Guidance on use of VCSMs
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the production and handling of UHV components. The successful application of vacuum stepper motors requires an appreciation of their thermal as well as their mechanical properties. Compared to motors operated in a...
Maintenance and service
The SMD4 contains no user-serviceable parts. Cleaning If the instrument requires cleaning, disconnect the power and all other connections, and wipe it down with a cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Problem Resolution Red and green status indicators off Check that the power supply to SMD4 is correctly connected and meets the requirements given in section Technical Information Red status indicator flashing or lit solidly Each i...
Storage and disposal
The product must be disposed of in accordance with the relevant local regulations for the environmentally safe disposal of systems and electronical components. In the United Kingdom (UK) and European Union (EU), waste from electrical and electro...
Assistance
In the first instance, contact the distributor or supplier of the equipment. Always quote the serial number of the instrument and firmware and software versions. Provide a written description of the problem. If the problem is related to a motor or mechanism ma...
Remote interfaces
The SMD4 offers 3 communication interfaces, USB, Ethernet and Serial. The serial interface is dual mode, and can be configured for RS232 or RS485. Multiple interfaces can be connected and in use at the same time. All interfaces use a text-based communication p...
Communications protocol
A simple text-based protocol is used. Commands are sent to the SMD4, checked and executed, and a response returned. Data are buffered on receipt and commands are evaluated and executed on a first in first out basis. Although not a requirement, it is usually ea...
