Caution  
Some of the components assembled on GE Fanuc’s products may be  
sensitive to electrostatic discharge and damage may occur on boards that are  
subjected to a high energy electrostatic field. Unused boards should be  
stored in the same protective boxes in which they were shipped. When the  
board is to be placed on a bench for configuring, etc., it is suggested that  
conductive material be inserted under the board to provide a conductive  
shunt.  
Upon receipt, any precautions found in the shipping container should be observed. All items should  
be carefully unpacked and thoroughly inspected for damage that might have occurred during  
shipment. The board(s) should be checked for broken components, damaged circuit board(s), heat  
damage, and other visible contamination. All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed  
with the carrier and a complete report sent to GE Fanuc together with a request for advice about the  
disposition of the damaged item(s).

Board Address Selection Switches  
There are two address select DIP switches on-board the Digital-to-Analog Converter Board. Each  
individual switch corresponds to an address bit, or is not used. If the switch is ON the  
corresponding address bit is compared to a logic "zero". All corresponding address bits must  
compare with the switch positions during a Write/Read of the DAC board. Each switch corresponds  
to the address bits as shown in Figure 2-1 below. For the board switch locations are shown in  
Figure 2-2 on page 2-6.  
Example: For the Digital-to-Analog Converter Board to respond to a base address of  
(FXFFBC40 ) the S1 and S2 switches would be set accordingly.

Introduction to Programming the Digital-to-Analog Converter  
Board  
The Digital-to-Analog Converter Board is memory mapped in the short I/O address space. The  
board occupies 16 successive word locations in the VME short I/O address space of 65,535 bytes.  
Only the first nine word locations are actually used by the board. The short I/O space is located  
from XXXX0000 HEX to XXXXFFFF HEX. The address bits A31 to A16 are CPU dependent.  
Each Read cycle may be either a word or byte transfer. The board base address may be selected by  
DIP switches as shown in “Board Address Selection Switches” on page 2-5. Tables 3-1 and 3-2  
below represent the DAC address map assuming the factory set base address of XXXX0060 HEX.

Jumper JC determines whether the board operates in Short Supervisory I/O  
Access or Short NonPrivileged I/O Access. With the jumper installed Short  
NonPrivileged I/O Access is selected.  
Tables 3-1 and 3-2 above shows addressing information for 16-bit word transfers. Data may be  
transferred to the DACs in 8-bit format. When using byte format, the low byte is always transferred  
first then the high byte next. For example, assuming a board base address of XXXX0000 HEX, a  
low byte transfer (D7 to D0) to Channel 0 is written to address XXXX0001 HEX. The high byte of  
data (D15 to D8) is then written to address XXXX0000 HEX.

Digital-to-Analog Converter Board Programming Options  
There are two types of registers that must be written to for proper operation of the DAC board. One  
is the CSR, and the other is the DAC. The order in which they are written to may differ depending  
on the method used to start a conversion.  
Immediate DAC Update Mode  
The IMMEDIATE DAC UPDATE MODE is described in “Program Control Update Mode” on  
page 4-4 and the board is configured for this mode when received from the factory. Once this has  
been set up, a 16-bit word can be written to any DAC channel where it will begin immediate analog  
conversion. When byte transfer (8-bit) is used to load the DAC channel, conversion begins  
immediately upon the loading of the high byte (D15 to D8).  
All eight DAC channels can be initiated to a value, as described in the preceding paragraph, before  
they are connected to the external circuitry. After powering up the board, load the DAC channels  
with the initial 16-bit word (or two 8-bit bytes) required (positive true offset binary or binary two's  
complement coding, Table 3-3 below). A control word can then be written to the CSR to enable the  
DAC outputs to the P3 connector. The CSR bit description for this mode of operation is detailed in  
Table 3-4 on page 3-4 and Table 3-5 on page 3-5.

