Outline Figure 9-14 shows the circuit that controle the main motor and has the {allowing unctions: @ Tums the main motor ON and OFF. @ Swilches the speed of the main motor. @ Controls the speed of the main motor. The main motor is a DC motor equipped with a builtin clock pulso generator. When the motor rotates, clock pulses (MMCLK) in numbers corresponding fa the revolution of the motor are issued. Using the clock pulses, the speed controi circuit contols the speed of the motor. “The clock pulses are frequency-dvided by four, the result of which is sent to tho DC ‘contrlior PCB as clock pulses (CLKP} for ‘sequence control ‘As described in Table 3-1, tho motor rotates at three diferent speeds. The DC. Controller PCB generates the main motor Speed control signals (MMSCO, MMSC1); the high-speed reference signal and medium speed reference signal are ‘switched over by a switching circuit. The ‘look pulses generated by the motor aro also sent to the switching circuit, which in turn sends raference signals and clock pulses to the speed control circult; the Speed of the motor le controled using these ‘wo signals, ‘See Table 9-1 for the relationship bbotween the motor speed and main motor ‘speed contol signals. ‘Siostaenor trees nwiena ‘Sova erk or ine once gh eped Tow [8 [| st naa eed aon pees uote seed 3 Pern l pores Table 3-1 Mechanism Motor at Rest When MMSCO and MMSC1 are both the ONIOFF switching circuit goes ON, causing the speed control circuit and drive cirouit to go OFF.

This condition Causes the drive cuit to go ON and the main motor to rotate. “When the motor hae started to rotate, clock pulses (MMCLK) in numbers Corresponding to the revolution of the moter are sent to the speed control ‘rout. In response, tho speed control ‘ircult compares the two signals it receives. It then sends the control Signal to the deve cicult to keep the ‘ator speed constant. commen © wencavon ve. cANONN-ANREONDK so PRINTED APPR ALPE 3-18FS. OPERATIONS NO TSS The drive circuit serves to keep the revolution of the motor constant by freeing it of load fluctuations, /.e., controling the power tothe motor. Motor Rotating at Medium Speed When MMSCO is "1" and MMSC1 is 0, the medium speed reference signal is sont to the speed contol circuit. The ‘mecium speed conto signal rapresents a speed 70% of that under the high ‘speed reference signal; the rotation of the motor is controled so thatthe clock pulses (MMCLK) it generates will bo 70% of those it generates when itis rotating at high speed. Motor Rotating a Low Spoed When MMSCO is "and MMSC1 is a signal which is the high-speed reference signal frequency-civided by {our is sent to the speed contol circuit fon the other hand, the clock pulses from the motor are algo sent to the speed control circuit. Through these operations, the speed control circuit Conitols the motor fo rotate at a speed ‘one-fourth of the high-speed rotation a fe. Fault Detection W the motor is subjected to an ‘oxcossive load for some reason, the DC controller PCB checks the clock pulses from the motor for an etror and, when it detects an error, indicates E10 ‘on the display of the contr panel. The power supply line of the motor iver PCB is equipped with a fuse which, in response to an overcurrent, ‘cuts off the power, causing the main ‘motor to suspend rotation.
