4.7. Upgrade Options
The ACS SPiiPlus EC Motion Controller contained inside the A-82x series controller can be upgraded at the
factory or in the field to add the following features. Contact a PI sales engineer for details and pricing.
 Increase the number of axes that can be controlled (up to 64 (note this does not add drive axes).
 Add ServoBoost
™
(in blocks of 4 axes).
ServoBoost™ provides:

Automatic adaptation to large changes in load and system parameters

Automatic compensation of disturbances, resonances, axes interaction, cogging and more)

ServoBoost™ is required for gantry applications.

Add ServoBoost
™
PLUS (requires at least 4 axes of ServoBoost
™ already installed). ServoBoost™
PLUS
provides:

Improved stability and jitter performance

Improved velocity stability
 G-Code programming
 Input Shaping for increased step-and settle performance and decreased reaction force motion.
 Add additional programming buffers for stored motion programs (up to 64 total).
