1.2 Important Information
NOTE
This service manual is just a supplement to the service manuals of Ziehm Vista,
Ziehm Vision² and Ziehm Vision² FD. To perform proper service work you will need
the service manual of the standard unit also!
NOTE
The manual describes the equipment of units with option Vario 3D . Some of the
described parts and functions are not available on option Vario.
NOTE
For easier reference, system depending subject matter is marked with "VISTA" or
"VISION²" in this manual.
1.3 Warnings
WARNING
The monitor cart power module contains live voltage even when the unit is swit-
ched of from the C-arm or monitor cart keyboard or the emergency switch is
pushed in. Be sure to disconnect the unit from the mains supply when performing
service work to the unit.
WARNING
Never connect or disconnect P0 and/or P2 cable when the unit is in use.
WARNING
Before connecting your laptop via PARCAN/USB-CAN to a Ziehm Vista-based
unit, you have to switch off the Workstation inside the Monitor Cart. Otherwise the
Exposcop Studio Software won’t work properly.

28367 - 05/2008
1.4 Required tests after service
1.4.1 Tests after service
The following tests have to be performed after every service:

• Is the mechanics working properly in 2D Mode?
• Is the mechanics working properly in 3D Mode?
• Are all cables (P0-, P1-, P2-, mains and swivel cable)
in good condition?
• Is the touchscreen of the Vario Center working properly?
• Is the printout of the video printer okay?
• Is the system working fine?
• Perform electrical safety check according to relevant national regulation of the country of
installation.
Possible discrepancies have to be recorded in the service report.
1.4.2 Required calibration after service
If the final check does not match the allowed values, a calibration has to be performed.
This is mostly necessary, if following parts were dismounted:
− image intensifier
− generator
− CCD camera
− swivel arm, C profile
− carriage
With NaviPORT a navigation calibration has to be performed also if these parts were dismounted!

2.1 System description
Ziehm Vario 3D, Ziehm Vision² Vario 3D and Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D are based on platforms
of the standard units Ziehm Vista, Ziehm Vision² and Ziehm Vision² FD. They are positioned in the
higher technology level of the C-arm market and applied for 3D-reconstruction purposes with
interfaces for navigation-systems of well-known software manufactures.
The products are clearly differentiated to other solutions. The essential difference compared to
competitors systems is the systems variable iso-centric design, coupled with the motorized hori-
zontal and vertical movement for keeping the user-predefined variable iso-centre by its internal
cinematics. The principal advantage is, that in comparison to the fix-iso-centre a time-consuming
patient-positioning-process isn't necessary. That means, the C-arm can be adjusted to the posi-
tion of the patient.
The positive consequence is, that the variable iso-centre enables a smaller distance between the
object and the image intensifier what effects in higher image quality and a reduced patient ent-
rance dose exposure, because of the higher distance to the x-ray generator. The user has also
the opportunity for a free choose of the image intensifier/object distance and to vary it between
the individual exposures, e.g. for avoiding a possible collision during the scan.
A full orbital rotation through 190° degrees is not necessary. The user freely decides when a suf-
ficient amount of 3D image information has been gathered during the image acquisition cycle for
allowing optimum treatment assessment. Both functions contribute to excellent and quick 3D
image acquisition allowing sensitive handling of radiation. Furthermore, the 3D units are still
small, smart and simple. That is the reason why they can be used and moved similar to the stan-
dard units.

2.2 Main product features
The basic x-ray, imaging and mechanical product features remain as the standard units Ziehm
Vista, Ziehm Vision² and Ziehm Vision² FD.
Following product features were added with the options Vario and Vario 3D:
− semi-automatic variable iso-centric movement initiated by a manual orbital movement
(pivot rotation and swivelling - both are fixed by mechanical break at approx. 0°)
− iso-centric working with a small sized C-arm
(can be used and moved similar to a standard C-arm)
− elliptic path movement around the examined object
(a small object / image intensifier distance)
− free choose of the image intensifier / object distance and alternation
between the individual exposures
− DICOM interface to navigation systems
Following product features are available on option Vario 3D only:

− iterative 3D calculation
− tomographic visualisation (axial, sagital, coronal and variable slice-planes)
− 3D visualisation (particle model)

2.5 Definition of the axis
If we transfer the movements of the C-arm stand into a coordinate system, we can make things
easier in description. We are not talking about lifting column, horizontal carriage and C-arm.
We are talking about the axis, corresponding to the direction of movement. The X-axis is not
necessary for iso-centric image acquisition. As we have an orbital movement on the C-arm, this
axis is defined as C-axis.

