2.5 Functional Description
The MCU 2008 is a 2-axis motor controller for DC scanning stages equipped with a disk encoder on the
motor axis.
The joystick (432903-9902) can be acquired to be used as operating element.
The controller is provided with two CAN bus ports and a USB port.
The MCU 2008 offers two speed ranges: slow and fast.
The changeover switch integrated in the optional
joystick (432903-9902) is used to set the speed
mode desired.
Within the speed range set, the extent of
displacement of the joystick determines the speed
of the stage used.
The stage may be operated alternatively by means
of the AxioVision software. Please see the relevant
software operating manual.
The controller is a CAN component. Two CAN ports with equality of access are available. If the MCU
2008 is used for stage control in combination with the motorized microscopes Axio Imager and
Axio Observer, it can be connected directly to the microscope. In this case, the travelling speed of the
stage can be adjusted separately for each objective. Please see the operating manuals of the
corresponding microscopes.
The USB port allows direct operation of the stage controller via the control computer of the microscope
system used. In this way, the MCU 2008 may also be used for manual microscopes.
