Product Overview: The Turbo Clipper Drive is a comprehensive 4-axis solution integrating a controller, breakout board, and amplifier. It combines Delta Tau's Clipper controller with a new 4-axis low-voltage amplifier and a breakout system, offering a compact and cost-effective multi-axis control solution.
Controller Specifications: The controller features a Turbo PMAC DSP processor with USB, Ethernet, and RS-232 communications. It supports a full 4-axis servo interface with digital PWM generation, quadrature encoders, and various input/output flags. It includes general-purpose digital I/O, auxiliary encoder channels, and safety features like a CPU watchdog and emergency stop circuitry.
Amplifier Specifications: The amplifier supports DC brush, brushless, and stepper motors with a DC bus voltage range of 12-60 VDC. It provides 5A continuous and 15A peak output current per axis, with programmable PWM frequencies up to 40 kHz. It includes protections against voltage, temperature, and current issues.
Options and Accessories: Various CPU and memory options are available, including different MHz CPUs and SRAM/Flash configurations. Interface options include dual-ported RAM and ModBus TCP interface. Accessory boards offer additional I/O capabilities and encoder interfaces.
Motion and Safety Features: The system supports various interpolation modes, servo loop algorithms, and compensation techniques. Safety features include overtravel limits, amplifier handshaking, and watchdog timers. It also supports real-time multi-tasking and high-level programming for motion control.
Supported Motors and Feedback Devices: The system is compatible with brushless, DC brush, stepper, induction, and voice coil motors. Supported feedback devices include digital quadrature and sinusoidal encoders.
Software Tools: The LV Setup Software facilitates easy setup of controllers and motors. PMAC Executive (PEWIN) and Tuning Pro2 provide tools for motor control and tuning. PMAC-NC Pro2 offers a customizable GUI for CNC control.
Warranty: The product comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of shipment.