4.7.2 Axis encoders
C- and Y-axis encoders are rotation operated, Z-axis encoder is cable (linkage) operated.
Therefore some of the signals are not necessary for the Z-axis encoder.
Jumpers J5 and J6 have no function because reset and changing direction is not possible on a
linkage encoder.

Pin 2: Switch b
The connector X16 is a relict from former version of the U470 board, where the Emergency button
was connected directly to the board to stop the motors in case of emergency.
The emergency loop was changed to switch off the entire unit, so the connector X16 is no longer
used and has to be short-cutted! Both Emergency buttons are connected to the power supply.
4.7.4 Foot switch
VISTA: The foot switch cable normally goes directly to the U327 board. Now it goes to the U470
board first. From there a new cable goes to the U327 board to deliver the X-ray switch signal
coming from the monitor cart, tricking the U327 to believe it is the foot switch.
Vision²: The foot switch cable normally goes directly to the U515 board. Now it goes to the U470
board first. From there a new cable goes to the U515 board to deliver the X-ray switch signal
coming from the monitor cart, tricking the U515 to believe it is the foot switch.
Foot switch B is routed directly through from the source to the U327 / U521 board.

4 DCU Board U470
4.12 Hardware description
4.12.1 Power supply
To supply the DCU board with power, the secondary winding (24V AC) of the main transformer
(TR1) in Module 1 (Trafoblech) is used.
On Ziehm Vista the lift motor is connected directly to this secondary winding.
Fig. 4-5 Power supply DCU board and lift motor
On Ziehm Vario the DCU board U470 is connected to this secondary winding. The lift motor and
it’s electronics are now exclusively feeded from this board. To prevent from distortions, there is no
ground connection to other parts.
The boards input and output voltages are protected from short circuits through extra fuses.

28367 - 05/2008
4 DCU Board U470
4.12.2 Drive motor controls
The board contains three identical PWM power stages (MOSFET H-bridge).
Only the Z-axis PWM power stage contains a current monitor which switches off the drive.
All drive motors are switched on by relays. The default state of the relays is OFF, the Z drive’s
default is switched to the standard lift motor electronics.
The drive motors have be able to turn forward and reverse with variable speed. Therefore the
Workstation sends PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals to the DCU board. On the board, the
signals are amplified and directed to the drive motors.
An 'emergency-loop' goes through the P2 cable to the monitor cart and is connected to the watch-
dog circuit of the workstation. The connector for the Emergency button is no longer in use since
the emergency buttons are connected to the power supply. For proper function the connector has
to be short-cutted all the time.
Each drive has an extra enable signal coming from the workstation and it switches on the motor
relay.
4.12.3 Limit switches
Each drive has two pairs of limit switches on each side of the moving range. One set is direction
depending, that means the electronics is able to move off the limit switch, whereas the outer pair
switches off the motor relay completely.
4.12.4 Encoder Signals
Each encoder outputs two signals (data valid and data multi-turn) to indicate proper working. Both
wires are OR-ed together on U470 to save wires going to the workstation (via XP2) for monitoring
the state of the encoders.

6 C- and Y-axis Sections
U473 / U474
Both axis have almost the same requirements and are therefore described together in this section.
The two PCB’s differ in their shape and dimension.
Board U473 belongs to the Y-axis.

Board U474 belongs to the C-axis.
Local Distribution board
The PCB’s are sitting close to the corresponding motor and encoder and combine the following
signals, which also means this represents a connector each:
• encoder wiring
• "left" limit switch final 2 pins SPST
• "right" limit switch final 2 pins SPST
• pivot rotation locked switch (Y-axis only) 2 pins SPST
• wig-wag locked switch (Y-axis only) 2 pins SPST
• solenoid control (C-axis only)
• clutch and brake locked switch (C-axis only) unused
All the signals going from the U470 board to the C- and Y-axis are using one cable.
Only the solenoid of the C-axis is connected via a separate round shielded cable.
U474 has an extra connector therefore.

