1 General Overview

This operational manual describes the function of the AS5000 Programmer in combination with the programming

boards. This tool can program the austriamicrosystems AS5000 series magnetic rotary encoders. The graphical user

interface (GUI) runs on PC running Windows XP or later and controls the programmer via the USB interface.

All major access modes to the OTP memories can be established. Be aware that austriamicrosystems provides the

AS5000 Programmer as a reference for programming and reading of mentioned devices (refer to Appendix A) under

laboratory conditions (no warranty for mass production).

Note: Since firmware version v2.10 the AS5000-Programmer contains a boot loader, which provides an update function

for new software release. Please refer to the corresponding application note AN5000-60 (available on our

webpage).

2 Hardware Components

2.1 Description of the Hardware Components

Figure 1: Three components of the Programmer solution

Figure 1 shows the three components which are needed to program the austriamicrosystems magnetic rotary encoder.

Take care that the connector between programming box and programming box is plugged in the right way.

Warning:

In case of wrong connection, the components in the AS5000 programmer or the encoder can be destroyed!

2.2 Description of the programming board

Figure 3: Example for an AS5043-PB Programming board

The programming board (AS5xxx-PB) is specific for a group of devices. By jumper setting on this board the build in

firmware in the programming box automatically detects the selected device. It is not recommended to change the

jumper setting to a different encoder type than installed in the socket.

To place or remove a device form the socket, push the black frame of the socket down. This socket has more

connectors as the AS50xx/ AS51xx part and therefore it is important to align the device to the left side of the socket.

The pin 1 of the device must be on the bottom left side. Figure 2 shows the detailed placed device in the socket.

The jumper J9 is specific for the AS5043/AS5143. This Jumper is used to close the feedback loop used for the analog

output operation mode. With this jumper the gain can set to 1.

The jumper J6 is by default closed because the AS5000 Programmer provides 3.3V operation. In case of 5 V operation

the jumper must be removed and the configuration can be changed over the GUI.

3 Installation

3.1 Hardware setup

First connect the AS5xxx-PB to the 20-pin connector of the AS5000 Programmer, as shown on Figure 1.

The AS5000 Programmer is directly powered by the PC via USB. An external power supply is not needed.

3.2 Installing the GUI on the PC

The preliminary software is developed for a Microsoft Windows XP operating system with Service Pack 2. In addition

the dotnet (.NET) framework version 2.0 or more must be installed on the PC. This package can be downloaded free of

charge from the Microsoft webpage:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

Following Procedure is recommended before starting the GUI:

1. check on your PC if Service Pack 2 is installed

2. install the mentioned .net package to your computer

3. execute AS5000GUI_setup.exe

4. Finally start the GUI using the shortcut in the start menu or desktop.

4 Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Figure 4: Main window of the GUI, no PB board inserted

Figure 4 shows the main window of the GUI.

In the top left corner, informations about the connected hardware are displayed:

- firmware (FW) type of the connected hardware: ubox (AS5000 Programmer) or dbrd (Demoboard)

- firmware (FW) version

By default the GUI is in the auto detection mode. Any austriamicrosystems device connected on the USB port (one

device at the same time) will be automatically detected and displayed in the right top corner.

Note: The autodetect mode can be disabled and forced to any other device type by selecting the device manually.

Once a PB board inserted, tabs will be displayed allowing go into two main sections: SSI (or TWI) and OTP.

4.1 Programming the AS5040/AS5045/AS5140/AS5145

Programming AS5040/AS5140 encoders requires the

AS5040-PB ZIF socket board. This adapter is compatible

with AS5040, AS5140, AS5045 and AS5145.

Jumper J6 must be close for normal operation and

programming operation.

- Die selection: This option is for dual die AS52xx devices only. For AS50xx and AS51xx devices Die 0 (default)

must be selected.

- Value field is the raw angle extracted from the SSI stream. The angle range is 0 (0°) to 1023 (359.6°)

- Status field displays the status bits extracted from the SSI stream. Green light means that the airgap between

the magnet and encoder is correct. Orange light means the magnet is too close of too far.

- CCW checkbox is the angle direction. To invert the rotating direction, check CCW.

- Zero Position field: Set button writes the actual angle value into the Zero Position register of the encoder. This

programming is not permanent. The actual value will be 0 after zero position programming. To reset the zero

position register, or to set a new zero position, click on Reset first.

- Read interval is the SSI stream readout and refresh rate the GUI.

Figure 7: AS5040 SSI tab after Zero P osition progr amming

This example is the effect when the function Zero Position SET has been performed.

Before programming, the encoder shows the position 651 (Figure 6). One click on Zero Position Set makes the software

writing the value 651 into the OTP Zero Position register (not permanent programming).

Selecting Zero Position Reset will write the value 0 to the OTP Zero Position register.

Note: The Zero Position function is the same for all the AS50xx, AS51xx, AS52xx rotary encoders offering this feature.

Selecting the OTP tab will read the OTP configuration from the IC.
