Controllers

Stepper Controller #1

Multiple axis controller

 

iMC-P 

A freely programmable compact controller with max. 4 final stages for 2-phase step motors. 

The controllers integrate all necessary components (interfaces, motion controllers, power supply, final stages, safety circuit incl. door controller, control elements), which are needed to control a machine, in a compact bench housing. The iMC-P1 controller with core module with at least one integrated final stage enables the control of up to 3 additional final stages with clocking/direction module. The signals needed for this are provided through the appropriate external interfaces.








Features

• 8 signal inputs (24V DC)
• 8 relay outputs (24V DC, 300 mA) max. 2A total current
• 1 relay output (230V AC/6A)
• 1 analogue output (0 - 10V)
• RS232 programming interface (rear)
• 32-bit RISC processor and memory for user program
• Programming with PAL-PC (DNC and CNC modes), @-format    
   (DNC and CNC modes), ProNC, Remote, Galaad, Labview (DNC
   mode), various high level languages
• max. 4 final stages (48V/4.2A) for 2-phase step motors (power
   supply unit 500 W)
• from a step angle of 1.8° up to 25,600 microsteps/turn (1/128
   microstep)
• automatic current sink
• motor current adjustable via DIP switch
• additional control signals (start, stop, reset) adaptable
• Safety circuits (emergency shutdown, door circuit controller) via
   external plugs in higher level safety circuits integrable
• Broadband mains supply: 110 - 250V AC, 50..60 Hz
• Clocking/direction module to order
• Bench casing W 379 × H 137 × D260

Deliverables

Stepper Controller #2

Multiple axis controller



iMC-S8


The iMC-S8 step controller is a freely programmable compact controller for linear or circular axes with 2-phase step motors.

The controller integrates all the necessary components (power supply, safety circuit, power electronics, core processor, interfaces, operating elements) that are needed to control individual spindles all the way to entire machines. It has an intelligent core module that is controlled and programmed via a RS232 interface. The core module also converts the commands programmed in the user program into clocking/direction signals for the connected final stages. Depending on the purpose, the iMC-S8 controller can be used either in CNC or in DNC mode.

In CNC mode, the processor processes the CNC program which was previously produced with PAL-PC and stored in the controller's Flash memory.

In DNC mode, the iMC-S8 controller is connected permanently with a control computer (PC, laptop) via a serial interface (RS232). Processing is carried out via the isel control software Remote.


Features

• 32-bit RISC processor with Flash memory for user program
• Final output stages - Step resolution and motor current adjustable via variable DIP
  switch - automatic current sink
• Acceleration, start-stop frequency and step output frequency variable
• both hardware limit switches configurable
• Door controller/hood controller
• Control elements in the front of the casing
• external EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN and POWER connection for integration in
  higher level safety circuits
• Connection for external control signals, such as START, STOP, RESET (only CNC
  mode)
• 230V connection for milling spindle (100-230V AC)
• 0 .. 10V analogue output for external frequency converter for speed-controlled main
  spindle
• Programming/Operation - PAL-PC in CNC mode (in the deliverables) - Remote (optional: ProNC) in DNC mode - isel @ - format in CNC/DNC modes

Technical specification

• Broadband mains supply 100 - 250V AC, 50..60Hz
• Processor - Flash memory 128 kB, Capacity to store 350 commands - max. step
  output frequency 40 kHz
• Final stages - Power supply 48V DC - Peak current: 2.8 - 7.8A - Step resolution:

Servo Controller

Multiple axis controller




iMC-DC / iMC-EC

CAN controllers in the iMC-DC and iMC-EC series are compact, powerful drive controllers for 2 to 6 DC servomotors at an ideal price/performance ratio.

The attractive bench housing integrates all control components which are needed to solve a wide variety of automation tasks. They range from the final stage via the I/O assembly to the safety controller. In addition, a 26 cm (10.2”) touch screen TFT display and a keyboard are incorporated, which makes for convenient operation.

A CANopen PCI board is integrated in the control computer as an interface. This acts as the CAN master for the drive controller and the I/O module. In addition, external expansions up to 128 CAN nodes are possible with ease. The NC controller core allows interpolation of up to 6 axes (linear, circular and helical) and online and lock ahead track processing. When using the ProNC software, individual axes can be controlled as handling axes (in addition to the interpolating axes).

All final stages have automatic jerk limitation and rest state monitoring (up to safety category 3)
.
