DSCDP Hardware Manual 7
1.2 DSCDP presentation
1.2.1 Working principle
The DSCDP is a digital position controller. It has been designed for direct drive applications. Its power bridge
PWM switching is determined by the motor position encoder. The DSCDP includes on a single board, the
control circuits, the power bridge and all the necessary interfaces for the communication, the encoders and the
inputs/outputs for two motors. The housed model includes also a power supply on the same board, inside the
same housing.
1.2.2 Applications
The DSCDP can drive two, single-phase, two-phase or/and three-phase motors. You can obtain brushless
torque and linear motors from ETEL, as well as moving coils and moving magnets. The DSCDP can drive these
motors and also brushless motors, DC motors, steppers (only if three-phase motors are star-connected). They
must also be implemented with analog (incremental or absolute (EnDat 2.1)) or TTL encoders available on the
market. Digital Hall effect sensor can also be connected to the controller (with firmware from version 1.12A). It
is also possible to drive stepper motors in open loop (no need of encoder in this case) with firmware from
version 1.14A.
1.2.3 General operating conditions
The DSCDP is designed to operate in a non-aggressive and clean environment, with a humidity rate ranging
between 10% and 85%, an altitude < 2000m (6562 ft), and a temperature ranging between +15°C (59°F) and
+40°C (104°F) for the rack format or +30°C (86°F) for the housed format. The DSCDP must be connected to
an electrical network of overvoltage category 2 (refer to EN 50178 and UL 840 standards for more information)
and is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5000 Arms, symmetrical amperes, 400
volts maximum. The electronics must be in an enclosure respecting a pollution degree of 2 (refer to UL 508C
and EN 50178 standards for more information). The DSCDP is not designed or intended for use in the on-line
control of air traffic, aircraft navigation and communications as well as critical components in life support
systems or in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of any nuclear facility.
1.2.4 Transport and storage conditions
During the transport and the storage, the controller must remain inside its original packaging. The transport
conditions must respect the class 2K3 of the IEC 60721-3-2 standard (temperature between -25°C and +70°C,
and humidity < 95% without condensation) and the storage conditions must respect the class 1K2 of the IEC
60721-3-1 standard (temperature between +5°C and +45°C, and humidity between 5 and 85% without
condensation).
1.2.5 Interfaces possibilities
Motor and its position encoder
To control the position (in closed loop) of a rotary and/or linear motor, the DSCDP needs a signal coming from
an analog (incremental or absolute (EnDat 2.1)) or a TTL encoder linked to this or these motor(s). It is also
possible to drive stepper motors in open loop (no need of encoder in this case).
Communication
The user can set the DSCDP with a PC (Win 9x/2000/NT/XP) using the ETEL Tools (ETT) software through
the ETEL-Bus-Lite2 (RS232 / RS422) communication port. Refer to the 'EBL2 Communication Manual' for
more information.
The DSCDP also includes ETEL's Turbo-ETEL-Bus (TEB) whichis a high speed field bus based on an Ethernet
100 Mbps chip. It includes all features to interpolate complex movements with several synchronized DSCDPs,
if ETEL's DSMAX motion controller is installed in a PC and linked to the TEB. If ETEL Tools is installed on the
same PC than the DSMAX (or DSTEB) board, all the DSCDPs can be set through the TEB. The user can 'daisy
chain' up to 31 nodes on the TEB (15 DSCDPs (30 axes) and one DSMAX (or DSTEB) board).
Caution: The TEB is not compatible with Ethernet boards available on the market. Therefore, do not
connect the TEB on the Ethernet port of your PC.
Inputs / outputs
The customer's inputs / outputs are digital signals coming from a CNC machine-tool, a PLC or a joystick for
example (refer to the connection diagram next page).
The electrical interface details are given in §3.

2. Models characteristics
Three models of DSCDP are available, according to the needs:
1. Rack format with plate heat sink (refer to §2.1)
2. Rack format with extruded heat sink (refer to §2.1)
These 2 models are dedicated to be mounted inside a standard 6U rack case. They do not include any power
supply board and need to be powered through their DC power connector (JC15) by an external power supply
(the ETEL DSO-PWS power module, e.g.), ideally installed inside the rack case.
3. Housed format with power supply (refer to §2.2)
This controller is a 'stand alone' controller. It includes a complete controller with its power supply inside the
same housing. The main difference between the rack formats and the housed format concerns the power
supply connectors.
2.1 Rack format
There are two different sizes of DSCDP rack format: the DSCDPxx1–xxx (10F wide) and the DSCDPxx2–xxx
(14F wide).

