PROGRAM VERSION 7.30 - See Section 7.23
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). NOTE! A cooling time of 5 to 55 sec. between exposure is implemented also in the service mode. This will protect the unit from not being overloaded during testing.

3.2.2 Program (Pr) mode This mode can be entered from nor- and SEr-mode. Usually this is done when the unit is installed to adjust exposure parameters to the conditions at the site. The preset kV can be programmed in semi AEC mode from 23 to 35 kV for bucky and cassette tunnel, and 25-35 for magnification. The film/screen combinations (FI) are: mAs-display FI1 FI2 FI3 FI4 FI5 FI6 film Min - RE Microvision Min - RE AGFA MR3+ Fuji M-1 HI-Mammo M1 Konica AGFA MR Detail cassette/screen Min - R (Kodak/Kodak) Min - R (Dupont/Kodak) Min - R/Medium AGFA MR Detail Fuji MI-MA
In manual mode default kVs can be programmed from 20 to 35 kV. Pressing AUTOREL sends all the data for all exposures after last RESET to serial port (RS-232). The port can be connected to a printer. Pressing AUTOEXP enters the AEC stations, which can be programmed with the key functions as described below.

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. Thickness compensation adjustment Software versions 7.27 and greater utilize a thickness compensation method which compensates for variations in optical density (O.D) of the film. The rotation point can be programmed. The amount of rotation and compensation curve slopes below and above the rotation point can be programmed separately. Rotation point P Rotation point is the exposure time where the O.D is adjusted correctly. Thickness compensation is achieved by altering the exposure time around this point. Default value is 1.00. Amount of rotation r1 and r2 Parameters r1 and r2 determine the amount of compensation with exposure times shorter or longer than the rotation point respectively. r1 determines the amount of compensation at the point where exposure time is half the rotation point. r2 determines the amount of compensation at exposure time twice the rotation point. The values of r1 and r2 can vary from 0.70 to 1.30. If the parameter is 1.30 it means that exposure times are increased by 30%. If the parameter is 0.80 it means that the exposure times are decreased by 20% etc. Default values are 1.0 for both.

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.

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
Alpha/Performa
Choose either the 9-pin or pin 25-pin version. To see that the communication works properly, you might want to add a pair of LED's between GND and both data lines. This can be done with two 1000 ohm resistors connected in series with the LEDs. The direction of leds is not important because both (input and output) channels have voltage levels from -12 to +12 volt.

3.3.2 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 Data formats Performa, ALPHA III/ST/RT/IQ can send two different groups of data: 1) Diagnostic information about the system, like serial number, exposure parameters and number of error situations. This information can be sent to serial channel by pressing AEXP in the diA/inf-mode. This is meant to be sent to either PC or printer. An example of this data is displayed on the next page:

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. Exposure times in both manual and AEC mode are calculated and controlled by software and the microprocessor.

D15 on the CPU board is an 8279, which is a keyboard controller. It will strobe each column looking for a return on one of the rows, which it will only find when a switch is pressed. For example, if the circled switch is closed, the resulting timing chart will be as given in fig. 3.2.

This will let the CPU know that the switch S2/R0 is pressed. The software defines that the switch is the kV-button and decreases the kVref on the PULSE board. The hand switch (exposure button) signal is fed through the CPU board to the pulse board where it becomes an enable for the exposure circuitry before it is fed back to the CPU board as signal EXP2 on connector X5 pin 9. This allows the operator to stop the exposure in the event of a CPU board malfunction. 3.4.2.2 Collimator lamp operation When the COMPRESSION DOWN switch is activated, in addition to the CPU turning on the compression motor, it also sends a signal called PROJ RELAY, and starts a software timer. The PROJ RELAY signal is fed to the SUPPLY board where it activates relay K1 turning on the collimator lamp. The lamp is shut off when the timer runs out ( about 8 sec.) or the hand switch is pressed and the exposure sequence is started.

