Publication 999-122 - January 1997
•
Wide position, speed, acceleration, and deceleration ranges for 
precise control.
•
Separately programmable acceleration and deceleration rates for 
maximum versatility.
•
Trapezoidal, parabolic, and S-curve velocity profiles.
•
Rotary mode with electronic unwind allows unlimited position 
range for rotary axes. 
•
Merge motion function allows seamless transition between all types 
of motion.
•
Most motion parameters (including master axis for electronic gears 
and cams) can be changed on-the-fly with no delays.
•
Powerful floating-point math capabilities including transcendental 
functions (sin, cos, log, etc.).
•
Sophisticated Nested Digital Servo Control Loop with automatic 
servo setup for quick and easy servo tuning.
•
Isolation of all external connections from the microprocessor logic 
for reliable performance.
•
4 MHz maximum feedback count rate allows high speed operation 
without sacrificing resolution.
•
Encoder loss detection protects operators and machinery from 
damage in the event of encoder feedback failure.
•
Isolated 16-bit DACs for smooth motion. Software offset correction 
eliminates drift with analog servo drives. 
•
Field-configurable servo outputs allow independent selection of 
±10V or ±150 
µΑ
signal format for each axis.
•
Programmable position lock and position error tolerances for servo 
fault protection. 
•
Programmable directional software travel limits for enhanced 
overtravel protection. 
•
Velocity Feedforward to reduce following error.
•
Four optically isolated limit switch inputs for a home switch, 
positive and negative overtravel switches, and a drive fault signal 
for each axis. 
•
Relay-contact drive enable output for each axis.
•
Optically isolated high-speed position registration input for each 
axis for position synchronization and registration applications. 
•
CPU Watchdog with front-panel LED indicator for fail-safe 
protection.