7.1 Description
This axis wiring is very different compared to Y or C, because it shares the lift motor and its control
section, which is part of the power supply board U333 (VISTA) / U515 (Vision²).
There is NO distribution board as intended for the Y- and C-axis.
Different cables go directly to different locations from the U470 = DCU board (drive control unit).

28367 - 05/2008
28367 - 05/2008
8 Vision² IOCU Board U471
VISTA: The board is mounted close to the workstation, behind the printer on a metal sheet carrier,
which also carries a 5-port network switch (Hub) and an additional fan.
Vision²: The board is mounted in front of the workstation on a metal sheet carrier in the bottom of
the monitor cart.
The U471 combines all the signals from the workstaion with adaptations and buffering if neces-
sary to pass it over to the mobile stand via the XP2 connector and cable.
8.1.1 Ground considerations
The workstation (WS) provides the power +5V and +12V to all the control electronics on this IOCU
board. The video path has also the same ground as the WS. A -5V voltage is generated on the
board for the video buffers.
The TFT on the mobile stand draws its power directly from the WS via the P2 cable, its video sig-
nals have the same ground.
The differential signals for the encoders are optic-isolated from the WS world, this is done by the
I/O board (APC1710) inside the workstation. A lot of further control signals (TTL level only) come
from the APC1710 board but are NOT optic-isolated. An isolation is provided on the U471.
Another isolation is necessary between the HEDIS and the WS. The video path has the same
ground, but the X-ray control signals which are read by the WS, are optic-isolated on U471.
All signals from and to the mobile stand are isolated. All electronics in the mobile stand related to
the option Vario 3D are referenced to the lift motor power supply, which is independent now.
The foot switch itself has no reference and can be connected directly (via P2 cable) here to the
U471 input stage. The output signal for radiation is switched by a relay.
8.1.2 Watchdog
A watchdog circuitry is located on the board. It is triggered by the software running on the work-
station. The software has to re-trigger the monostable multivibrator (Monoflop) within 200 ms to
enable the emergency loop for proper functionality of the system.
Running at maximum speed the axes will move at the utmost 8 mm distance within the 200 ms
watchdog time window.

28367 - 05/2008
8.1.3 X-Ray Safety Logic
The following signals are combined (logical AND).

Only if all signals are in there proper state, X-raying can be activated:
− NOTAUS = emergency loop is OK
− Watchdog is running (triggered)
− Workstation has set the "Radiation-On" signal
If the user now presses the foot switch he can start X-raying.
It is understood, that the software checks many more things before it will activate the "Radiation-
On" signal when foot switch is pressed!
CAUTION
The handswitch is not monitored by the workstation and can enable radiation on
any time you press it!

8.11 Risk Prevention
All the electronics described in this chapter draw their power directly from the added workstation.
Therefore there is no ground separation between the U471 board and the workstation.
The following parts are opto-coupled to prevent tricky ground loops:
− Reading the status signals about X-raying from HEDIS.
− Reading the foot switch.
− To actuate X-ray On in the mobile stand, a relay is used.
Some fuses on the IOCU board will prevent damage due to short circuits, especially in the many
new cables being installed.

9 Drive Controls
9.1 Controls
Beside the Vario Center (VISTA), the differences compared to standard unit are the drives for the
axis. The drives are controlled by the Workstation. The motors have to turn forward and reverse
in various speeds. This is handled via PWM signals. To get the actual position of the axis, the
Workstation receives the encoder signals and generates the PWM signals for the motors.
Fig. 9-1 Block diagram controls
9.2 PWM Principals
A PWM signal in common is a AC square voltage which is varied in the width of the pulses.
PWM = Pulse Width Modulation
Compared to a reference voltage, an "averaged" DC voltage can be built of the signal.
The wider the pulse, the higher the average DC voltage.
To enable the motor to turn in both directions, in Ziehm Vario the reference voltage has the same
value as the averaged voltage from a 1:1 Pulse/Pause relation (B, → Fig. 9-2). The motor is stan-
ding still then. By increasing the pulse width, the averaged voltage becomes more positive, the
motor turns forward. By decreasing the pulse width, the averaged voltage becomes more nega-
tive, the motor turns reverse.
If the motors would be supplied with a simple DC voltage, they couldn’t evolve their full turning
moment. With PWM control this is possible because there’s always the "full voltage" available.

