Stand-alone motion controller UltimET Advanced

multi-axisRS-485advanced

Embedded real-time operating system for maximum flexibility and performance The UltimET Advanced is a powerful and versatile multi-axis motion controller reinforcing the existing UltimET family product portfolio from the high-end side. With the UltimET Advanced, not only ETEL brings a motion controller with outstanding intrinsic performance, but it brings also on the market a high level of flexibility in controlling advanced motion system with strategies that one can shape very precisely to match dedicated needs of various applications. This motion controller is fitted with a quad-processor from which one core is fully dedicated to the user for running the so called “Customer Software Module” (CSM). CSM is executed in a real-time operating system (namely FreeRTOS) that allows implementation of user-designed control algorithms and/or diverse functionalities based on provided EDI (ETEL Device Interfacing). The UltimET Advanced can also host ETEL made plug-ins called “ETEL Software Modules” (ESM) that provide enhancements to ETEL motion system platforms. Thanks to the multi-core structure, ESM operates without compromising the user’s available computation power. The user core is fitted with an embedded version of EDI so that the user can code “from the UltimET Advanced” as he was used to code from his own computer. It has direct and full access to a TCP/ IP connection and one standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) connection to communicate with external devices. In addition, the user has access to local storage through an SD-Card. All this allows local or remote data storage without impacting the motion control being executed in parallel.