3.4.3.1 INVERTER BOARD The INVERTER Board controls the high voltage (kV) generation. The kV level is digitally set by the CPU board. The Inverter Board contains a high voltage and a low voltage section. The high voltage section is isolated from the low voltage section with pulse transformers TF1, TF2 and relays K1,K2. WARNING! Voltages in the high voltage part of the INVERTER Board are deadly. The peak to 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 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 by the pulse transformers TF1 and TF2. TF3 is a current transformer which monitors the bridge current. If the bridge current exceeds the pre-adjusted current limit the control circuit in the low voltage section turns the MOSFETs off. Timing: The line voltage is applied through the connector X1. When an exposure is initiated, relays K1 and K2 provide the rest of the board with line voltage. Relays K1 and K2 are activated with signals RG1 and RG2 respectively. K1 applies voltage to the bridge rectifier D3 through the current limiting resistor R1 which allows controlled charging of the energy storage capacitor (connected to X2). K2 is activated approximately 0.8 seconds later and provides the circuit with full power. Finally, the activation of the EXPENA signal (TP17) enables the H-bridge drive circuitry. Low voltage section: kV control: The high voltage is regulated by adjusting the H-bridge's operating frequency. This is done by comparing the feedback signal (HVFB) from the high voltage unit with the reference from the CPU BOARD and taking the error signal to the frequency modulator circuit (ICA1, ICA4, ICD1, ICD2). The output is taken to ICA5 and ICA6 which drive the pulse transformers TF1 and TF2.

EXPENA signal: An exposure is initiated by the CPU BOARD by activation of the EXPENA signal. This enables pulse transformer drivers (ICA5, ICA6) and allows the kV reference signal to rise providing "soft start". TUBEFAIL signal: TUBEFAIL signal is activated if the kVFB signal does not reach the kV reference. This typically occurs during a high voltage breakdown. A SHUTDOWN for the kV control is provided. As the high voltage breakdown is characteristic to x-ray tubes, and hence may occur during normal operation, the exposure is continued with a new activation of the EXPENA signal. The CPU Board allows three (3) tube failures per exposure before an error message (E02) is displayed. Test Switch: Test switch S1 allows an exposure sequence to continue regardless of the kVFB signal. In "TEST" position the TUBEFAIL signal is forced down . Note! The Test Switch S1 should always be at "NORMAL" position whenever the high voltage part of the INVERTER BOARD is energized. Failing to do this may damage the INVERTER BOARD, HIGH VOLTAGE UNIT and the X-RAY TUBE. An exposure without X-rays: It is possible to check the operation of kV control circuitry without X-rays. 1. 2. 3 4. 5. 6.

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.

Refer to the documents in section 7. 3.4.3.2 The high voltage unit In the secondary of the high voltage transformer, there is a voltage doubler. As one half of the inverter is conducting, secondary current flows through one set of diodes, charging one of the 1.2 nF capacitors in the tank. When the other half is conducting, the current flows through the other set of diodes and charges the other 1.2 nF capacitor. Since the capacitors are connected in series, the voltage across the capacitors is double the voltage of secondary. There is a 450 Mohm resistor connected to the high voltage output forming the upper leg of the voltage division. On the Inverter board is the lower leg over which the control circuit measures the voltage. The modulator compares this voltage to that of a reference and changes the output frequency, if necessary, to maintain the proper kV. The output of the hV-unit is directly connected to the anode of the tube with a high voltage cable. The unit also contains a rubber bottle because of the expansion of oil volume due to rising temperature.

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 pulse width will vary depending on what is required to maintain proper mA. 3.4.3.4 FILAMENT CONTROL BOARD The CPU board begins the mA generation cycle when it sees the EXP2 signal from the FILAMENT CONTROL Board. The EXP2 is activated from the exposure button. The control of the mA and kV are handled through the serial to parallel converter / latch (ICD3). The latch is configured to have four major functions: 1. Control/Timing 2. Serial output back to the CPU board 3. kV reference 4. mA reference kV reference The kV reference is converted into eight (8) parallel DATA bits which contain the kV reference information for the INVERTER BOARD. The kV reference occupies ICD3 pins 23 through 30. mA reference The mA reference is converted into eight (8) parallel DATA bits which contain the mA reference information. The mA reference occupies ICD3 pins 11 through 18.

