SMC-RC Remote Control for SMC100CC Quick Start
1EDH0214En1010 — 12/05
SMC-RC Quick Start
1.0 Overview
The SMC-RC is a remote control keypad for the SMC100CC motion con-
troller. It allows basic use of the SMC100CC controller without a computer
and features a 16 characters position display and four push buttons for con-
figuration, jogging, homing, and enabling/disabling motors. It comes with a
0.5 m long helix cable that plugs to the KEYPAD connector on the
SMC100CC.
CAUTION
The SMC-RC remote control keypad is only compatible with SMC100CC
with firmware version V2.00 or higher.
CAUTION
Before connecting or using the SMC-RC remote control keypad, it is
very important to read carefully the general safety precautions on
page 2 of the SMC100CC User’s Manual.
High jog deceleration: Equal to the default acceleration (see value set in
the software utility or with the AC command).
Low jog velocity: Equal to the default velocity (see value set in the
software utility or with the VA command) divided
by 1000.
Low jog acceleration: Low jog velocity / 2s (means final velocity is
reached after 2 seconds).
Low jog deceleration: Equal to the default acceleration (see value set in
the software utility or with the AC command).
NOTE
Any jog motion always respects the software limits (see settings in the
software utility or with the SL and SR commands). When approaching a
software limit, the controller decelerates with the programmed accelera-
tion even if the jog buttons are pressed.
Pressing the Exec. button when the three most right letters are DIS, gets
the controller to the DISABLE state. In DISABLE state the motor is not ener-
gized and the control loop is open. But the encoder is still read and the cur-
rent position gets updated. The DISABLE state can be used for instance for
manual adjustments or to make sure that no energy goes to the motor. To
go from DISABLE state to the JOGGING state, press the Exec. button again.
The buttons of the keypad can get disabled by the JD command.
NOTE
The keypad does not allow stopping any motion started from a computer
(all buttons are disabled when the controller is in MOVING state). To
take computer control when the controller is in JOGGING state the con-
troller must first get to the READY state (change state from the software
utility or by using the JD command).

SMC-RC Remote Control for SMC100CC Quick Start
3.0 SMC100CC with SMC-RC Keypad
The SMC-RC keypad allows basic use of the SMC100CC controller without a
computer. It features a 16 characters position display and four push but-
tons for configuration, jogging, homing, and enabling/disabling motors. It
can be also used in parallel to a computer control.
If not already done, carefully unpack and visually inspect the SMC100CC
controller, the SMC-RC keypad, all stages and all accessories for any dam-
age. Place all components on a flat and clean surface.
Connect the SMC-RC to the SMC100CC (KEYPAD connector).
Connect your stage to the SMC100CC (MOTOR connector).
Connect the SMC100CC to the SMC-PS80 (DC IN connector).
Connect the SMC-PS80 to power.
During the initialization, the SMC100CC controller checks if a SMC-RC key-
pad is connected. If so, it checks whether all buttons are open (not
pressed). If not, an error message gets generated.
NOTE
The SMC100CC does not recognize an SMC-RC after the initialization.
Also, disconnecting the SMC-RC from the controller and reconnecting
without reinitializing the controller does not work.
To reinitialize the SMC100CC controller, temporarily disconnect from
power and reconnect again, or send the RS command.
When using the SMC100CC for the first time with a Newport ESP compatible
stage (see blue label on the product) a message AUTOCONFIG ? YES
gets displayed for about 5 seconds. Press the Exec. button to configure the
SMC100CC to the connected stage. Once done, this message gets not dis-
played anymore during later initialization unless the SMC100CC recognizes
a different Newport ESP compatible stage than the one it is configured to.
This message gets also not displayed if the controller is already configured
correctly using the SMC100CC software utility.
After successful initialization, the controller is in the NOT REFERENCED
state and the display displays +0.00000 HOM (for more details about the
SMC100CC states, please refer to section 5.1). Press the Exec. button to
home the stage. The stage starts moving to its home position. When done,
the display shows +0.00000 JOG. The digital value indicates the current
position of the stage. The default units for Newport positioners are millime-
ters for linear stages and actuators, and degrees for rotation stages.
Pressing the Exec. button again gets the controller to the JOGGING state
and the display changes to +0.00000 DIS. The jog buttons “<”, “<< >>”, and
“>” are now enabled. Pressing the “<” (jog left) or “>” (Jog right) button
starts a motion at slow velocity and with slow acceleration. Releasing the
button stops the motion. These slow speed motion are ideal for precise
adjustments. Pressing the “<” (jog left) or “>” (Jog right) button and the “<<
>>” (high speed) simultaneously starts a high speed motion. These high
speed motion are ideal for coarse adjustments. The jog speed and jog
acceleration settings are as follow:
High jog velocity: Equal to the default velocity (see value set in the
software utility or with the VA command).
High jog acceleration: High jog velocity / 2s (means final velocity is
reached after 2 seconds).
