KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
3.2.1
Main modes (nor-, SER- and Pr -mode)
Exposure and other functions are possible only in main modes: nor and, SEr mode. When the power is switched on to the device, the program is in nor(=user)-mode, which functions as explained in this manual. In SEr(=service)-mode certain checks like the presence of the cassette holder, cassette, and diaphragm are bypassed so that service personnel can test the device without any delays. In service mode the kV and mAs display shows the AEC integration time in ms. If the AUTOREL button is pressed the timer display shows the exposure time and the kV display shows the kV (Normally timer display shows SEr).

3.2.3.5 AEC adjustment parameters Functional description of AEC full automatic mode
The initial kV is automatically selected based on the compressed breast thickness. In the beginning of the exposure the first estimation of the exposure time at initial kV is made by measuring the radiation coming through the breast. Based on this, the kV is automatically changed up or down, if necessary, to meet the target time. If the kV is changed, a second estimation of the exposure time at this kV is made by measuring the radiation and the kV is automatically changed again, if necessary, to meet the target time. After the exposure the final kV is displayed. The Auto kV performance can be optimized and configured according to the user preferences. The configurable items are the initial kV (initial kV versus breast thickness table), amount of allowable kV change (Max kV change in Pr-mode, enter from normal mode with Den+/Den- 3sec.) and desired exposure time range (target time). In program #64 AEC, parameter I determines the min/max values for target time. The target time is setup in program # 65 tAr by giving two thicknesses and the respective desired exposure times. The target times for other thicknesses are calculated with linear estimation. The system selects the kV so that the desired target time can be reached. The maximum allowable kV-change is more limiting, however, and thus a different exposure time than the target time may result.

Compensation curve slope parameters S1 and S2
Parameters S1 and S2 determine the curve slope for exposure times shorter or longer than the rotation point respectively. S1 determines the slope at the point where exposure time is lower than the rotation point . S2 determines the amount of compensation at exposure time higher than the rotation point . Refer to the curves below for effects of the S parameters. The rotation point is 1.0 seconds and the amount of rotation (r1 and r2) is 0.8, 0.9, 1.1 or 1.2 (= 80%, 90%, 110%, 120%). Default values are 200 for both. Compensation curve slope parameters S1 and S2

USING THE SERIAL PORT IN FOR COMMUNICATION
3.3.1
The Cable
For the cable, there are two options because there are two ways to connect a serial port of a PC. Some older models of personal computers use a 25-pin D-connector for serial communications while normally 9-pin connector is used. The cable for both options is illustrated below:
Alpha/Performa
Service Manual
3.3.2
Performa, Alpha IQ, RT, ST, III
Communication protocol
The serial connection is an ordinary asynchronous receiver/transmitter. The serial port is initialized in Performa, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ as follows: 1200 baud (9600 baud with 5.09 software and if Dataview is connected) 8 data bits no parity (always 0) 1 stop bit
The effect of the 'no parity bit' and the stop bit is a total of two stop bits, so receiving end must be configured correspondingly. The data byte looks the following: START
8-BIT DATA
2 STOP
The data can be received with a communications program (for example Procomm) to PC and be printed afterwards on paper. This might be more convenient than a printer with RS 2 because it is not a standard equipment. 3.3.3

THEORY OF OPERATIONS
3.4.1
Process controller
3.4.1.1 The CPU BOARD The CPU board is the heart of Performa, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ. It controls every function in the unit, except the ROTATIONAL BRAKE. The 8031 microprocessor on the CPU board controls kV GENERATION ,mA GENERATION (via the FILAMENT CONTROL board) and the rest of the functions through latches and buffers directly and uses a keyboard controller (8279) to handle the control panel.. The I/O-control (latches and buffers) controls the vertical drive motor, compression motor, bucky, anode motor, foot switches, microswitch reading, and the AEC. The 8279 reads and decodes the control panel switches, as well as drives the control panel display.

Cassette sensing
The cassette bottom forms the reflective surface needed. There is a green LED which comes on to indicate that the cassette is being sensed and the CASNORsignal is sent to the CPU. 3.4.2.4 Cassette holder sensing CSENSE BOARD The cassette holder sensor has four reed relays in it, three of them (CHL,CHR and K4) are used to decode cassette holders for the CPU. The fourth read relay (CHON) ensures the cassette holder is completely attached. The identification is done with magnets attached to the holders.