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. EXT signal: The EXT signal enables the kV generation. FOCUS signal: The FOCUS signal changes the mA feedback circuit according to the selected X-ray tube focal spot size. It also changes the filament that is being powered. When FOCUS signal is high (led H1) a small focus (0.1) is selected. PREH signal: The PREH signal changes the filament control mode from preheat to normal exposure. The jumper X8 is used to disable the PREH signal during testing. PREHREL signal: A preheat sequence is initiated before each exposure (before activation of the EXT signal) with the PREHREL signal. This activates the relay K2, providing +34V input voltage for the filament power supply and the INVERTER BOARD. The PREHREL signal enables the mA control circuit also. mA feedback: Feedback voltage to the filament power supply controller ICA8 is selected with the analog switches ICA10. The source depends on the control signal EXT as follows: STATUS preheat sequence normal exposure stand by EXT (TP8) passive (0V) active (+15V) passive (0V) FEEDBACK SOURCE Filament voltage mA feedback Filament voltage

Jumper X8: The jumper X8 is used for keeping the filament control in preheat mode during the whole exposure. This is intended for testing purposes only. 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. The control signals and data signal comes from the CPU board to connector X12. FB MISS signal The FB MISS signal is activated if the feedback cable is not connected. This is to protect the high voltage transformer in case the feedback connector is accidentally left open. Activation of this signal disables the EXP2 signal to the CPU board. This feature requires that the unit has cabling that short circuits pins 1 and 2 in X4. If the unit does not have that kind of cabling you can use the board if you install a jumper connector X11 that grounds the pin 2. Back Up Timer: The Back Up Timer disables both the K2 and the EXPENA signal for the INVERTER Board providing a SHUTDOWN approximately fifteen (15) seconds after the activation of the EXT signal. This is a safety feature only and does not affect normal operation. Test Switch: The test switch S1 allows an exposure sequence to continue regardless of the mAOK' signal which indicates that tube current is present. X-ray tube bias The filament is biased by having the tube current going trough a bias resistor ( 0, 220 or 300 ohms).The value of the resistor is determined at the factory separately for each tube and should therefore not be changed or modified.

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. A grounded static shield is situated between these slots. 3.4.3.7 Energy storage capacitor The energy storage capacitor is used for smoothing the rectified mains voltage fed to the POWER board. It is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor 2200 uF / 400 V with a 4K7 /11W bleeder resistor. 3.4.3.8 Motor phase shift capacitor The motor phase shift capacitor is needed to rotate the anode plate. Its capacitance is 40 uF / 450 V. 3.4.3.9 Tube housing assembly Contains expansion systems and thermal switches and tube insert. 3.4.3.10 X-ray tube bias circuit (M101G)
The filament of the M101G X-ray tube is biased by having the tube current going trough a bias resistor (0, 220 or 300 ohms).The value of the resistor is determined at the factory separately for each tube and should therefore not be changed or modified.

3.4.4 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 proportional to the reference voltage applied to the control circuitry. The operating frequency for both drives is app. 30kHz. Carriage motor (Z-motor) This is also called vertical drive motor. The vertical drive has two speeds. The movement is started with slow speed that allows accurate positioning of the carriage. After app. 2 seconds the faster speed is activated. The CPU controls the vertical movement with two signals: ZDIR signal: This signal sets the status of the relay K3. It determines the polarity of Zmotor voltage that is, the direction of the carriage. ZRUN signal: This signal activates the PWM circuit (ICA5) which applies voltage to the motor. The RC circuit R60 and C21 determine the slow speed time interval. Lower Limit, Upper Limit These signals provide a way to limit the movement. When Lower/Upper Limit signal is low only upwards/downwards direction is enabled. This is for future purposes.

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: This signal activates the PWM circuit (ICA4) which applies voltage to the motor. The reference voltage is selected from three different speed references with analog switch ICD5. The choice depends on the direction of the compression paddle and the speed threshold level. SPEED signal: (for future purposes) This signal enables the CPU to reduce the compression speed regardless of the speed threshold level. CMAN signal: This signal activates the relay K2 which connects diode D10 across the motor terminals. The purpose of this diode is to prevent the motor from rotating when the breast is under compression. +24Vin Bucky: Linear regulator ICA6 provides regulated +24V dc-voltage to bucky control board.

Make sure the paddle travels in high speed (free air) at all angles. If not increase the speed threshold level. Adjust the final compression force with trimmer R33. The compression force limit can be adjusted by software setting in service program (version 7.36 and up).