Delayed DAC Update Mode  
The DELAYED DAC UPDATE MODE operation is described in “Delayed DAC Update Mode”  
on page 4-4. This mode must have previously been enabled by the jumper configuration in  
“Program Controlled and External Start Convert Mode” on page 2-9. There are two ways for a  
DAC channel to be updated after the 16-bit word is loaded into the DAC's first register. The first  
way is under program control when data bit D9 is written high to the CSR. It should be noted that  
when setting D9 to initiate the DAC update that control bits D8, and D11 through D14 should be  
set or reset according to where the user wants the converted output to be routed, (refer to Table 3-4  
on page 3-4 and Table 3-5 on page 3-5). Also, a previously loaded DAC may be updated by an  
external trigger input from another device. A programming example of the DELAYED DAC  
UPDATE MODE is detailed in “Program Example (Delayed DAC Update Mode)” on page 3-9.

Test Mode Programming  
Any of the eight DAC outputs may be selected to pass to an ADC board over test bus 2 to verify  
the DAC outputs. If a MUX is present in the analog backplane then any DAC output can be  
selected to go to that board for test purposes over test bus 1. Generally the programming sequence  
for utilizing one of the two test buses is as follows:  
If IMMEDIATE DAC UPDATE MODE is employed, then a Control Word should first be written  
to the CSR. This Control Word information includes which test bus the DAC output is to be routed  
to, and whether the output is to be isolated or connected to the P3 connector (refer to Table 3-4 on  
page 3-4 and Table 3-5 on page 3-5). The DAC to be updated is then loaded with a 16-bit word.  
The channel is updated and passes out the selected test bus.  
An output may also be updated under program control to route to a specified test bus. The board  
must have previously been jumpered to accommodate the DELAYED DAC UPDATE MODE as  
shown in “Program Controlled and External Start Convert Mode” on page 2-9. The programming  
sequence is as follows:  
First, a 16-bit word or two 8-bit bytes are written to the address of the DAC channel that is to be  
updated. The data is stored in the DAC Register and will be converted by setting the proper bits in  
a Write cycle to the CSR. The CSR must be written to at the same address as that of the DAC  
channel that has previously been loaded plus 10 HEX. For example, if the user wanted to convert  
Channel no. 2 which was written to address XXXX0062 HEX, then the Control Word would be  
written to address XXXX0072 HEX (XXXX0062 and 10 HEX). Data bit D09 when written as  
"one" to the CSR initiates the analog conversion of the previously stored 16-bit word.  
The test modes can only be used if an ADC board exists in the same GE Fanuc analog (P2)  
backplane as the Digital-to-Analog Converter Board.

Program Example (Delayed DAC Update Mode)  
In the programming example in “Test Mode Programming” on page 3-7, all eight DAC converters  
were loaded with a full scale value of FFFH in the IMMEDIATE UPDATE MODE. For illustration  
purposes the same result will be obtained by this programming example by using the DELAYED  
DAC UPDATE MODE. The DELAYED DAC MODE is jumper-selectable as described in  
“Program Controlled and External Start Convert Mode” on page 2-9.  
The programming sequence in a flowchart is shown in Figure 3-2 on page 3-12. In the following  
program example all eight DAC channels are loaded with new data, and then updated under  
program control. Alternatively, if previously enabled, an external trigger input could have initiated  
the DAC conversion process.

Operational Overview  
The Digital-to-Analog Converter Board performs digital-to-analog conversion on 16-bit positive  
true offset binary or two’s complement coded words, with an analog output range of -10 to +10 V.  
This provides for a resolution of 305 µV for each digital input of 1 LSB change. The buffered  
output voltage settles to within 1/2 LSB in 10 µs.  
The DAC offers a Digital-to-Analog Integrated Circuit (IC) per channel. A Control and Status  
Register (CSR) is loaded by the processor and this register controls the functioning of the board.  
The processor can read the CSR at any time. The DAC board functional block diagram is shown in  
Figure 4-1 on page 4-5. Double-buffered data latches precede each of the eight DACs. The data  
latches allow versatility in the way that the DAC analog output may be updated.  
There are three methods by which new data can be converted by a DAC.  
Each method is enabled/disabled by on-board jumpers and is further controlled by a CSR that must  
be loaded by the user (the CSR contents are described in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 on page 3-2, Table 3-4  
on page 3-4, and Table 3-5 on page 3-5).