The Inverter Board Inverter Board contains a high voltage and a low voltage section. The high voltage section is isolated from the low voltage section with pulse with pulse transformers TF1, TF2 and relays K1,K2. WARNING! Voltages in the high voltage part of the of the INVERTER Board INVERTER Board are deadly. The peak to peak to peak voltage peak voltage exceeds 700V in normal operation. High voltage section:
The high voltage section consists of a MOSFET transistor H-bridge which converts the rectified line voltage (+310 VDC) into high frequency current. This current is taken to the HIGH VOLTAGE UNIT where it is transformed into high voltage. The inductors L1, L2 and capacitor C8 act as parts of resonant circuit which shapes the bridge bridge current. The RMS value of the current is controlled by the H-bridge's operating frequency. The MOSFET driving pulses are generated at the low voltage section of the board and are provided provided by by the pulse the pulse transformers TF1 and TF2.

kV reference: The level of the used kV is set by the CPU BOARD with signals DATA0 DATA7. This 8 bit digital word contains the kV reference . The kV reference is converted into an analog signal in D/A converter ICA2 (TP24).
The analog kV reference (TP24) and the kV feedback (TP22) signals correspond to actual kV as follows: kV = DVM read-out * 10 kV For example, if the digital multimeter (DVM) read-out is 2.5 V the actual high voltage is 25kV. kV adjustment: The calibration of the kV is done by adjusting the D/A converter's (ICA2) reference voltage with trimmer potentiometer R63. Note!
The kV calibration is performed at the factory. The trimmer potentiometer R63 is sealed . Manipulation of the potentiometer can be carried out by authorized personnel only. Improper settings of the potentiometer can damage the INVERTER BOARD, HIGH VOLTAGE UNIT and the X-RAY TUBE External indicators: Connector X6 provides relay contacts for X-ray system status indication.

3.4.3.3 mA generation timing mA generation timing is controlled with four signals: FOCUS, PREHEAT, PREH and EXT. FOCUS is a latch output which changes state depending on whether the mag-box (small focal spot) or either the bucky or cassette tunnel (large focal spot) is attached to the machine. It selects which mA feedback resistor is used on the FILAMENT CONTROL board and which filament is energized. PREHEAT becomes active 55 milliseconds after the hand switch is depressed. It powers relay K2 on the FILAMENT CONTROL board and supplies power to the filament transformer TR1. During the time between PREHEAT and EXT, the pulse width modulator (ICA8) uses filament voltage as its feedback voltage. The feedback voltage is gain is controlled with trimmer potentiometers R28 and R96 to achieve proper tube current rise at the beginning of an exposure. (See PREHEAT ADJUSTMENT in the Adjustments & Alignments Section). When EXT goes active, actual exposure begins. We are now no longer interested in filament voltage; now, we must regulate tube current. To accomplish this, the common of the filaments is connected to ground through one of the feedback resistors (R77 or R78) on the FILAMENT board. This signal called mA FEEDBACK (MAFB) is now fed to the pulse width modulator by the analog switch (ICA10). Its output was switched from filament voltage to MAFB with the signal PREH. The PREH signal is activated approximately 7 ms after the EXT signal. The duty cycle of the

mA control: The mA control adjusts the X-ray tube's filament heating level to provide the desired tube current (mA). This is done by regulating the filament voltage with "FLYBACK" type pulse width modulated switch mode power supply (T1, T2, TR1, D6, C12, ICA8). The control circuitry utilizes current mode control which provides better stabilization and protects the semiconductor switches against over current.
The operation consists of two consecutive sequences: the preheat sequence and normal mA control sequence. The preheat sequence is used for heating of the filament to the desired level prior to the exposure, in order to achieve optimum mA rise at the start up. During the preheat sequence the control feedback comes from the filament voltage, and during an exposure the mAFB signal is used, providing the actual tube current monitoring. Preheat adjustment: The Preheat adjustment is done separately for large and small focus with trimmer potentiometers R28 and R96 respectively. (See PREHEAT ADJUSTMENT in the Adjustments & Alignments Section) The FOCUS signal selects the corresponding trimmer with relay K3. During the preheat adjustment measure the tube current from TP4.

The jumper should normally short circuit pins 2 and 3 (right hand position) Note: Always remember to leave the jumper in the right hand position after servicing the unit. mACHK signal Comparator ICA6 monitors the mA feedback signal and activates the mAOk signal when mA is present. Buzzer Buzzer (BZ1) is activated with signal RG2. It indicates that X-rays are being generated. (Note: The buzzer is activated during an exposure without X-rays also; see section 3.4.3.1:Timing) C-arm angle measurement The c-arm angle measurement is done with a potentiometer in the c-arm brake assembly. The potentiometer gives a voltage proportional to the angle. This voltage is taken to the 12 bit, serial mode analog to digital converter ICA12.

3.4.3.5 Anode motor drive AMD BOARD The unit utilizes a rotating anode tube. The anode plate is accelerated with 230 VAC before the emission of electrons from cathode. During exposure, stator needs a certain running voltage (40-100 VAC), and after exposure the anode plate can be braked. All this is done with the phase control of a triac (V1). The control element is Telefunken TEA1007 (A7). Acceleration is achieved directly with mains voltage. During exposure, the firing angle of the triac is set to a level that corresponds the required RMS voltage. Braking is done by half wave rectified mains voltage. Acceleration and braking times are approx. 1 second. Safety features are also taken into account by monitoring the current of the triac. Should errors be detected, the microprocessor does not allow exposures. The exchange of information between the microprocessor and this board is optoisolated because the anode motor drive board is floating on mains voltage. 3.4.3.6 Mains transformer The power and control side of the unit uses only one 50/60 Hz transformer. It is a two slot 120 VA EI transformer. The first slot contains primary 220 V and secondary 15 V for the protection circuit of the power transistors ( this is done because the protection circuit is floating on mains voltage ), the second slot contains the actual secondary 2 x 24 V for AUX POWER.

