I-8091 2-axis Stepping/Servo Motor Control Card
The I-8091 card is a 2-axis command-type stepping motor control card
on I-8000 platform, it also can be used as servo motor control (pulse input
type). This card has an embedded CPU which performs motion commands
transfered from I-8000 main system to increase the system performance. A
2Kbytes-FIFO is introduced as command buffer. This buffer can provide over
700ms buffer time.
A system including I-8000(main system), I-8091(2-axis stepping/servo
control card), I-8090(3-axis encoder card) can be implemented as a stand
along motion controller system for low cost automatical machine.
Features
 I-8000 series.
 2-axis independent, simultaneous stepping motor control / servo motor
control (pulse input type).
 Maximum pulse rate: 1Mpps.
 Maximum step counts: steps.

1.2 DDA Technology
The DDA chip is the heart of I-8091 card, it will generate equal-space
pulse train corresponding to specific pulse number during a DDA period.
This mechanism is very useful to execute pulse generation and
interpolation function. The DDA period can be determined by DDA cycle.
Table(1) shows the relation among DDA cycle, DDA period and output
pulse rate. When DDA cycle set to 1, the DDA period is equal to
(1+1)x1.024ms = 2.048ms. The output pulse number can be set to 0~2047,
therefore the maximum output pulse rate will be 1Mpps. The minimum
output pulse rate is 3.83pps when set DDA cycle=254 (DDA period =
(254+1)x1.024ms = 261.12ms).

The DDA cycle can be set by i8091_SET_VAR() command which decribed
in charpter 3. The selection criterion of DDA cycle was described as
following.

2. The required speed resolution.
The maximum output pulse number is Np(0~2047), therefore
the speed resolution is Vmax(max. speed)/Np. The DDA cycle
can be obtained by following equation.

3. When choose large DDA cycle (DDA period), it will occur
vibration between different pulse input which generally can be
observed during acceleration or deceleration. So, the small

as the speed resolution is acceptable.
Example: Stepping Motor
The specification of stepping motor is 500 pulse/rev, max. speed 500
rpm, speed resolution 2 rpm.
The required max. pulse rate
PRmax = 500 rpm*500/60 = 4166.67 pps

High Speed = 247 pulse (4166.67*58*0.001024)
The above results means that maximum speed is 500rpm when send
command i8091_SET_VAR(0, 58, 2, 2, 247) to I-8091 card.
Example: Pulse type input Servo Motor
The specification of servo motor is 8000 pulse/rev, max. speed 3000 rpm,
speed resolution 2 rpm.
