With the increasing complexity of optical setups, the need for remote diagnostics and control of repetitive tasks increases. Scientists and engineers recognize the benefits of PC control of critical alignments, yet are often afraid of the effort, magnitude and cost typically associated with the implementation of a computer controlled solution. Newport’s new Conex™ product family addresses these concerns. Conex provides highly functional control solutions that are easy to use, compact, and in-expensive. Available today are the first three members of the new Conex family: The CONEX-CC DC servo motor driver, the CONEX-PSD9 position sensing detector, and the CONEX-IOD I/O module. Additional modules will be added soon. All Conex modules provide easy, plug-and-play, USB PC control. Multiple units can be connected to a single USB port using standard USB hub technology. Where possible, modules are also powered through the USB port. No additional power supplies or cables are needed, significantly simplifying cable management and reduces accessory costs. All Conex modules are 3.67" x 2.09" x 0.91" (93 x 53 x 23 mm) only. M3 inserts are provided on three sides for flexibility in mounting. An optional adapter plate holds up to six Conex modules, which mounts directly on optical tables. A LabView based utility program provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for each module. The GUIs are also available as .llb components that facilitate integration into custom LabVIEW programs. A comprehensive set of LabVIEW VIs is available as well.

CONEX-CC D C - S E R V O C O N T R O L L E R / D R I V E R The CONEX-CC is a very compact and inexpensive driver for Newport’s low power DC servo motor driven devices. For out-of-the box control, the CONEX-CC is preconfigured and delivered with the motion device. Available configurations include TRA and LTA Series actuators, MFA linear stages, SR50 and PR50 rotation stages and BGS50 goniometers. The linear amplifier of the CONEX-CC provides the optimum drive solution for low-power motors. Compared to other solutions relying on cheaper PWM amplifiers, the CONEX-CC delivers much smoother...

CONEX-PSD9 P O S I T I O N S E N S I N G D E T E C T O R The CONEX-PSD9 position sensing detector provides accurate XY position information of laser beams and is ideally suited for laser beam stabilization, laser tracking and general beam diagnostics. Unlike quadrant detectors, the improved tetra-lateral effect diode of the CONEX-PSD9 is highly linear over the full sensor size of 9 mm x 9 mm, and delivers a third signal that is proportional to the beam power. Compared to many detectors that are tweaked for high bandwidth, the CONEX-PSD9 has been optimized for stability and compatibility...
