The 53A-571 Card interfaces to the communications card
through the 53 Series or 63 Series Card Cage's backplane. When the 53/63 Series System powers
up, the 53A-571 Card is unaddressed (power LED lit).
To address a function card for the first time, the system command "@XY" must be issued. "X"
is the mainframe address (0-9) selected on the 53A-171 Control Card for that mainframe; "Y"
is the card address (0-9) within that mainframe. The 53A-571 Card address is selected using
the card's Address Select Switch. Once a function card is addressed, it remains addressed until
the system receives another "@" character. Appendix A fully discusses the "@XY" command
and the other 53/63 Series System commands. After the 53A-571 Card is addressed, the
following commands may be issued until another function card is addressed:
Card Commands
The 53A-571 Card commands are as follows:
Aselects channel A for input requests until a B command is issued.
Bselects channel B for input requests until an A ,command is issued.
NOTE: Carriage-return <CR>, line-feed <LF>, space, or null characters that follow the A
or B command do not affect operation.
Examples:
Command Action
@05A Selects channel A for data to be sent to the system controller. The
53A-57I Card address is mainframe 0, card address 5. The Power LED
is out.
@32B Selects channel B for data to be sent to the system controller. The
53A-571 Card address is mainframe 3, card address 2. The Power LED
is out.
Input Request For the channel selected, an input request returns the synchro input
angle (0.0000 - 359.9999) as a 6-digit decimal fraction (.000000 - .999999)
of 360°. Using the system controller to multiply this fraction by 360
converts the fraction to a value measured in degrees, represented by 8
Example:
Decimal fraction returned =0.684339
8 = 0.684339 x 360° = 246.3620°
571 - 6

The synchro-analog input is strobed on each input request; there is no
need to re-address the channel with an A or B command to get an
updated reading.
The synchro voltage inputs, S3-S1, S2-S3 and S1-S2 required for a reading of 0 in degrees, are
found by the following equations:
S3-SI = 11.8 sin A V RMS
S2-S3 = 11.8 sin (0 +120°) V RMS
S1-S2 = 11.8 sin (A +240°) V RMS
Using e = 246.3620 from the example above, the results are:
S3-S1 = 10.81V RMS out of phase (with respect to RHI-Ri.o)
S2-S3 = 1.31V RMS in phase (with respect to RHI-RL0)
S1-S2 = 9.50V RMS in phase (with respect to RHI-RLo)
Figure 1 shows the differential reference and the three differential synchro inputs for this
example. Note that all synchro inputs are always either in phase or 180 degrees out of phase
with respect to the reference. The ratio between the amplitudes of the three differential inputs
(not phase angle difference) determines the angular value represented by a synchro signal.

INSTALLATION
•
•
The 53A-571 Card is a function card; therefore, it may be installed in any blue, card slot.
Setting the Address Select switch defines the card's programming address. To avoid confusion,
it is recommended that the slot number and the programming address be the same.
CAUTION:
To avoid plugging the card in backwards, observe the following:
a. Match the keyed slot on the card to the key in the backplane connector. The
component side should be to the right for a 53 Series Chassis and to the too
for a 63 Series Chassis.
b. There are two ejectors on the card. Make sure the ejector marked "53A-571"
is at the Liu for a 53 Series Chassis and to the left for a 63 Series Chassis.
CAUTION:
The 53A-571 Card is a piece of electronic equipment and therefore has some
susceptibility to electrostatic damage (ESD). ESD precautions must be taken whenever
the module is handled.

53/63 SERIES SYSTEM COMMANDS
Command Description
@XY The @XY (Address) command addresses a function card in the 53/63 Series System.
@ is a delimiter used by the 53/63 Series System.
Xis a card cage address (0-9) defined by the Address Select switch on the 53A-171
Control Card in the addressed card cage.
Yis a function-card address (0-9) defined by the Address Select switch on the
function card. Once a card cage/function-card combination is addressed, it
remains addressed until the 53/63 Series System detects a new @ character.
@XH The @XH (Halt) command halts all function cards within the card cage defined by
X. This command does not affect function cards in other card cages. How a
function card reacts to the @XH command depends on the particular card. If the
53A-571 Card is addressed (Power LED out) when a "@XH" command is received,
the card will become unaddressed (Power LED lit). In all cases, an addressed
function card (Power LED out) becomes unaddressed (Power LED lit).
STOP The STOP command is not a string of ASCII characters. This command is hard-
wired from the system controller to the 53/63 System's communications card in each
card cage. When the system controller issues a STOP command, each function card
(including the 53A-571 Card) reacts as if it had received the @XH command
described above.
How the system controller executes a STOP command depends on the
communications card used. For example, when using the 53A-128 IEEE-488
Communications Card, a STOP command is executed whenever the system
controller asserts the IEEE-488 bus line IFC (Interface Clear) true.
