4-axis CNC COMPACT 4

compactRS232CANopen

Compact 4 is a small, +12 Vdc numerical control, with internal PC/104 bus and Windows Embedded CE operating system, complete with mounting holes to install it in a wall-mounted electrical enclosure. Its PLC system employs the PC architecture both for machine motion and cyclic control, and for the user interface, accessible either by a touch-screen monitor, or mouse and keyboard. As an alternative to the touch-screen, Compact 6 can be connected to a supervisor PC. This system is particularly suited for smaller machines that control up to a maximum of 4 digital, analogical, and impulse train axes. On its top, the device accommodates 32 bidirectional PNP I/Os, that eventually can be expanded. There are also 4 connectors to plug in 4 impulse-train axes, and one connector to manage an MPG Handwheel. Albatros is the automation development and debugging environment (minimum v 3.1), installed in the development PC; the user interface software is installed in the Compact 4 and must be developed for Windows CE, or it can be hosted in the supervisor PC. General Features Small numerical control with PC/104 TMSbus board; CE certification conform to EMC standards. EtherCAT function code CN6.1.03 The EtherCAT function is carried out through Tpa implementation of the EtherCAT fieldbus master; the implemented application protocol is the official standard CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT); the EtherCAT bus uses a standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet cable (Cat 5e or higher), that allows for a distance between devices of up to 100 m; implemented communication format: standard 1518-byte Ethernet packet;
