C-630

Apollo Motion controller/Driver for Stepper motors

Ordering Information

C-630.32 Apollo Controller for 2-PhaseStepper Motors, 3 Axes, RS-232 Interface M-500.PS Power Supply for Apollo Controller (Included in C-630.32) C-863.633 Interface Cable for Operation with PIIntelliStage™ Translation Stages (3 m)

Network Capability forFlexible Automation For control of more than threeaxes, the Appollo’s networkfunctionality comes in handy.Up to three controllers can be linked and controlled over a single interface.The network may include up tothree Apollo controllers or acombination of up to threePIIntelliStages™ (see p. 7-54) and two Apollos.Each Apollo controller includessoftware, an RS-232 communi-cations cable and a wide-rangepower supply for universal operation.

C-630 Apollo Controller with M-112.22S linear translation stage. Apollo Controller front and back view.

3-Axis, Compact Stepper motor controller/Driver for 2-PhaseMotors Up to 50 x Microstep Resolution for Smooth, High-Resolution Positioning Network Feature for Multi-Channel Applications PIIntelliStage™ Compatible Easy-To-Use Software andDrivers The C-630 Apollo controllercombines a high-resolutionmotion controller and driver inan extremely small package. The Apollo is a very cost-effec- tive solution for automation, precision measurements or general positioning tasks inresearch and industry. Windows™ software is provid-ed with Apollo controllers for easy installation and operation.It is derived from the PIIntelli- Stage™ Software, and is ableto run both Apollos andPIIntelliStages™ in the same window.Window DLLs and LabView™Drivers are also provided for advanced programming and integration into existing userprogram environments.

Software command editor for controlling multiple stages in one network from one computer.

Integrated Drives for High-Resolution Motion Apollos can drive up to three 2-phase stepper motors simul-taneously, and feature micro- step technology with up to 20,000 steps/rev. for ultra- smooth, high-resolution mo- tion. Limit switch and refer- ence switch inputs for eachaxis are provided to protect the mechanics and for easy opera- tion.
