DMC-500x0

  • Configurable controller for up to 8 axes of EtherCAT Master with any of the first 4 axes for local control or EtherCAT Master
  • 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port; (1) EtherCAT Port; (2) RS232 ports up to 115 kbaud
  • Available with internal, multi-axis servo or stepper drives. Or, connect to conventional external drives (only first four axes)
  • For local axes, accepts up to 22 million counts per second of quadrature encoder for servos; Outputs up to 6 MHz for steppers; EtherCAT command speed up to 1 billion counts per second
  • Sample times as low as 375 microseconds for 1-4 axes and 750 microseconds for 5-8 axes
  • First four axes, advanced PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limits, notch filter and low-pass filter
  • Modes of motion include jogging, point-to-point positioning, position tracking, contouring, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing, ECAM, and PVT
  • Ellipse scaling, slow down around corners, infinite segment feed and feed rate override
  • Multitasking for concurrent execution of up to eight application programs
  • Non-volatile memory for application programs (4000 Lines), variables (510), and arrays (24000)
  • Dual encoders for every local servo axis
  • Optically isolated home input and forward and reverse limits for every local axis; Uses EtherCAT drive for home and limit switches
  • Uncommitted I/O:
    • 8 optically isolated inputs and 8 optically isolated outputs
    • Isolated, high-power outputs for driving brakes or relays (local axis only)
    • 8 uncommitted analog inputs
    • High speed position latch and output compare
    • 32 additional 3.3V TTL I/O (5V option)
    • More I/O available with RIO PLC
  • 2 line x 8-character LCD
  • Accepts single 20 - 80 VDC input
  • Communication drivers for Windows and Linux
  • Custom hardware and firmware options available
