Project: DEIMOS
Stage: Entrance Hatch
ID #: KDWN-001A
Engineer: J. Osborne
Mechanical Description of Stage: An air cylinder
opens a hinged aluminun cover in front of the entrance window. There
are covers for side "A" and side "B".
Electronic Description of Stage: Pneumatic
solenoid that is controlled by a Galil/Opt0-22 I/O bit.

"Coarse" if from optical interupter, "Fine" if from an encoder index
pulse. Home is defined as zero counts.
-
Primary limits signal the controller to stop motion. Secondary limits
cut motor power and require intervention to move out of them.

NOTES:
Mechanical Drawing(s) # D8740
Electronic Drawing(s) # EL-3080
Sign conventions are such that a positive motion of the motor turns
the motor in a CW direction as viewed from the drive shaft looking back
into the motor, and will drive the stage towards the forward limit.
