Control of Force, Position, and Velocity
• 1 or 2 motor channels
• Up to 4 sensor channels for 2 force and 2 position sensors each
• Depending on model, real-time SPI interface for commanding
• Digital inputs and outputs, optional analog inputs and outputs
• Autozero function for holding current
Digital motion controller for PIMag® voice coil drives
C-413.1: 1 motor channel, 2 sensor channels; for the V-275 and V-277 linear actuators
C-413.2: 2 motor channel, 4 sensor channels; for the V-273 linear actuators and the V-522 to V-528 positioner family
PID controller for force, position, velocity. Servo update rate selectable between 5 to 10 kHz
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
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
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-413.20A / .2GA models allow external force sensors to be read via analog inputs
