Description
The product features part numbers 778924-02 and 778417-01, designed to interface with PCI systems. It operates as a Stepper Motion Controller, supporting up to 4 coordinated or independent axes for versatile motion control applications.
Its input capabilities include 8 single-ended multiplexed inputs with 12-bit resolution, ensuring precise data acquisition. For outputs, it offers 4 outputs, 4 digital I/O ports with 8-bit resolution, and 2 PWM outputs capable of 50 kHz, also with 8-bit resolution, enabling a wide range of control and feedback mechanisms.
At its core, the controller utilizes a dual-processor architecture that incorporates a 32-bit CPU, custom FPGAs, and DSP, ensuring robust and efficient processing capabilities. This is complemented by a FIFO bus interface, allowing for efficient data handling and throughput.
The controller supports both open-loop and closed-loop operation modes, accommodating a variety of motion control strategies. It also features comprehensive Motion I/O options, including encoder feedback, home switch input, and end-of-travel limit among others, for enhanced motion control and safety.
To facilitate interaction with external devices, it provides 4 analog inputs for joystick inputs, ±10 V signals, and analog sensors monitoring, alongside a 32-bit digital I/O, ensuring versatile connectivity and integration capabilities.
Connection to the controller is made through 2 68-pin female high-density VHDCI connectors, offering high-density, reliable connections. Furthermore, the controller maintains efficiency with a power consumption of only 5.7 W, optimizing its use in energy-sensitive applications.