9.3 Drives Chains
The PWM signals from the Workstation are amplified on PCB U470. To direct the amplified signal
to the motor, different conditions have to be fullfilled. Current monitor, limit switches and the follo-
wing signals enable the relay (? means the corresponding axis):
• Global_Release
• Watchdog Trigger
• ?_MOT_ENA
• PWM_?
The encoder recognizes the movement of the motor and delivers the actual state of the axis back
to the Workstation.

Vario Center and the CD-RW drive.
Fig. 10-4 Block diagram human interface
10.3.1 Keyboard and trackball
The keyboard and especially the trackball (mouse) are necessary to control the user interface.
Both are connected via a PS2-Y-cable to the Slot CPU. The BIOS of the CPU card is configured
to check if trackball and keyboard are present. If they are disconnected, the workstation does not
proceed with the bootup.
10.3.2 Displays
The graphics board supplies two monitors via DVI connectors.

The operation system supports the function to split one screen to two different monitors. On the
Ziehm Vario these are the Vario Center (touchscreen) with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels and
the right flatscreen (monitor cart) with a resolution of 1024x1280 pixels with pivot function used.
The Vario Center is defined as Monitor 1, the right flatscreen as Monitor 2.
The operation system automatically sets the first located monitor as No. 1. In case of wrong (swit-
ched) displays, connect only the Vario Center to the graphics board and start up the unit. Shut
down the unit via button OFF on the Vario Center. Connect the flatscreen to the graphics board
and start up the unit again.

12.1 General information
The harddisk installed in the workstation has two partitions. The first partition, drive letter "C:", con-
tains the operation system Windows 2000® as well as the Vario specific software. The second par-
tition, drive letter "T:" contains the image database and a safety copy of the operation system.
NOTICE
Windows 2000® supports synchronous working with two monitors. This function is
used on the Ziehm Vario 3D (VISTA).
The Touchscreen on the Vario Center is Monitor 1, the right flatscreen on the moni-
tor cart is Monitor 2. If you touch the touchscreen, the mouse pointer is set to this
monitor. On monitor 1 most of Note windows are displayed. Place the unit in a way

12.3 Communication between HEDIS and Workstation
The network functions in Ziehm Vario 3D are not only used for DICOM transfers, but also for the
communication between the two computers.
HEDIS and Workstation are connected via an ethernet switch (network router) integrated in the
monitor cart.
NOTICE
The ethernet switch is also installed if the unit was ordered "without DICOM" (no
network socket on the rear cover). In this case, a static IP address is given to the
HEDIS and you are not allowed to change the DICOM settings for the 3D Worksta-
tion!
If there is a network socket in the rear cover, it is absolutely necessary to give both computers an
IP address and a subnet mask, even if DICOM is not used in the hospital.
The IP addresses must be in the same subnet range!
(HEDIS: XXX.XXX.XXX.AAA, Workstation XXX.XXX.XXX.BBB)
The password for the DICOM Settings on Workstation and HEDIS is "DICOM".
IP address ZiehmNetport: 192.168.127.080 Vario IP address: 192.168.127.215

IP subnet mask: 255.255.255.000 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Network settings HEDIS Network settings Workstation

Fig. 12-1 Example for network settings
The communication between HEDIS and Workstation takes place using different network proto-
cols.

