Technical Specifications

  1. Control Axes:
    • Supports 1–4 axes of simultaneous coordinated motion control .
    • Configurable for servo or stepper motors per axis .
  2. Control Modes:
    • Position, velocity, and force/pressure control .
    • Closed-loop (with feedback) or open-loop (stepper-only) operation .

Detailed content

  1. Feedback Interfaces:
    • Quadrature encoders (incremental/absolute) with Phase A/B/Index inputs .
    • Analog sensors (e.g., displacement, pressure) via 8 multiplexed ADC channels (12-bit resolution) .
  2. Motion I/O Connector:
    • 68-pin VHDCI connector for axis signals (limits, home switches, analog outputs) .
    • Digital I/O: 32-bit programmable pins, breakpoint outputs (64 mA sink current) .
  3. Real-Time Performance:
    • Trajectory update rate: 62.5–500 µs/sample (max 4-axis sync at 250 µs) .
    • PID loop update rate: 62.5 µs .
  4. Processor Architecture:
    • Dual-processor design: 32-bit CPU + DSP + custom FPGAs .