If the line voltage suddenly disappears the compression paddle is driven up. This is implemented with a back up transformer in the back of the unit. The back up transformer is energized whenever the unit is connected to the line supply. This back up transformer provides power for the relay K4 on the Filament Control board. When this relay is powered the compression motor is driven normally. When the relay is not activated the motor is driven upwards with the voltage in the capacitors C20 -C31 on the Filament Control board. The status of the relay K4 is indicated with a LED next to the main switch.

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 wave rectified voltage to the stator. To begin braking shortly after that ANSTART goes low applying the full 220 V half wave rectified voltage to the stator. STARTOK and RUNOK are two signals that the CPU monitors on during the boost and run phase respectively. They will go low if the voltage during each phase falls between the window set up by the two comparators for each signal. 3.4.4.5 Bucky motor At the beginning of the exposure, the CPU checks that the grid is in its proper position using the bucky home signal coming from the BUCKY CONTROL board. The proper position is just after the reversal of the grid direction. After this and about 100 milliseconds before the exposure, the bucky on signal (pin 7 of X1) goes high, which pulls the relay K1 and thus connects the bucky motor to the BUCKY CONTROL board. The BUCKY CONTROL board uses a photo interrupter to sense the position of the grid. The input photodiode of this sensor is connected between pins 5 and 6 of X3, and the output photo-transistor is connected across pins 3 and 4 of X3 on the board. During the normal speed, the phototransistor conducts and thus grounds the base of transistor V7 and connects the bucky motor to the adjustable output of A1. Just before the change of the grid direction the phototransistor stops conducting, and the bucky motor is connected to a higher voltage through relay K2 thus making the change of the direction as quick as possible. After the change the speed returns to normal again. After the exposure the grid is driven back to the proper position.

3.4.5 Automatic exposure control (AEC)
3.4.5.1 AEC - general There AEC consists basically of three parts to the circuit, the DETECTOR, the AEC board and the CPU board. 3.4.5.2 The Detector The detector is a package containing 34 diodes connected in parallel. As X-ray strikes the diodes, they begin to leak current from the cathode to anode. The amount of current each diode leaks is related to the amount of X-ray it receives. Since the diodes are connected in parallel, the total current draw of the detector is the total of all diodes current draw. 3.4.5.3 AEC BOARD There are four basic connections to the AEC board. The main power is connected to X1, unregulated +18VDC supply to X1/1, analog ground to X1/2 and unregulated -18VDC supply to X1/3. The detector connects to X2 (cathode), X3 (detector shield) and X4 (anode). The detector can be measured as a diode. The connector X6 is for static shield. The purpose of the shield is to protect the phototimer board from major electrical interferences and X-rays. The CPU is connected with the phototimer through connectors X1/8 (AUTOEXP, information from the CPU) and X1/7 (AECFRQ information to the CPU). The CPU also provides the +5VDC supply through X1/5 = +5VDC, X1/6 = ground. The signal from the detector is taken to the first amplifier ICA1 which is the preamplifier. Besides amplifying it also does the current to voltage conversion. Trimpot R2 is for adjusting the offset voltage of ICA1. (NOTE: adjusted to 0 - offset in the factory)

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.

Up, Down and Return switches are also available on the circuit board for service purposes. Motor control The C-arm movement is handled by a pulse width modulated (PWM) DC motor. The speed of the C-arm and ECS are separately adjusted with trimmer potentiometers R37 (C-arm) and R59 (ECS respectively. The PWM control circuit ICA3 (TL494) controls the motor voltage according the reference voltage (TP3). The motor is activated by pulling the *MOTOR ENABLE signal down. The direction of the C-arm is determined by relay K2. The default direction of the C-arm is down. Movement limits The C-arm movement limits are sensed with two photointerrupters on the electronic circuit board (ICD9 and ICD10). When the limit is reached a metal plate enters the photointerrupter slot turning the photointerrupter transistor off.

