UltimET Light motion controller is the master on the TransnET bus and can manage up to 63 axes. More significantly, the communication performance will be the same regardless of the number of axes.
To provide the best price/performance solution to its customers, ETEL designed two versions of the motion controller: the UltimET Light smart gateway is designed for price sensitive applications requiring synchronized movements. The UltimET Light interpolation version is best suited for interpolated movements.
UltimET Light provides different ways to manage multi-axis movements, depending on the needs:
- Movements can be either synchronized, or interpolated with G-code based, ULM (Universal Linear Movements), PVT (Position Velocity Time), PT (Position Time) and LKT (LooK-up Table) motion profiles.
- Advanced control feature requiring slave to slave communication between the different position controllers need an UltimET as a TransnET master:
- 3D mapping allows for correction of a stages known mechanical errors
- Gantry acceleration feed-forward
- Etc.