Motor control
3.4.4.1 Motor control - general As you can see from the block diagram to the left, all interfacing between the microprocessor and the motors is handled by 8255 peripheral controllers (D8 and D16) on the CPU board. The one exception to this is BHOME signal, which goes directly to the 8031. The microprocessor writes to and reads from the 8255 when its chip select (pin 6) is active. Information is transferred back and forth on the data bus. Because of this, the outputs of the 8255 are the effective origin of the signals, and the inputs to it are effectively the final destination of all the signals. 3.4.4.2 C&Z DRIVER BOARD This board controls the compression and vertical drive motors (also called Cand Z movements). It also provides regulated +24V dc-voltage to the bucky. Both C- and Z- motors are +24V dc-motors which are driven with pulse width modulated (PWM) power supplies that can provide variable voltage control thus enabling a rough speed control. Each drive circuit consists of control circuit and two power transistors. The output voltage consists of +34 Volt pulses whose width determines the RMS voltage of the motor. This voltage is

Compression motor (C-motor) The compression motor has three different speeds: fixed high speed up, trimmer potentiometer controlled high speed down and trimmer potentiometer controlled low speed down. The purpose of these speeds is to provide "soft" compression. This is done by reducing the speed of the compression paddle as soon as the paddle reaches the breast.
The control of the compression is done by monitoring the compression motor's current which gives us a rough idea of what the actual torque of the motor is. The current of the motor is measured with resistor R29 and then compared to two predetermined threshold levels. The first threshold level, speed threshold, determines the force that the speed of the compression is reduced. Turn the trimmer potentiometer R43 to set this level. The second threshold level, current limit, determines the final compression force. Turn the trimmer potentiometer R33 to set the compression force. The CPU controls the compression movement with following signals: CDIR signal: This signal sets the status of the relay K1. It determines the polarity of the Cmotor voltage that is, the direction of the compression paddle. CRUN signal:

3.4.4.4 Anode motor After the hand switch has been depressed, the microprocessor will signal the 8255 (D8) on the CPU board to output four signals that are ANSTART, ANENA, ANRUN and ANSTOP. ANRUN is the first signal to go active, it is normally high to extend opto coupler life on the ANODE MOTOR DRIVER (AMD). It will go low in preparation for the ANENA signal so there is no arching when K1 relay on the AMD is pulled. After ANENA has enabled the anode motor, ANRUN goes high supplying the motor with 40 V. Seventy milliseconds later ANSTART goes low turning on the opto coupler A4, which pulls pin 6 of the motor controller (A7) high. This turns the triac V1 completely on supplying the rotor with 220 VAC. After nearly 1.5 seconds of boosting, ANSTART goes high again ending the boost phase so the voltage applied to the rotor drops back down to 40 V. After the exposure is finished, ANRUN goes low removing all power from the rotor so there will be no arching when ANSTOP pulls relay K2 to remove the phase shift capacitor and winding from the circuitry for the braking. An anode brake can be selected in the SETUP mode. The braking is done by applying a half wave rectified voltage to the main stator winding. This produces a stationary magnetic field acting on the rotor. The phase shift winding does not get any voltage. After the relay K2 has settled, ANRUN goes high again applying 40V half

The second amplifier A2 has a smaller gain which is adjustable to take into account differences between detectors, x-ray tubes and film/screen combinations. Trimpot R6 is for adjusting the offset voltage of A2. (NOTE: adjusted to 0 - offset in the factory) The AEC board replaces the phototimer board in the units manufactured since December 1994). In the AEC board the signal from the detector is taken to voltage to frequency converter after amplification. The software for this board is 7.xx or higher (6.35 and 6.55 also). The CPU board needs to be of version 1.2 or higher. 3.4.5.4 The CPU The CPU board looks at the pulses from the AEC board. The frequency of these pulses represents the radiation through the breast. The CPU converts the frequency into a variable called INTEGRATION time. The microprocessor plugs this time into a formula and calculates the exposure time. Integration time has a nonlinear effect on the exposure time, which is important to keep in mind when making adjustments.

E.01 Error message explanation NO TUBE CURRENT The FILAMENT CONTROL board compares the mA-feedback voltage MAFB to a reference value that is about 80% of the actual mA-reference voltage. When the feedback exceeds this reference value it sends a MAOK signal to the CPU board. If the CPU does not get this signal in 0.2 seconds after EXT signal, the processor terminates the exposure and gives error message E.01. This can depend of a problem either in kV- or in mA- circuitry, because if the high voltage (kV) is absent, anode current (mA) can not be produced. . a.
