Digital motion controller for PIMag® voice coil drives
C-413.1: 1 motor channel, 2 sensor channels
C-413.2: 2 motor channel, 4 sensor channels
PID controller for force, position, velocity. Servo update rate selectable between 5 to 10 kHz
Force control
Force control allows operation of PIMag® drives and positioners with a defined holding or feed force. The force and position sensors can be read simultaneously and the values processed. In addition to pure force control, subordinate position control, and velocity control is also an option. PI offers PIMag® actuators with a force sensor. The C-413.2GA model allows external force sensors to be read via analog inputs
Protection of the mechanics
The AutoZero function defines the holding current at which the drive outputs an open-loop force of 0 N, e.g., for compensating the weight force. An I2t monitoring prevents the drive from overheating due to overcurrent
Extensive functionality
Data recorder: Recording of operating data such as motor current, velocity, position or position error. Wave generator: Saves and outputs periodic motion profiles. ID chip support: Detects the mechanics connected and simplifies configuration and interchangeability. Supports direction-sensing reference switches. Extensive software support, e.g., for NI LabVIEW, dynamic libraries for Windows and Linux
Interfaces
Depending on the model, commanding via TCP/IP, USB 2.0, SPI. Digital inputs and outputs for automation. Optional analog inputs and outputs, e.g., for sensors, commanding or position feedback
