Overview / Features

This product is a PCI Express card that supports stepping motors and ([pulse string input] types of) servomotors. It can perform motor control for up to 4 axes. This product has the functions for positioning, origin return, linear interpolation, and for S-curve acceleration and deceleration, capable of multi-axial linear interpolation and speed/position overriding. This product covers a wide range of applications including semiconductor equipment, test instruments, multi-axis robots, and X-Y robots. These various functions make it possible to build complex positioning control systems for variety of uses such as manufacturing devices and test devices.

• Capable of multi-axis independent control and pulse output up to 9.8Mpps

  • Control for up to 4 axes and motor control pulse output up to 9.8Mpps are available. Command pulse for motor control supports common pulse, independent pulse and 90°C phase difference pulse. Limit input 3channels/axis, general-purpose input 7channels/axis, and general-purpose output 3channels/axis are equipped. Also, depending on the software setting, 5 general-purpose inputs can be used as alarm inputs, and general-purpose outputs as deviation counter clear outputs.
• Capable of controlling the jogging at fixed speed or by linear/S-curve acceleration and deceleration, positioning, and origin returning

  • Carrying a motor control IC in the PCL6100 series from Nippon Pulse Motor Co., Ltd., capable of controlling jogging, positioning, origin returning, synchronization control and linear interpolation.
• Provided with various input/output formats enabling connection to an encoder input circuit as well as pulse output circuit.

  • Encoder input circuits can be connected with differential output, TTL level output, and open-collector output. Pulse output circuits can be connected with differential input, opto-coupler and TTL level input.
• With the multi-axis synchronization control function, capable of aligning the timing for operation start and end

  • Synchronization control of multi-axis simultaneous start/stop control, linear interpolation operation is available.
• Capable of speed and position overriding

  • Capable of changing the speed and target position during operation.
• Comparator circuits allowing the set value and counter value to be compared

  • A pair of comparator circuits is provided for each axis, allowing the set value and counter value to be compared with each other. They also allow signals to be output while comparator conditions are met.