Control signals: Up and down The user can move the C-arm up and down with a switch located on the cover or with a footpedal. The *CARM UP signal activates relay K2 and changes the direction of the motor drive. The motor drive is enabled if the C-arm is not in it's upper limit. *CARM DWN signal moves the C-arm down. The motor drive is enabled if the C-arm is not in it's lower limit. Return The user can return the C-arm to it's normal position (down) by pressing the return switch. This activates D-flip flop ICD6 if the relay K2 is not activated (that is if the direction of the C-arm is down). When the lower limit is reached the flip flop is reset and motor drive is disabled. Autorelease The autorelease function returns the C-arm down after an exposure. The information of an exposure is derived from control signals for ANODE MOTOR DRIVE board (connectors X5 and X6). ANENA signal is active during preheat sequence and an exposure. If the compression paddle is driven up after exposure, the C-arm is returned down after the compression paddle has reached it's upper limit. The information of compression paddle movement is derived from compression motor encoder (connector X8). Compression current limit The information of the compression reaching it's current limit is derived from the compression motor voltage (connector X3 pins 10 and 11). When the breast is being compressed (paddle moving) the optocoupler ICD11 A and B are activated.

Place the RMI 156 phantom on the bucky in the same position as a breast. The nipple indent marker should be positioned away from the chest wall. Use a standard 18 x 24 or 24 x 30 size compression paddle. Set the AEC detector to an inward position under the wax portion of the phantom. Make an exposure and process the exposed film. This image will represent the imaging abilities of your machine using these clinical factors. If the image is over or under exposed, make a AEC adjustment and repeat the exposure. Once an acceptable image has been obtained, have one or more viewers identify and record which objects are seen. Use a magnifying glass to look for the structures as you would on a patients mammogram. Use the phantom scoring procedure on the following pages to score system performance. Make another exposure using magnification table and score that image. Mark both films with the date, kV, mAs and their scores and file them for future reference.

MECHANICAL CHECKS
4.3.1 Compression system The part of the equipment which undergoes the most use is the compression system, so it needs regular attention and treatment when necessary. Spread some grease (MBDE or other high-quality grease) on the compression driving axle and support joints. If the driving wheels are noisy or the hand wheels difficult to rotate, we strongly recommend that you remove the C-arm and grease the inside of the compression system. Check also the digital compression display according to the test described in the Installation Instruction. 4.3.2 C-arm rotation brake Check that the brake has 110 N (24 lbs.) of holding force, if necessary tighten the four nyloc nuts to increase holding force if necessary. Check that only 20 N (4 lbs.) of force is needed when the brake is disengaged. If required, loosen the four nyloc nuts or remove one disc spring pair. Recheck the 110N (24 lbs.) holding force. 4.3.3 Column and carriage Check all cables, especially the cables coming from the C-arm. Check also the counter weight wire condition. 4.3.4 Compression force checking Place a scale under the paddle and compress it like a breast using hand wheels. The mechanical clutch should stop the compression movement before the pressure reaches 250 N (55 lbs.). If the compression exceeds this, adjust the clutch by removing the back cover of the C-arm and turning the sealed and labeled screw. Do not forget to lock the screw after adjustment. 4.3.5 Testing the x-ray field illumination Select the desired film size, load the film into the cassette and put the cassette and diaphragm in their places. Select the manual mode (25 kV, 20 mAs). Place a piece of white paper (18 x 24 and/or 24 x 30) on the cassette holder so that the light field can be seen clearly. Place for example some coins in the corners of the area illuminated on the cassette holder and make an exposure. Develop the film. The coins on the film should not be more than +- 5 mm out of the exposed field. If they are, adjustment must be performed for the light field.

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. b. c. CONNECTORS. Check that all connectors on INVERTER and FILAMENT CONTROL boards are properly installed SUPPLY VOLTAGES. Check that all supply voltages are present (See section 5.28). FILAMENT MOSFETs. Turn the unit off. Connect the common of your DVM to the leg of resistor R38 and plus to the leg of resistor R50. You should read .4 volts using diode range. mA REFERENCE.

This disconnect the filaments from their power supply On Filament Board move jumper X8 between pins 1 & 2. The jumper is normally between 2 & 3. This forces the filament supply always to take it's feedback from the filament voltage even during an exposure. Normally during an exposure the feedback is taken from the tube current. On Filament Board move Switch S1 to "TEST" position. This disables the CPU from getting the error message (E01) because of the missing tube current.
