AEROTECH Automation1 XC2e Enhanced, Compact Servo Drive with PWM+
Automation1 XC2e Enhanced, Compact Servo Drive with PWM+
The Automation1 XC2e servo motor drive features PWM+ technology, delivering Aerotech’s industry-leading linear amplifier performance in a compact, efficient PWM package. Improve motion quality with sub-nanometer in-position stability and boost throughput with fast step-and-settle and superior tracking performance in our smallest panel-mount drive.
Synchronize laser firing or process triggers with motion using multi-axis PSO, precisely align digital and analog I/O samples with the servo loop and prevent unexpected motion with safe torque off (STO).
Industry-Leading Data Acquisition Speed and Volume Capability
No other motion control platform can give you the data acquisition speed and volume you get with the Automation1 XC2e. For applications where data analysis speed is critical to maximizing throughput, the Automation1 platform delivers industry-leading performance.
Better Control. More Precision
The XC2e connects to the Automation1 Intelligent Software-Based Machine Controller (iSMC) controller over fiber-optic HyperWire®, the fastest, highest-throughput communication bus in motion control.
XC2e
You can use the XC2e PWM amplifiers to control brushless AC, brush DC, voice coil and stepper motor types at up to 100 VDC operating voltage and 10 A peak current capability.
With process control features such as additional I/O and Aerotech’s ultrafast, low latency Position Synchronized Output (PSO), the XC2e commands your process tool based on the real-time encoder position. This means processes built around the XC2e have better motion and process performance.
Feature-Forward Design
Standard features for the XC2e include STO, a data array consisting of more than 16 million 32-bit elements, dedicated home and end-of-travel limit inputs, and an enhanced current sense device. Standard encoder support includes square-wave and absolute encoders.
Add I/O to your XC2e with an expansion board containing analog and digital I/O, an added encoder input, and dedicated PSO.
Upgrade your process control capabilities with one of many multi-axis PSO options. Improve the resolution of amplified sine-wave encoders by adding a feedback multiplier, including dual loop multiplier support.
