Multi-axis motion controller XSA series

EthernetEtherCATModbus RTU

Overview
Based on an X86 platform with Intel processors (option up to Intel Core™ i7), the XSA series combines PC-level computing and controller functions on a single hardware platform. It supports the XS Studio programming environment and complies with the IEC61131-3 standard, enabling multiple IEC programming languages and integration with XINJE proprietary function blocks and libraries for streamlined development.

Key Features

• X86 architecture with Intel processor options (up to Core™ i7) for high computational throughput and low-latency response (example: 1 ms response for 256 axes, platform-dependent).
• Optional dual operating system: built-in real-time OS with optional Windows or Linux; Windows option allows installation of PC-level supervisory software on the same device.
• Integrated control functions on one hardware unit: motion control, PLC logic, data processing, machine vision, HMI and upper-level applications.
• Development support including Motion API and multi-language programming: C++, C#, LabVIEW, VB, VC, plus IEC61131-3 languages (ST, SFC, FBD, CFC, LD, IL).
• Advanced motion control algorithms: single-axis, coordinated multi-axis, electronic cam, tracking/cutting, CNC and robot control.
• EtherCAT support for large-axis systems: up to 256-axis EtherCAT motion control for high-axis-count or high-precision applications.
• Multiple industrial network and protocol support: MODBUS, TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, OPC_UA and other common protocols for flexible integration.
• Optional built-in UPS on selected models (e.g., XSA500 series) for controlled shutdown and data protection.
• XS Studio programming platform with PLCopen support and XINJE function libraries to accelerate application development.

Applications

• Integrated industrial systems requiring combined PLC, motion control and machine vision on a single hardware platform.
• High-axis-count motion systems (EtherCAT) and precision motion applications.
• Scenarios where PC-level computation and controller functionality must coexist (e.g., vision processing with real-time motion control).
