XPS Universal High-Performance Motion Controller/Driver - 1

Phone: 1-800-222-6440 • Fax: 1-949-253-1680 844 M o t o r i z e d P o s i t i o n i n g MOTORIZED ROTATION MOTORIZED LINEAR STAGES TECHNICAL REFERENCE STAGES SYSTEMS CONTROLLERS AND AMPLIFIERS MOTORIZED ACTUATORS MOTORIZED OPTICAL MOUNTS XPS Universal High-Performance Motion Controller/Driver • High performance, 1-8 axes motion controller for steppers, DC servos, brushless motors, voice coils and other motors. • High-speed 10/100 Base-T Ethernet TCP/IP communication interface (typ. 0.3 ms command execution). • Advanced 10KHz servo loop with variable PID’s, low-pass and notch filters, linear error compensation and 3D error mapping. • Wide variety of motion modes including point-to-point, velocity profiling, line-arc trajectories, splines, PVT trajectories, electronic gearing and analog input tracking. • Extensive external device or system functionalities utilizing 4 user-definable analog inputs, 4 user-definable analog outputs and 30 TTL inputs and outputs. Enables hardware position latch input, position compare output and event triggers for process development and synchronization. The XPS is an extremely high-performance, easy to use, integrated motion controller/driver offering high-speed communication through 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, outstanding trajectory accuracy and powerful programming functionality. It combines user-friendly web interfaces with advanced trajectory and synchronization features to precisely control the most complex to the most basic motion sequences. Multiple digital and analog I/O's, triggers and supplemental encoder inputs provide users with additional data acquisition, synchronization and control features that can improve the most demanding motion applications. Proprietary universal driver modules allow the XPS to drive 1 to 8 axes of any Newport actuator, linear or rotary stage. By using pass-through drive modules, the XPS is also capable of controlling many other motion devices, whether they use stepper, DC brush, DC brushless rotary or linear, voice coil or piezoelectric actuation. The XPS utilizes a high-performance 10/100 Base-T Ethernet communication link with TCP/IP protocol and uses an integrated web-site interface for all utility software tools, data transfer using FTP and device communication. This enables the XPS to perform complex multi-tasking and execute multi-user applications using virtually any operating system including Win 2000, Win XP, Win NT, etc. When networked, authorized Unix-, Linux-, or Windows users can access the same controller from any place in the world for remote control, code development, data transfer or diagnostics. The object oriented format of the XPS firmware with powerful, yet intuitive, multi-parameter functions (commands) is also more consistent with state-of-the-art programming methods than traditional mnemonic commands. Positioner Grouping and Compensation Features To optimize the performance and ease-of-use of advanced features like line-arc trajectories, splines, contouring, and complex PVT trajectories, the XPS incorporates motion groups which are user defined as single axis positioners, spindles, gantry groups, XY groups, XYZ groups or multiple axis groups. This greatly improves process flow and error handling and provides a uniform structure for easy application development. An extensive set of compensation factors including backlash, linear error and single axis, 2D, and 3D mapping offer a broad selection of options to increase the accuracy and performance of any application, which can transform the most basic positioner into a high performance device. All compensations, including the most sophisticated 3D mapping, are corrected dynamically during each servo cycle, which has an update rate of 10 kHz. [For a more detailed description, see the Seminar notes of the XPS web page.] Advanced Trajectory and Servo Loop Features The advanced trajectory generation and servo loop algorithms of XPS are some of the most powerful developments in the motion control industry. The proprietary motion profiler (trajectory generator) automatically optimizes the S-Gamma trajectory jerk time
