Practica uitbreidingen ---

1) Aanpassing huidige opstellingen:

 Vernieuwen PC's naar Pentiums met Windows en Matlab zodat de studenten hun simulatie nog even kunnen overdoen op de computers van de opstelling zelf indien nodig:

2 PC's - kostprijs ca. 90000,-

 Software/Hardware uitbreidingen: mail vanwege Quanser:

--- Hello Gentlemen,

I cannot recall exactly what equipment you have, however I will describe the options that might be appropriate:

*************************

IP01 to IP02 Upgrade

*************************

Summary:

* Removal of potentiometers - replaced with 1024 counts/rev optical encoders (4096 counts/rev in quadrature)

* Replacement of the front faceplate of the IP01 Cart (to protect the new encoder)

* Replacement of the Front rail (with the brass cogged rack) if it is of the older (narrower) design. This is to reduce flexibility of

this rail when running in Self-Erecting Mode. This item is free of charge if any additional hardware is purchase, otherwise the cost

is $125.00

* New gears

* Addition of a longer Shaft from the Encoder that senses the Pendulum Angle.

This allows the Pendulum Rod to be suspended in

front of the Cart/Rack Assemble such that it can be operated in Linear Gantry and Self-Erecting Mode.

* New Software to control these items.

Procedure:

The best way to do this is for you to send your IP01 Cart to us. There is no additional cost for us to perform this retrofit/upgrade

(other than the cost of shipping). This also allows us to entire entire cart is in good working order with a basic cleaning and

thorough test. The alternative is that we send you all the components and you perform the upgrade yourselves (same price)

Price:

$US400

*************************

MultiQ Upgrade ???

*************************

I cannot recall if you are using the MultiQ2 or MultiQ3. The only difference is that they use different Quadrature Encoder

Decoding chips and that the MultiQ3 is limited to 8 encoder signals as opposed to 6 for the MultiQ2. The MultiQ2 Encoder

(2)

Chips are not designed to work in Pentium II and faster systems (as it was designed in 1993, before such speeds were attained).

This is why the MultiQ3 was designed...in order to account for the change in the level of performance.

You would need to add at least 1 encoder chip (to either MultiQ), which would handle 2 signals.

For MultiQ2 - the price is $200 per chip

For MultiQ3 - the price is $200 for the first, $150 for the second, $125 for the third and $100 for each subsequent chip.

***********************

PA to UPM Upgrade

***********************

Summary:

I imagine you are using the PA-0103 Series Power Modules.

The new design employs a second Power Supplies (specifically for the sensors).

The new design uses all the standardized connectors for all the products. This would be fully compatible with the changes to your

IP01 Carts.

Procedure:

Return your PA-0103 to us and we will remove all the components that can be passed over to the new design. We then add the

new power supply and all the new connectors and a new case including new cables for your hardware.

Price:

$US480 - This is %50 of the cost of anew one.
