6-axis motion controller C-887.53 series

DCsynchronousanalog

Integration into an automation system Synchronous motion in 6 axes Cycle time ≥ 1 ms Commanding in Cartesian coordinates High-resolution analog inputs and motion stop as an option Digital controller with EtherCAT fieldbus interface Digital controller for hexapods (6-axis parallel kinematics). In addition, the motor drivers for two further single axes can be controlled. For operation in an EtherCAT network, a higher-level programmable logic controller (PLC) is required on the user side (EtherCAT master with CoE protocol). Operation without PLC is possible via TCP/IP or RS-232. The controller then corresponds to a C-887.52x in terms of functionality and is controlled with the GCS 2.0 command set. Functions The position is entered in Cartesian coordinates from which the controller calculates the control of the kinematics. To simplify integration of the hexapod, the coordinate systems (Work, Tool) can be changed. The pivot point can be freely defined. A data recorder can record operating data, e.g., motor control, velocity, position, or position error. The execution of macros and Python scripts on the controller enables stand-alone operation. The controller supports all currently available standard hexapods from PI and, in addition, customer-specific parallel kinematics. Interfaces EtherCAT fieldbus interface. TCP/IP for network-based control and maintenance. RS-232. USB port for manual control unit. Additional interfaces (depending on version): High-resolution and extremely fast analog inputs which are ideal for fast alignment routines Connection for a motion stop button that activates/deactivates the 24 V output for the hexapod
