ACS driver module for the operation of different motor and encoder types, can be configured for a variety of applications. 4 axes, 5 A continuous current per axis possible. 4 motor brakes via PWM brake driver, reduced heat generation of the motor brake. Motion profiles are generated by an external motion controller (not included) and received via EtherCAT.

Compact controller with integrated drivers for controlling hexapods for industrial applications. This controller is ideally suited for the operation of parallel kinematics that are equipped with BLDC motors and do not contain motor drivers. Hexapods with motor brakes and encoder connection via BiSS C are supported. In combination with suitable hardware, the controller can meet the requirements of SIL 3 in accordance with EN IEC 62061 and thus guarantee a high level of functional safety for safety-related applications (certification pending).

High-performance controller for controlling hexapods (6-axis parallel kinematics). Supports a wide range of drive types as the controller only provides the control signals, whereas the motor drivers are located in the hexapod or in a separate driver box. The controller supports all currently available standard hexapods from PI and, in addition, customized parallel kinematics. In addition, the motor drivers for two further single axes can be controlled.

The G-902 motion controllers offer a fully integrated electronics solution with controller and driver in a flat 19-inch rack mount housing. Integrated driver for up to 4 axes for the operation of positioners with different motor and encoder types, can be configured for a variety of applications. Ethernet velocity of up to 100 Mbps. Servo algorithms for advanced gantry and dual-loop control. Safety functions SS1 for safe braking and STO for switching off the power supply of the axes. 4 motor brakes via PWM brake driver, reduced heat generation of the motor brake.

Overview

The G-910 motion controller offers a fully integrated electronics solution with controller and driver module in a compact housing. The G-910.RC02 motion controller features the state-of-the-art ACS SPiiPlusEC motion controller and EtherCAT master. Integrated driver module for 2 axes, upgradable via EtherCAT to up to 4 synchronized axes. EtherCAT cycle and generation rate of the motion profile 2 kHz. Ethernet velocity of up to 1 GbE. Servo algorithms for advanced gantry and dual-loop control.

I/O lines

The digital inputs and outputs can be flexibly configured. For the evaluation of reference switches, digital inputs can alternatively be led to the motor connectors. Depending on the application, the inputs for the limit and reference switches can be configured for 5 V or 24 V and also as PNP or NPN inputs. Position synchronous trigger signals with up to 10Mhz output frequency make a precise process control at high travel velocities possible (position event generator – PEG).

Configuration

If the types of positioner are specified when ordering, all connectors of the G-910.RC02 are suitably preconfigured at delivery. The default factory configuration, without positioner-specific adjustments, is detailed in the specifications. For subsequent adjustments, please contact our service department.

Encoder

Supports incremental encoders (sine/cosine or RS-422) and absolute encoders (EnDat 2.2 & 2.1, Smart-Abs, Panasonic, BiSS-A/B/C (SSI)). Depending on the application, the encoders can respectively be led to the motor interface or the separate sensor interface.

Communication, software support

The motion controller works as master in an internal EtherCAT network. The open network architecture also allows the integration of third-party components. For communication with a PC, the motion controller is equipped with an Ethernet TCP/IP and a RS-232 interface. ACS SPiiPlus MMI Application Studio, a modern user software with tools for control tuning and visualizing is included in the scope of delivery. Programming libraries are available for C/C++, COM, .NET, MATLAB.
