2.2 General product description
The Motion Controllers are designed for different drive tasks, which can be configured via the re-
spective communication interface.
Depending on the version, the following tasks can be performed:
Position control with analog or digital command source.
Speed control with analog or digital command source
.
Acquisition of reference marks and limit switches
.
Enhanced operating modes such as step motor mode, electronic gear, voltage controller mode or
current control with analog current preset
.
Running of sequential programs saved in the Controller (only with RS version).
Various inputs and outputs are available for implementation of these functions:
Analog input
Usable as
•
Command source via analog or PWM signal
•
Digital input for reference marks and limit switches
•
Pulse input
•
Incremental encoder connection
Error output
Usable as
•
Digital output
•
Pulse output
•
Digital input for reference marks and limit switches
•
Rotational direction input
1 additional
digital input
Usable as
•
Digital input for reference marks and limit switches
Communication interface
Depending on the type, as a serial RS232 or CAN interface for linking to PC or control
The set configuration can be permanently saved.
NOTE
Communication interface
Motion controllers with RS232 interface can also be operated independently of the communication
interface, if a function or sequential program without digital command control was programmed
beforehand.
NOTE
Options
Separate power supply for the motor and control electronics is possible as an ex-factory option (im-
portant for safety-relevant applications). In this case the 3rd input is not required.
Special preconfiguration of modes and parameters is possible on request.
NOTE
