EtherCAT Communication Compatible Multi-Function Motion Control Board
PGS-equipped controller EtherCAT compatible series
【Exhibition Participation!】Main device (master board) compatible with EtherCAT communication! Various functions implemented, including gantry control.
The "PXEP-CN" is a multifunctional motion control board equipped with our proprietary pulse generation software "PGS" and is compatible with EtherCAT communication. For motion control, it implements various functions such as synchronization, axis interlocking, homing, speed override, and movement amount override, and also supports various application functions such as online light landing and gantry control, as well as timing output functions. It allows application development on a Windows-based platform without the need for a special development environment. 【Features】 ■ Capable of controlling 31-axis motion and IO control, with a maximum connection number of 31 to 127 (under development) ■ The homing function supports 15 types of master methods and unique homing of Sub device manufacturers ■ Functions are provided to easily control Sub devices compatible with CIA401/CIA402 ■ Proven track record of various Sub device verifications ■ Support is possible for Sub device products that have passed official tests conducted by EtherCAT Test Centers (ETC) certified by ETG *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Detailed information
-
Individual settings for starting and stopping speeds, acceleration time during operation, principle time, target speed, and the ability to override movement amounts allow for flexible acceleration and deceleration settings. Settings can be freely adjusted in 1 msec increments between 1 PPS and 400 MPPS.
-
The hard limit stop function allows for separate settings for deceleration when entering the hard limit. Additionally, it is equipped with a soft limit deceleration stop function as well.
-
Interpolation control allows for the recording of interpolation data within the PGS up to a maximum of 5000 steps, enabling changes to the interpolation data during operation, modifications and corrections of the target position, and the ability to temporarily pause the interpolation operation at any time. Additionally, it is possible to restart from a pause and switch interpolation axes (from XY axis to XZ axis), among other functions.
-
The online soft landing function allows for the suppression of overshoot during stops with bonding devices, enabling protection of machinery, materials, and workpieces.
-
The pitch correction function (pitch error correction function) measures the pitch errors of a transmission mechanism, such as screws, at regular intervals in advance, and corrects the pitch error by adding the correction amount to the commanded position during the control axis drive for positioning. *Achievement: Improved positioning accuracy from 46μm to 3μm, a 15-fold improvement.
-
The axis linkage function is a feature that controls by adding or subtracting the command position (output pulse) or actual position (input pulse) of one axis to another axis. By linking the work table (such as the XYZ axis) with the encoder information of the conveyor, it is possible to operate without stopping the conveyor.
-
The trigger input drive function uses general-purpose input as a trigger signal to execute pre-set actions. This function can be used for drive start, synchronous start, and more.
-
The timing output function refers to the ability to emit output signals at specified positions or timings, which can be used to turn ON/OFF devices such as strobes, camera shutters, and sensor equipment.
