PC-02003-005 ACS Motion Control Power Supply Board

The ACS Motion Control SPiiPlus CM Series High Performance Multi-Axis Motion Controllers with Integrated Digital Drives combine a programmable motion controller, power supply, and up to three digital drives into a single standalone package. Each integrated digital drive is software configurable for AC servo/DC brushless, or DC brush motors. By implementing an HSSI network, together with DC brush or external stepper (indexer) drives and motors, the number of controlled axes can be increased to eight.

The digital drive supply voltages range from single phase 90Vdc -125Vdc, 100Vac -240Vac, three phase 230Vac (ph-ph) or the low voltage option 24Vdc to 120Vdc, 19Vac to 85Vac.

The SPiiPlus CM also supports both Sin-Cos and high-speed incremental encoders. An optional 4x to 65,536x internal programmable multiplier is available for any axis with Sin-Cos feedback.

The SPiiPlus CM can operate as a standalone module, or connected to a host computer. The RS-232 and RS-232/422 serial port protocols are supported, as well as Ethernet 10/100 BaseT. All ports can be used simultaneously.

The SPiiPlus CM features a versatile implementation of general purpose I/Os. Digital inputs can be used for hardware-based position registration, and digital outputs can trigger position-based events with sub-microsecond delays. Special high-power outputs provide mechanical brake activation.

Complex applications are easy to develop with ACSPL+, a compiled, high-level true multi-tasking language, optimized for motion control applications. ACSPL+ enables implementation of highly complex motion-time-event sequences with accurate positioning and timing. Up to nine ACSPL+ programs can simultaneously run on the controller. Programs can also be implemented by a host PC application running under Windows 2000/XP/VISTA using the DLL or the COM libraries provided for C, C++, Visual Basic, LabView, and more. In addition, extensive C/C++DLLs are available for On-Time and Venturecom RTX real-time operating systems.

A powerful suite of software tools provide easy setup, tuning and programming. Application development is particularly easy with a four-channel soft scope and multi-axis motion simulator.

The servo control algorithm executes at an uncompromised rate of 20kHz per axis regardless of the number of axes in use, providing very large bandwidth, exceptional dynamic tracking, fast settling, and excellent smoothness at low velocities.
