Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller

USING A MULTI-AXIS POSITIONER

To configure a MAPS do the following for both devices:

Set

P1

to 0

; Define device as a turntable

Set

P2

to 0

; Standard Turntable

Set

C

to appropriate calibration value. See the

section “Model 2090 Parameter List” for the

calibration value.

Each axis of an ETS-Lindgren Multi-Axis Positioning

System is a single device on the Model 2090. Both devices

should be configured as a standard turntable (the Model

2090 will automatically detect the variable speed capability

of the MAPS). The main turntable base (azimuth axis)

must be configured in non-continuous rotation mode, since

the power and control cables for the second axis are run

through the center of the first. Depending on the

configuration, the ortho (elevation) axis can be continuous

or non-continuous. If additional cables are used along this

axis, it should be configured for non-continuous rotation.
