SSC3 Tolomatic Multi-Axis / Multi-Function Servo / Stepper Controller

The Tolomatic SSC Series Multi-Axis / Multi-Function Servo / Stepper Controllers are packaged motion controllers designed for stand-alone operation. Features include coordinated motion profiling, uncommitted inputs and outputs, non-volatile memory for stand-alone operation and RS232/RS422 communication. Extended performance capabilities include: fast 8 MHz encoder input frequency, precise 16-bit motor command output DAC, +/-2 billion counts total travel per move, faster sample rate, and multitasking of up to four programs.

Designed for maximum system flexibility, the SSC is available for one to four axes and can be interfaced to a variety of motors and drives including step motors, servo motors and hydraulics. Each axis accepts feedback from a quadrature linear or rotary encoder with input frequencies up to 8 million quadrature counts per second. For dual-loop applications that require one encoder on both the motor and the load, auxiliary encoder inputs are included for each axis.

The powerful controller provides many modes of motion including jogging, point-to-point positioning, linear and circular interpolation with infinite vector feed, electronic gearing and user-defined path following. Several motion parameters can be specified including acceleration and deceleration rates, and slew speed. The SSC also provides S-curve acceleration for motion smoothing.
