The Hand Pulse Generator (HPG) is a hand wheel used for manual
operation of the the control’s axes. The HPGs are generally used to jog
axes into position. The operator panel power supply provides power for
three Hand Pulse Generators.
The HPG is composed of two parts, the HPG itself and the HPG interface
board. The HPG interface board is used to interface the HPG with the
fiber optic I/O ring. Fiber optic cables are connected to the optical receiver
(black) and transmitter (red) on the HPG interface board. The fiber optic
cables and connectors are supplied by the system installer. For more
information on fiber optics refer to page 7B-1.
