particle filter is implemented, so the power supply and other electronic
components reach cooling.
A temperature sensor is
implemented to avoid probable overheating.
·
The entire power tower is mounted by 4 bolts to the
truss of the iSaCS.

Power distribution
and switch board
The power input connector and
mains switch consist of:
·
Power cord connector (Mains input)
·
Mains switch
·
Fuse housing with fuses
The double-pole mains switch disconnects
the mains power from the internal power supply.
Each pole is secured by a
slow-blow fuse of T3.15 A / 250V.
230V~
or 100V~
The alteration of
the mains power input in the range from 100V~ to 240V~ is reduced to the use of
the appropriate mains power cable (additionally, various connector outlet
constructions are used in different countries worldwide).
If the mains power is changed
from 230V~ to 100V~ or vice versa, no alterations are required inside the
scanner. The change of the mains power is fully handled by the input voltage
range of the power supply; 
“Power supply TDK -Lambda“.
More information can be found
in the “Power input gallery” and the “Power input slide show”.
Check
or replace fuses
Disconnect the
power cable.
·
Open the fuse housing and remove the fuse container.
·
Push the fuse container lock guide (1) to the center
of the fuse container (for example with a flat screw driver).
·
Pull the container out (2) of the housing.
·
If the fuses are dismounted, use an Ohmmeter to check
the fuses.
·
If a fuse exchange is necessary, always use a
slow-blow fuse of T3.15 A / 250V (100V~ or 230V~ power input is unimportant).
More information can be found
in the “Power input gallery” and the “Power input slide show”.
Power supply TDK -Lambda
The internal OEM power supply
TDK-Lambda with an input voltage range of 90V~ to 264V~ AC, an input frequency
of 47Hz ~ 63Hz and output voltages of 5V-, 12V- and 24V- DC supplies the
internal units of the iSaCS with power. Inside the controller units (USB, X-,
Y-, Z-motor controller, power distribution board and some stepper motors) a
local power supply is located and this create further, required voltages.
·
The power supply is short circuit-protected.
·
The “Housing Switch” is used to switch off the entire
scanner if mechanical malfunction or other emergency situation occurs.
·
If the input voltage is changed from 230V~ to 100V~ or
vice versa, no alteration is required inside the scanner.
Remark
The fan of the power supply
is removed in the iSaCS; the cooling of the components is done by the central fan of the power tower.
Power input
·
Press the power
input cover a bit downward until the clamps (1) are disconnected from the upper
housing part and remove the cover.
·
Connect the power wires as shown (2).
·
Fit the parts (a) into the slots of the base cover and
the clamps (b) into the appropriate slots of the top cover.

Housing Switch and standby
The Housing Switch
inhibits and stops the switching power supply by the help of a relay, but the
mains voltage of 100V~ or 230V~ is not interrupted; the power supply goes to
standby.
By shorting the pins “
If there is no connection
between the two pins (or the standby option is not used), the power supply is
running continuously.
·
These two pins will be shorted via a relay, if the
“Housing Switch” is active and closed.
Housing Switch
The Housing Switch
is situated in the left handed side wall of the scanner and is used to inhibit the
power supply. The power distribution is interrupted and all movements are
stopped immediately.
·
If the power is supplied again to the scanner, the software has to be
started again.
“Housing
Switch” and “Power LED”.
Housing
connectors
Power distribution and
switch board
The power outputs can be
switched by software; so momentarily unused units can be switched off, or if
any emergency event occurred, all outputs may be disabled.
The outputs are switched by
the use of relays.
The communication between
software and the power distribution board is realized with the control bus
connector; this is connected to the USB controller and is used to switch on /
off the power outputs and to transfer status information to the USB-controller.
The temperature sensor input
controls the fan output directly, without any scan software control, bat the
temperature value and the fan speed can be read from the software; see also the
service program, Low level service, power supply. The fan speed is controlled
via the PIC on this switch board, depending on the sensed temperature value.
Enable or disable of the switch board
For technical enhancements
and upgrades, the type of the entire “Power distribution & switch board”
can be defined or the board might be disabled.
The relevant parameter and
value is found in the section [Microscope] of the file “MicroscopeConfiguration.ini”.
To enable the switch board:
PowerSwitchBoardType=PowerSwitchBoard_Type1
Actually, the most recent
“Type1” is used.
To disable the switch board:
PowerSwitchBoardType=PowerSwitchBoard_None
Usually, the board is
enabled.
If the entire “Power distribution
and switch board” is disabled, the power supply for the camera and all other
connected units is disabled; the scanner will not start correctly or the
powering of the appropriate units have to be realized otherwise; e.g. with
external power supplies.

