AXIS

AXIS Schematic   

AXIS is a dedicated Motion control node fully supported by motion control commands within Control-C. Control loop cycle times are user selected in the range 1 to 5 milliseconds.

Hardware Features

• Incremental Encoder Interface - Isolated industry standard single ended or differential mode A, B and Z channels.
• Encoder Power - Isolated +5V provided by the node or from an uncommitted user supplied input.
• Analogue Amplifier output Interface - Isolated, + / - 10.5V single ended or differential.
  16 bit resolution.
• Digital I/O - 4 off, isolated, 24V PNP format. Can be used as either Inputs or Outputs.
  High speed encoder position capture provided by Input 0.

Software Features provided by Control-C

• Full Velocity profiling.
• Independent Acceleration and Deceleration values.
• Point to Point Position Moves.
• Velocity Mode.
• Absolute Moves with velocity profiling.
• Relative Moves with velocity profiling.
• Torque Mode.
• Cam profiles.
• Multi-Axis moves (co-ordinated with other Axis nodes on the E-Net).
• Electronic Gear Locking (co-ordinated with other Axis nodes on the E-Net).
• Vector Moves (co-ordinated with other Axis nodes on the E-Net).
• Position registration via position capture from Input 0.
• Slaving to Master encoder (value shared over the E-Net).
• Virtual Axis (provided by any node on the E-Net with encoder value shared over the E-Net).
• Digital I/O Outputs set instantly. Inputs read every 0.0005 sec.
• Digital I/O timed output pulses ( period = 0.0005 to 60 sec. resolution = 0.0005 sec).
• Digital I/O input filtering (preventing false signalling).
• Digital I/O edge triggered software interrupts on all inputs.
• Interrupts fully software configured and controlled.
• Software induced interrupts by pulsing outputs.

Front Panel Indicators

• 8 Segment Display - Status, programming progress and Communications indicator.
• Analogue Drive Status - Bi-colour (Green/Red) LED with colour and brightness proportional to output voltage.
• Digital I/O Status (all channels) - Red LED. On = when I/O is in the active state.
