E-861.11C885 NEXACT® Controller Module
For the C-885 PIMotionMaster Modular Controller System
- High-speed encoder input
- Data recorder
- Nonvolatile memory for macros and parameters
- Control signal for motor brake
- Suitable for vacuum use because the sensor can be switched off
Digital servo controller for NEXACT® piezo motors
1 axis. Supports motion types of the NEXACT® drives: Nanostepping mode for longer distances. Highly dynamic positioning within one step with resolutions below one nanometer. Sensor can be switched off via parameter, e.g., for use in a vacuum.
Extensive functions, software support
Powerful macro command language. Nonvolatile macro storage, e.g., for stand-alone operation with autostart macro. Data recorder. PID controller, parameter changing during operation. Extensive software support, e.g., for NI LabVIEW, C, C++, MATLAB, Python. PIMikroMove user software.
Plug-and-play installation in the C-885 PIMotionMaster
Can be inserted in any free slot. Automatic detection and external communication (USB, Ethernet) by the processor and interface module of the C-885. Can be expanded with optional digital inputs and outputs. Power via the power supply of the C-885.