Temperature sensor, fan and fan control
Because the fan of
the power supply is removed and cameras needs cooling (their temperature must
not exceed 60º C (140º F)), temperature sensing and active
cooling of the scanner is required.
The sensed temperature value
is used to control the speed of the fans directly; without any interaction of
the scan software “SlideScanner.exe”.
In the service program, the
sensed temperature is shown in [ºC], the fan speed is shown in a value
between 1 and 255; 255 is the full speed of the fan.
·
The sensed temperature value and the fan speed can be
read with the service program any time.
If the field “Error” is
different from zero, a HW error exists in the temperature sensor and fan
control electronics; depending on the error code.
Error codes
16 Fan error; the
spinning speed of the fan is too slow; the fan blades moving too strong; they
have too much resistance in the bearing.
32 Fan error; the
blades of the fan are not spinning; check cabling, connection; try to rotate
the fan blades manually; check for any mechanical reason also.
64 The temperature of
60º C (140º F) reached; check and clean the dust filter of the fan;
check the fan’s connection and the movement of the blades also.
128 Power tower
overheated; the relays are switching off; the power to the connected units is
interrupted; the temperature reached 70º
C.
·
Because the error bits are arranged in a byte, other
values are possible if more errors existing at the same time; e.g. 96= 64 + 32.
·
If the units are switched off by overheating, the scan
software SlideScanner.exe shows the error message
“Error occurred”
and stops working.
The spinning of the
blades is recognized by the PIC.
Probably fan errors may be:
·
The signal of the fan spinning sensor (situated inside
the fan) is not recognized by the fan control logic, because the fan is not or
not well connected; the fan blades does not rotate (any mechanical or cabling
reason) or the fan is defective.
·
If the fan speed is too slow please check and clean
the dust and particle filters or the fan blades moving too strong; they have
too much resistance in the bearing (fan goes defective).
·
The power distribution and switch board is defective.
“The
fan”
The Fan with dust filter is
found in the “Power tower” from beneath; see also: Construction_2
Nominal “wire to board”
connections
The USB controller connects,
supplies and controls all the addressable units and outputs; these are:
·
Power distribution
& switch board
·
Objective changer
unit (OC)
·
The USB controller gets its +-24V power directly from
the tdk lambda OEM
power supply.
The USB controller receives
the command for the units from the program SlideScanner.exe (the scan program)
or the SlideScannerService.exe (the service
program) via the USB control port of the PC and the USB cable.
All units contain separate
electronics and are connected via a bus system. To differentiate the units,
connected to the USB controller, all stepper motor electronics and the
unit-controller as well has an address.
Each data transfer starts with the specified address for the unit and is listen
by all units at the same time, but only this unit receives the message, which
internal address and the message address is identical. The stepper motor
electronics can receive commands (number of steps to go and direction) and can
send status information (desired position reached and the status of the sensors
Home1 and Home2). The status information
is sent via the USB cable to the software, hereby the address of the unit is
used also.
With this solution it is
possible to change the “Hirschmann” connection with another “Hirschmann” cable
(Connectors A ...F; e.g. for fault detection) without any risk or functional
restrictions. The label of the cable for digital electronics has no reason in
functionality; it differentiates the cables from each other instead, because
some cables are shorter than others.
Important
The construction of the controller powering on the board does allow the
drive of maximal 3 stepper motors at the same time!
·
Please take this into account, if you
are working with the service program and the batch test program module!

The length of the cables is so
dimensioned, that only the specified unit can be reached easily.
The addressable units are also
connected via the “Bus extender” because the number of connected units
increased. The bus contains the power supply for the unit (24V-) and the serial
bus (I2 C). Via the
serial bus the connected units are addressed, receive command and control
information and returns status information.
Each connected unit contains
a local power supply to create further, required voltages.

The addressable units are
connected with the “Binder” connector (except the Power distribution and switch
board); the connection is secured with a knurled nut. On the other end of the
cable a “wire to board” connector is used.
Important
Please do not use pliers to
loosen or tighten the cable header lock nut. If there is too much force used on
the connectors, the soldering of the connector may be destroyed and broken and
the appropriate motor or unit will not work.

The addresses are
used by the scan program and the service program to select the unit; these addresses
are programmed into the specified unit and can be changed via special software only. It is important,
that none of these addresses should exist twice inside of one Pannoramic
scanner, otherwise command and status mismatch occurs.
If data transfer
is in progress, all addressable units listen to the address of the data stream.
If the address of
the unit is identical with the address of the data stream, the addressed unit is
found and this receives the information.
·
The length
of the cables is so dimensioned, that every bus connector may be reached with
any bus cable header.
·
Positions of the bus cables may be changed without any
risk or functional restrictions; e.g. for fault detection!
X-Y-Z-ND-motor and Flash
light control
Because in the P250 the
ND-motor is additionally implemented, the Flash light control has to be
resolved and the focus motor is of a different type, a new electronics box was
implemented.
The unit realizes the
control, connections and interfacing of the following units:
·
X-motor
·
Y-motor
·
Z-motor (focus)
·
ND-motor
·
Flash light
control for brightfield scan
·
Trigger connection of the CIS-camera
·
The power supply and the control of the addressable
unit are realized with the “Hirschmann” connector (Bus connector).
·
The X-, Y-, Z- and ND-stepper motor control
electronics is realized with the appropriate module; these motors itself does
not contain control electronics.
·
The motor modules are all from the same type and are
interchangeable without address modifying.
Flash light control
The arc frequency of
the Flash light source is controlled via the software.
The connector
“CIS-camera trg” is software controlled and defines the shutter time and pulse
width for the CIS-camera.
Darkfield illumination connector
·
The two connectors “DF illumination” provide the power
for the darkfield illumination and are interchangeable; the intensity can not
be affected.
The wires of the appropriate
stepper motor as well as the wires of the sensors are directly connected to the
electronics via the motor cable headers.
The construction of the
connectors does not allow an interchanging of the two cables to each other, but
the motor can be connected to another module; e.g. for fault detection.
·
The sensors Home1 and Home2 are also connected via the
motor headers.
Important
Please do not use pliers to
loosen or tighten the cable header lock nuts. If there is too much force used
on the connectors, the soldering of the connector may be destroyed or broken
and the appropriate motor will not work or may working very noisy.
Hint
·
For test purposes and fault detection, the motor cable header pair may be
connected to another motor output; e.g. the X-motor headers are connected to
the Y-motor output.
·
In this example, the service program Y-direction will be used to move
the X-stage!!
·
Before SlideScanner.exe will be started, the motor cable headers have to
be connected to their original, correct motor connection!

from the scanner part, and the staining and cover slipping part is divided into
several control electronics, addresses are used to distinguish the data stream
for the controllers.
·
