A-811: High Performance Motion Control With EtherCat Connectivity

The A-811.CE single-axis motion controller from PI is an integrated electronics solution with a controller and servo drive in a compact desktop enclosure. The controller is intended for use with the PIglide air-bearing linear and rotation stages and other PI stages equipped with servomotors and high-resolution encoders.

Compact benchtop device, external AC/DC power supply

Complete-integrated servo-controller with drive

Encoder inputs support incremental (analog sine/cosine) and absolute (BiSS-C, EnDat 2.2) encoders

For voice coil drives, DC motors, and brushless 3-phase motors; quiet PWM drives

Output current up to 10 A continuous/20 A peak

Functional safety: STO (Safe Torque Off)

The typical controller has inputs for both incremental and absolute encoders. The integrated interpolation factor for sine/cosine encoders is up to 65536× (16 bit). The controllers encompass an onboard flash memory for stored motion programs and parameters.

The A-811.CE controller can be operated in a stand-alone mode using stored programs or from an external PC. Programming and initialization require a PC. The entire software package is included in the scope of delivery.

If the controller is purchased with a PIglide air-bearing stage or positioning system, PI will perform servo tuning, startup of the controller, and error calibration, resulting in a full ready-to-use positioning system.

The A-811.CE incorporates the cutting-edge ACS ECMsa Motion Controller with an incorporated servo drive.

Options

Numerous motor current output levels
