1811 Compumotor Single-Board Indexer with Multibus/IEEE-796 Interface

The Parker/Compumotor 3000 Indexing System is a programmable indexing system capable of controlling up to 4 axes (motors) at one time. It is normally used for precise position control with no external position feedback. It is programmed and controlled from the Front Panel. It can also be controlled by a remote computer or terminal via an RS-232C or IEEE-488 interface. There are programmable inputs and outputs for each axis, compatible with OPTO-22 signal conditioning products, that allow the 3000 to interact with the rest of the system.

The 3000 will drive any size Compumotor motor/drive set or any standard 200/400-step translator and stepper motor combination. With this indexer the motor shaft can be rotated to a precise position and stop; rotated at a constant velocity; alternate back and forth between two angular positions; or use a combination of moves. A single revolution can be subdivided into 1,000, 21,600, 25,000, 36, 000 or 50,000 individual steps depending on the motor/drive used. An optional operating mode (Encoder Interface) is available for closed-loop operation to further enhance the accuracy of position control and increase the "stiffness" of the motor.
