Innovative Motion Control ADVANCED FEATURES ETEL MOTION CONTROL ETEL has always focused on developing advanced control features to make its position controllers unique in the market. From the first prototype commissioning to the serial production of machines, ETEL advanced features provide a simple access to major time savings, throughput enhancement and increased precision. In addition, the core of ETEL unique features is designed to bring higher throughput together with the most stringent position accuracy levels. Trajectory Filters have the ability to adapt trajectory shapes to minimize settling times. In combination with Dual Encoder Feedback capabilities and/or Gantry Control functions, outstanding performance can be reached with minimal tuning effort. ETEL develops functions that are continuously setting the next milestones in motion control. In fact, with the Fast Trigger feature, ACCURET controllers can react to a real position crossing event in 1D or 2D within a few nanoseconds. This opens new possibilities at the machine control level. Last but not least, ETEL Force Control algorithm is the flagship of advanced software features. With zero stop time and millinewton accuracy levels, accurate placement with force control can be performed at the highest ever throughput and with a precision never achieved till now. ETEL’s range of motion controllers (ULTIMET) and position controllers (ACCURET) allows machine builders to drive any available servo motors on the market (brushless, DC motors, steppers) with the highest performance regulation in a minimal footprint. Motion Control ETEL S.A. Zone Industrielle 2112 Môtiers Switzerland Its decentralized architecture ensures the same level of performance and speed regardless of the number of axes driven in the machine. Distributed architecture also makes cabling easier to manage and to maintain in the field. The software environment simplifies embedded programming, machine commissioning and maintenance. T +41 32 862 01 00 ETEL motion control solutions are specifically designed for highend equipment thanks to: etel@etel.ch • www.etel.ch version 2.6 - 06/22 - subject to modifications without previous notice ETEL advanced features start to bring advantages at a very early stage of a machine design. For instance, Identification Tools, are available to allow a one-click evaluation of machine mechanical design, identify resonances and adapt controller settings. While commissioning the machine, other tools like Friction Compensation and Stage Protection can be used to cancel out repeatable errors and to secure system behavior in case of unexpected events. The full ETEL solution allows machine builders to simplify mechanical integration in their machine thanks to a very consistent design and a modular architecture that is easy to wire and mount. Customers can focus on their core competence and technology while ETEL takes care of their motion systems development. • A high frequency state-space regulator for high control bandwidth; • An embedded programming and advanced control features at firmware level; • A high speed communication through ETEL real-time bus (TRANSNET); • A nanosecond level synchronization of axes for demanding multi-axis applications; • A compact form factor and simple cabling for an easy machine building; • Powerful and user-friendly software tools for setup, monitoring, simulation and automated testing.

Innovative Motion Control SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT COMET is a user friendly interface for commissioning, tuning and maintenance with ETEL controlled equipment. WINGLET is the software tool for automated test and simulation. Thanks to them, the user can optimize the machine design during the development phase as well as the controller parameter set. As a result, machine stability, robustness and performance are improved at runtime. The ETEL Device Interface (EDI) is a library which enables the communication between the ETEL’s motion control system and the customer’s application. The Interpolated...
