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.

Universal driver module

ACS driver module for the operation of different motor and encoder types, can be configured for a variety of applications. 2 axes, 5 A continuous current per axis possible. 2 motor brakes via PWM brake driver, reduced heat generation of the motor brake. Motion profiles are generated by an external ACS motion controller and received via EtherCAT.

Communication

EtherCAT interface for the integration into an EtherCAT network. For example, using a G-910.RC02 ACS motion controller and EtherCAT master with integrated driver module for commanding.

Housing types

Available as a benchtop device or a control cabinet module, adapter for mounting on TH-35 top hat rail or on mounting plate is included in the scope of delivery for the control cabinet version.