28367 - 05/2008
12 Software
Common function requests like printing from the Workstation or transferring kV/mA values from
the HEDIS are handled via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) from both sides.
Because the CD drive is connected to the Workstation, files have to be transferred on read/write
requests from the HEDIS. This is handled via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
Example: HEDIS should retrieve DICOM images from CD
The HEDIS sends an UDP Broadcast "IPINFO <IP address HEDIS> <Unit Serial No.>".
The Workstation answers with "IPINFO <IP address Workstation> <Unit Serial No.>".
Why is the unit’s serial number important?
A broadcast is always sent to all participants of the network. Via the serial number both computers,
HEDIS and Workstation, recognize they are meant.
Therefore it is important, the correct serial number is given to the Workstation (→ Ch. 12.5).
Otherwise, no further communication can take place!
NOTICE
The HEDIS memory retrieves the unit’s serial number from the mobile stand.
Don’t mix up different Vario C-arm stands and monitor carts!
If the Workstation has the correct serial number, it will receive a request from the HEDIS to read
out the contents of the CD.
The Workstation reads the table of contents from the CD into a file INFO.TXT and stores it in the
folder T:\INTERFACE.
The HEDIS repeats its request for this file as long as it is available in the folder to transfer. Then
the file is transferred via FTP to the HEDIS and read out.
If the HEDIS asks for a specific patient afterwards, the procedure starts again - requests via UDP,
file transfers via FTP.

12.7 FAQ
Printout does not work

Double check the DICOM settings. Click on Settings (right monitor),
then DICOM Settings. Vario IP address and Subnet mask must be inserted.
The Vario IP address must be in the same subnet as the HEDIS IP address.
Check the unit’s serial number in Settings.
I cannot write a CD from the HEDIS memory, there’s always a message Sync-Error - Vario.ret
Choose another CD-R. Double check the settings in program TFTPD32.
Check the unit’s serial number in Settings.
Both functions relate to a proper working network communication.

If all measures before don’t solve the problem, set the "Vario IP adress" as "IP addr. DICOM
server" in the HEDIS DICOM Storage Server settings and press F6 for verify.

3D Calibration

28367 - 05/2008
28367 - 05/2008
14 3D Calibration
14.1 General
A calibration of the system is necessary as the C-arm doesn’t move on a static pathes during the
scan due to mechanical deformations. The calibration is done with special test phantoms:
Fig. 14-1 Test phantoms: Cube (Part No. 60352) and Isocentricity (Part No. 60367)
Inside the test phantoms are one or two steel balls with a diameter of 3 mm. The steel ball is the
object of interest in this test, it’s dimensions are well-known by the system.
During the calibration procedure, which consists of three scans with different settings, the system
detects the position of the steel ball, measures the deviation to the defined ISO center and calcu-
lates the necessary correction for each angle.
The calibration has been done once before the unit was delivered.
To prove the accuracy of the system, regular testing is necessary.
A quick evaluation of the calibration can be done with the help of the Cine run and the centering
cross displayed on the Vario Center screen.
In best case, the steel ball should stay in the center of the cross all the time. Due to the mechanical
deformations, this is not applicable.
The maximum allowed deviation from the center is 2 mm. So the calibration is ok, if the steel ball
touches the cross in each image.
The test should be performed at least once a month.
14.2 Magic Codes
The Vario software has some hidden functions called "Magic Codes".
These functions are necessary for service only and shall not be given to the user!
If you are not sure, which version is running on the system, switch to the 3D mode and have a look
at the settings. There you will find the actual version.
Up to software RoboC_V4_5 (VISTA only):

28367 - 05/2008
14 3D Calibration
Touch the green area of the Vario Center touch screen and enter the 4-digit magic Code on the
steel keyboard, followed by Return key.
Note: You have to touch somewhere on the green area always before typing a Magic Code!
Software RoboC_V5_0:
On Vision² Vario, connect an USB keyboard to the unit’s interface board on the backside of the
monitor cart first.
Type "servicemode“ followed by Return key on the steel / USB keyboard.
NOTE
Activation of Service Mode will be acknowledged with a beep by the system.
The Service Mode stays active in background, you can type in the Magic Codes
directly.

14.3 Preparing the test equipment
CAUTION
The test has to be done with radiation!
Take care of protecting you from radiation and ensure no other person can enter
the control area!
As mentioned before, the object of interest is the steel ball inside the test phantom. Therfore it has
to be placed on an underground without any metal.
For example, you could use two bucks and a styrofoam plate. If you do not have such equipment,
you should use a carbon operation table, if available.
Of course, you can also use the tripod from the foam-rubber-lined test kit case.
Fig. 14-2 Test equipment arrangement
To prevent from collision with walls etc. during the rotation of the C, you should first turn the C-
axis to LAT (0°) position and Y-axis to 21 cm and fix both brakes. So you can be sure to have
enough space for the scans.