Immediate DAC Update Mode  
The processor unit sends the 16-bit word to be converted to the first register of the selected DAC. If  
that DAC channel has previously been jumpered to, it will automatically pass the contents of the  
first DAC register into the second register and update the analog output. There is one jumper that  
enables/disables all eight DAC channels to be in the IMMEDIATE UPDATE MODE as described  
above, or in the DELAYED UPDATE MODE. Jumper definition and locations are described in  
“Program Controlled and External Start Convert Mode” on page 2-9.  
GFK-2059  
Chapter 4 Theory of Operation  
4-3

Delayed DAC Update Mode  
In the DELAYED DAC UPDATE MODE, the processor sends the 16-bit word to be converted to  
the first DAC register of the selected DAC. The data is stored there and transferred to the second  
DAC register in one of two possible methods, described below.  
Program Control Update Mode  
One way for the transfer to occur is by writing a "one" to the Control Register bit D09. When the  
data is transferred to the second register, digital-to-analog conversion begins and the analog output  
settles to within 1/2 LSB in 10 µs. This method of updating the analog output is useful when more  
than one DAC channel output is desired to change at a precise time. All eight DAC outputs could  
be synchronized to change at certain periodic intervals under software control.  
External Trigger Update Mode  
The second method to update the second storage register and the DAC output by an external TTL  
compatible trigger. This trigger must first have the external trigger circuitry enabled by installing  
an on-board jumper as described in “Program Controlled and External Start Convert Mode” on  
page 2-9. The PROGRAM CONTROL UPDATE MODE must also be enabled (refer to “Program  
Controlled and External Start Convert Mode” on page 2-9). When the external trigger is received  
(active low for a minimum of 150 ns), the value stored in the first DAC register will be transferred  
to the second DAC register and begins a conversion. Using this method of updating, all  
conversions can be synchronized to an external device.  
Each of the DAC outputs may be multiplexed one at a time via the test MUX shown in Figure 4-3  
on page 4-8. First, a control word must be written to the CSR to establish whether the analog output  
is to be connected or disconnected from the P3 connector and which one of two test buses the  
output is to be routed to. The DAC channel to be tested has test data written to it in the  
IMMEDIATE UPDATE MODE. Address bits A01 through A04 are automatically latched into the  
Address Register when the board is written to. The outputs of this Address Register select the DAC  
channel that has just been updated via the test MUX. Test control information previously latched in  
the CSRs passes the DAC output through the analog test switch to the test bus 2. Test bus 2 is  
routed via the analog backplane (AMXbus™) to the input of the ADC board where it is available  
for analog-to-digital conversion. When the ADC completes its conversion, it sends an end-of-  
convert signal down the P2 backplane to the DAC. This signal removes either of the two test bus  
outputs from the analog backplane. Along with the test bus 2 signal being sent to the ADC board  
the analog ground (GND SEN) is switched out to the ADC board. This provides an input to the  
ADC board, which is similar to a differential signal and is called pseudo-differential. Pseudo-  
differential solves some of the associated common mode error problems with single-ended signals.  
The input to the ADC board is referenced to the ground of the DAC board instead of the local  
ground at the ADC board, effectively canceling out common mode errors associated with different  
ground potentials at each of the boards.

VMEbus Interface Description  
The VMEbus interface (Figure 4-4 on page 4-9) contains the necessary logic to interface a DAC  
board to the VMEbus. The DAC is memory mapped in the VMEbus short I/O address space.  
During a Write cycle to the board, address bits A05 through A15 are compared with the previously  
selected board address. DIP switches select the board address. If the address compares, then a  
board select signal is issued. This signal along with the control signals received at the board, gate  
the data (D0 to D15) to a selected DAC or the CSR on the DAC. Address bits A01 through A03  
select one of the eight DAC channels. Data D0 through D15 is latched into the selected DAC  
Register. Address bit A04 is used to select the CSR.  
The DAC circuitry requires +5 V, +15 V, and -15 V, the +5 V is supplied to the board via the P1  
and P2 connectors. An on-board DC-to-DC converter generates the +15 V and -15 V for the analog  
circuitry (refer to Figure 4-5 on page 4-11). Thus, the DAC board only needs +5 V from the chassis  
power supply.