2.1.2 Block schematics
In the DSCDP rack formats, all parts are on a single board: the servo board. They need to be powered by an
external power supply. The power supply developed by ETEL (refer to the 'DSO-PWS User's Manual' for
more information) is designed to fit most applications. If you use another power supply, it must meet all the
specifications written on the next page. On the servo board, the power part and the control part are galvanically
separated. The inputs and outputs are insulated from the control part by opto-couplers.
Remark: M1 and M2 represent the motor 1 and the motor 2 respectively.
(*): it is possible to plug an EnDat 2.1 encoder (D-Sub 15 pins high density connector) but only
with the DSCDP3xx-xxx version.
Caution: The GND is internally connected to the DSCDP front panel which is connected to the
ground (PE).
The power GND is not connected to the ground (PE).

2.1.3 Ratings
To meet the specifications listed below, it is recommended to use an ETEL power supply (DSO-PWS). There
are two different types of 10F wide rack formats (the DSCDPx21-xxx and the DSCDPx31-xxx) and one type of
14F wide rack format (the DSCDPx32-xxx).
All the specifications are given for an ambient temperature ranging from +15°C (59°F) to +40°C (104°F)
and with an air flow of 2 m/s (400 LFM) inside the rack case:
Remark: The values given in the following table are valid for each motor.
(1): Continuous current can be reached only with forced air cooling (external fan necessary: refer to §2.1.4).
(2): With optional board mounted on the DSCDP, no external device connected to the I/O. The current can
change depending on the type(s) of encoder(s) used.
Note: for DSCDPxxx-x2x, the DC current is equal to 450 mA at 48 VDC.
Remark: With PWM at 18 kHz, the current ripple in the motor is at 36 kHz.
With two-phase motor, the current in 'motor phase 1- / 2-' (pin 3 of JC7 and JC11 connectors) is
equal to (√2 x motor phase 1+) or (√2 x motor phase 2+). Be careful to use the suitable cable

2.1.4 Mounting systems – Installation requirements
The DSCDP rack formats are dedicated to be mounted inside a rack case system.
Warning: The rack case with the controllers and the power supply has the following electrical
safety degree: IP 20 (according to EN 60529 standard). To respect this degree, each
empty slot (if a controller is not present in the rack case) must be closed by a front
panel. The rack case must be in anenclosure respecting a pollution degree of 2 (refer
to UL 508C and EN 50178 standards for more information).
The rack formats are mounted vertically inside a rack case. Here is an example
In the solution outlined above, seven DSCDPxx1-xxx are powered by a DSO-PWS (ETEL's power supply).
The rack case systems should be protected against any splashes of liquid and any contacts with smoke and
dust. It must be installed inside a closed cabinet and screwed on a metallic plate, connected to the ground,
where no vibration will occur.
Fresh air is necessary to cool the controllers inside the rack case (the flow depends on the user application). It
is recommended to install fans in the cabinet to guarantee an air flow (the fan power depends on the user
application). Caution: some fans may perturb the current measurement of the controller if they are too
close to the rack case. If this problem occurs, use another type of fan or increase the distance between
the fan and the rack case while ensuring the air flow mentioned hereafter. The air flow inside ETEL's rack
cases with fans is equal to minimum 2 m/s (400 LFM) (the fans, used with the rack case, have an air flow of
94.2 CFM). Refer to the 'DSO-RAC2 Hardware Manual' for more information about the rack case.

2.2.2 Block schematics
The housed format contains two boards: the servo board and the power supply board. On the servo board, the
power part and the control part are galvanically separated. The inputs and outputs are insulated from the
control part by opto-couplers.
Caution: The GND is internally connected to the DSCDP front panel which is connected to the
ground (PE).
The power GND is not connected to the ground (PE).

2.2.3 Ratings
There are two different types of DSCDP housed formats: the DSCDPx24-xxx and the DSC2Px34-xxx.
All the specifications are given for an ambient temperature ranging from +15°C (59°F) to +30°C (86°F):
Remark: The values given in the following table are valid for each motor.
(1): With optional board mounted on the DSCDP, no external device connected to the I/O. The current can
change depending on the type(s) of encoder(s) used. A current equal to about twice the above-mentioned
value can be necessary to switch on the controller (because of the trigger pulse).
Remark: With PWM at 18 kHz, the current ripple in the motor is at 36 kHz.
With two-phase motor, the current in 'motor phase 1- / 2-' (pin 3 of JC7 and JC11 connectors) is
equal to (√2 x motor phase 1+) or (√2 x motor phase 2+). Be careful to use the suitable cable
diameter.
For an ambient temperature exceeding +30°C, a derating of 0.3 A per degree must be applied on
the above-mentioned current values
The values given in the above-mentioned table are given for a sinusoidal output current with a
frequency higher than 0.5 Hz. The losses induced by a AC current are shared between the
transistors. A DC current heat up only some of the IGBTs and can induce their breakdown after
10 minutes if the current is near the maximum full load.
