Flann Microwave CP2021 Control Processor

CP2021 Version 1.6 October 2020

GETTING STARTED

In addition to a brief product description, this chapter covers the following topics:

Unpacking your instrument.

Power considerations and connecting the Control Processor to the power supply.

Connecting the Control Processor to Microwave Instruments.

Connecting the Control Processor to IEEE488 (GPIB) bus.

Connecting the Control Processor to the USB interface.

Environmental Conditions.

Commissioning the Control Processor.

Unpacking your instrument

This instrument has been carefully inspected both electrically and mechanically before being shipped from

the factory. Perform an incoming inspection to check for signs of physical damage, missing contents, and

to check that it passes its internal self-test (see Page 20). If any discrepancy is found, notify the carrier and

Flann Microwave.

1. Inspect the shipping container for damage and keep the shipping materials until the inspection is

complete.

2. Verify that the shipping container contains everything shown in Figure 1.

3. Make sure that the serial number on the Control Processor’s rear panel matches that on the shipping

documents.

4. Inspect the outside of the Control Processor and Programmable instruments for any signs of damage.

5. Verify that the Control Processor passes the internal self-tests (detailed later in this section).

Flann Microwave CP2021 Control Processor

CP2021 Version 1.6 October 2020

Product Description

Flann Programmable Attenuators and Phase Changers are well proven Precision Rotary Vane instruments

driven by high-resolution stepper-motors, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability. The translation

between the mechanical positioning of the instrument and the attenuation or phase shift is interpreted by the

microprocessor based Control Processor.

The CP2021 is an upgrade of Flann’s previous CP2020 and has been designed to satisfy the demand for

high precision electronically controlled microwave instruments for use in Automated Test Environments

and system applications. Great attention has been paid to all aspects of the microwave, mechanical,

electrical and firmware design to achieve a unique standard of accuracy and reliability. For use in a 19”

rack system, remove the four feet using a 3mm hex key. Do not refit these screws.

The Programmable Rotary Vane Attenuator (PRVA) and Programmable Rotary Vane Phase Changer

(PRVPC) have been derived from the Company’s highly successful series of manually operated rotary vane

attenuators and phase changers that have been universally accepted in both government and commercial

organisations alike.

General Features

Fully compatible with CP2020.

Universal line input.

Hot Swap Microwave instruments, no need to power-down the Control Processor to change

instruments.

GPIB Bus Control. Conforms to IEEE488.1 and IEEE488.2 Specifications.

USB Interface. Conforms to USB 2.0 Specifications.

Capable of HS488 high speed GPIB transmission up to 8 MB/s.

Programmable GPIB command set. Change the Control Processor's GPIB command set to

match your software. Backward compatibility to CP92, CP91, & CP82 control processors.

Single ‘CPEMU’ command available to switch to CP92 command set.

Programmable Microwave Instrument range now from 3.3GHz (WG11A; WR229) to

173GHz (WG29; WR6) in full microwave bandwidths.

High Accuracy and Repeatability.

The CP2021 can be placed into ‘steps mode’ to give greater control over instrument

positioning.

Built-in self-tests to check for any malfunctions in the Control Processor or attached

Microwave Instruments.

Error logs and diagnostic aids to help determine cause of failures.

Improved and more comprehensible Error reporting.

Velocity Sensitive Shuttle Wheel to enable quick positioning of instruments.

Back lit LCD for clear visibility in any conditions.

Temperature monitoring to prevent damage to internal components.

Standard Drive Cable length up to 20 metres, with selectable Long Cable option giving up to

50 metres drive capability.

Ability to upgrade to latest Firmware version from Flann website.

Power Considerations

This is a safety class 1 product (provided with a protective earth terminal). A non-interruptible safety

earth ground must be provided from the main power source to the Control Processor power input

terminals and power cord. Whenever the safety earth ground has been impaired, the instrument

must be made inoperative and secured against any unintended operation. If this instrument is to be

energised via an autotransformer (NOT RECOMMENDED) for voltage reduction, make sure that

the common terminal is connected to the earth pole of the power source.

AC Line Power Requirement

Line Input: 90 – 264V a.c. (47 – 63 Hz)

Max Power: 120W

Line Fuse: 2.5A anti-surge, 20mm

DC Supply Fuses

Logic +5V: 1A anti-surge, 20mm

Motor +32V: 3.15A anti-surge, 20mm

Connecting the AC Line Supply

Locate the AC Line Input connector on the rear panel of the Control Processor (see Figure 2). Plug one end

of the line cable supplied into this port and the other end into a suitable earthed supply.

Environmental Considerations

The Control Processor and Microwave Units are designed to operate in ‘non-hazardous’ areas. The

environment in which the product is to be used is commercial, light industrial, either indoors or in a

protected outdoor environment.

The operating environment must conform to the conditions shown in Table 1. Operation outside these

ranges cannot be guaranteed and may pose dangerous implications to the operator or cause mechanical or

electrical failure to the equipment. It is important to maintain adequate ventilation at the rear and side

vents of the Control Processor at all times.

Environmental Condition Ranges

Line Input Range 90 – 264V AC (47 – 63 Hz)

Temperature Operating 0 to +40 degrees C

Temperature Non-Operating -20 to +60 degrees C

Humidity operating (max) 90 % without condensation

Humidity Non-operating (max) 95 % without condensation
