Intended Use
The C-863.20C885 is designed to be integrated in a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN
61010-1. It is intended to be used in interior spaces and in an environment which is free of dirt,
oil and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the C-863.20C885 is intended for the operation of PI stages
equipped with DC motors or voice coil drives.
The C-863.20C885 is intended for closed-loop operation using incremental position sensors.
Furthermore, the C-863.20C885 can read out and process the reference point and limit switch
signals from the stage connected.
The C-863.20C885 may only be used in compliance with the technical specifications and
instructions in this manual.
The C-863.20C885 has no case and is designed to be integrated in the C-885 PIMotionMaster (p.
6) from PI. The operator is responsible for electrical safety according to EN 61010-1:2010 and
electromagnetic compatibility according to EN 61326-1:2013 when integrating the C-
