Integrated Servo amplifiers /PWM Output Easy-to-Use Software /General Command Set (GCS) Integrated, low-noise, 5-wattlinear industrial power amplifiers allow operation of any PI microposi- tioning system without addi-tional external amplifiers,reducing costs and simplifying the setup. In addition to the lin- ear motor drivers, PWM (pulse width modulation) output sig- nals are available to drive PI micropositioning stages equip- ped with ActiveDrive™ motors(e.g. M-511.DD, M-126.PD) orexternal PWM power ampli- fiers from other manufacturers. For ease of operation, the C-848 is compatible with the PI General Command Set, de- signed to allow flexible combi- nations with other PI motion controllers (fiber aligners, step- per-motor controllers andpiezo controllers for ultra-fast,sub-nanometer motion con- trol). This intuitive command set saves valuable program- ming time by its convenient and easy-to-remember struc- ture. For more information onGCS, see p. 9-28.Control of the C-848 is provid-ed through the RS-232 or an optional IEEE-488 interface. For manual control, the unit can be operated with a C-819.10 joy- stick.In addition to an ample array ofsoftware tools such as LabView™ drivers and DLL libraries, the C-848 comes with the operating software C-848 Control, providing all functions for single command executionas well as macro commandfacilities.To facilitate setup, any support-ed PI micropositioning stage just needs to be selected from a menu and all default control parameters will be set. The C-848 can also run in stand- alone mode, and a standard computer keyboard and moni-tor can be plugged for directprogramming.

The C-848 is a flexible, multi-purpose, rackmount position- ing and motion controller forDC servo motors. It is designedfor general positioning and automation tasks in research and industry. Flexibility, Multi-ProcessorArchitecture Based on a rugged, high-per-formance industrial PC, the C-848 offers the flexibility required in today’s demanding and rapidly changing automa- tion, prototyping and produc- tion processes. In addition tothe general processor handlingcommunication and macro command execution, a fast DSP motion-control chip set is dedicated to trajectory genera- tion and servo control. In addi- tion to 3 inputs per channel forlimit switches and home posi- tion, eight TTL inputs and eight TTL outputs are available for flexible automation.The C-848 provides flexibleand fast high-level-command handling and has advanced features such as stackable macros. The command lan- guage complies with the PIGeneral Command Set, whichis a user-friendly, well struc- tured language reflecting the device’s functionality. The C-848 also offers advanced fea- tures such as linear interpola-tion, electronic gearing, real-time origin position capture and fast 32-bit PID +V-ff servo- control parameters (can be changed on-the-fly). © PI 1998-2005.
