Multi-axis motion controller MCS2

EthernetUSBadvanced

The MCS2 is SmarAct’s most versatile and modular control system. Its stringent modular design makes it the perfect choice for all fields of application. To meet the specific requirements of each setup, product variants for three positioning stages up to variants with an EtherCAT® module for real-time control of the most complex multi-axis systems are available. MCS2 control systems are also available as OEM versions, such as separate boards. Key Features User Friendly Pre-configured modular system Service Tool for easy setup and quick testing Programming examples for LabVIEW™, C++, and Python Upgradeable In the field firmware update system Sophisticated firmware modules Low-vibration mode to reduce vibrations caused by stick-slip motion Advanced sensor calibration for increased accuracy Intuitive Hand Control Module Precise, manual control Graphical display for easy view Tactile control via 2D joysticks, buttons, and knobs Powerful Compatible with all SmarAct stages with stick-slip piezo drives, hybrid drives, and electromagnetic direct drives Supports S and L position sensors with nanometer resolution Is able to utilize SmarAct’s PICOSCALE Interferometer as a high-resolution position sensor with picometer resolution Fast control loop with up to 50 kHz Smart Well documented property-based Application Programming Interface (API) SCPI based ASCII command protocol for Ethernet interface Complex customizable trajectories with up to 1 kHz trajectory point frequency Sensor power save mode for thermal management in vacuum applications Closed-loop positioning with velocity and acceleration control and high-resolution positioning accuracy
