OC930-001-00 by Pacific Scientific

The Pacific Scientific OC930-001-00 motion control card is an integral component in the 105 Motion Control Cards series, offering precision command interfacing for demanding industrial automation applications. Manufactured by Pacific Scientific, this panel-mounted card supports analog, incremental digital, and serial command types and is ideally suited for integration with SC900 and SCE900 series servo drives. The card’s compact design weighs only 0.11 kg, making it an excellent choice where reduced mass is essential. Equipped with a 9-pin female D-subminiature connector (J31), the OC930-001-00 ensures a secure, reliable electrical interface for signal transmission. It can operate reliably in environments with 10%-90% non-condensing humidity, guaranteeing durability in harsh conditions.

The OC930-001-00 excels in communication flexibility, offering RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication at 9600 baud via its dual interface configuration. Address configuration is handled via a DIP switch (S1), facilitating seamless RS-485 multi-drop setups and simplifying network topology in distributed drive systems. Its onboard EEPROM memory functions as a Personality Module, storing non-volatile system parameters with a minimum write endurance of 100,000 writes and a typical endurance of 1,000,000 writes. Extensive internal diagnostic feedback circuits continuously monitor operational status, protecting against common drive faults and reducing downtime. Engineers can adjust control parameters directly over the serial link, streamlining commissioning and maintenance workflows.

Operational features highlight the card’s advanced software compatibility and upgradeability. It interfaces natively with the 930 Dialogue software, providing a user-friendly PC-based monitoring and configuration environment for real-time parameter tuning and troubleshooting. Field firmware upgrades are supported, enabling in-situ enhancements without hardware replacement and ensuring the system remains up to date. The OC930-001-00’s robust design supports stable communication under varying environmental stresses, with its panel-mount format facilitating easy access and serviceability in control cabinets. These benefits translate into reduced installation time and lower lifecycle costs.

Integration of the OC930-001-00 is straightforward: the card is designed for direct plug-in with Pacific Scientific SC900 and SCE900 servo drives, delivering consistent performance across a wide range of industrial automation applications. Its combination of industrial-grade communication, non-volatile memory storage, and diagnostic capabilities makes it ideal for robotic assembly lines, CNC machine tools, packaging machinery, and automated inspection systems. With its proven reliability and flexible command interfaces, this motion control card empowers engineers to build scalable, high-performance motion control networks with confidence.
