Catalog excerpts

The RTC16^ control board provides synchronous, interference- resistant control of scan systems, lasers and peripheral equipment in real time. It is available as a PC interface board, as a PCI-Express A high-performance signal processor and the supplied DLL simplify programming under Windows. Software commands are loaded into the RTC®5's freely-configurable list buffer and processed by the DSP. Every 10 us, appropriate signals are output to or read-out from the scan system, laser and peripheral equipment. The RJC% communicates with scan systems via the new SL2-100 data transfer protocol. This protocol supports 20-bit control sig- nals and thereby a 16x higher positioning resolution compared to the RTC®4 predecessor board. The RTC®5's processor automati- cally performs micro-vectorization and image field correction. For laser control, various programmable laser signals are available for vector and bitmap processing. During execution, the board can provide automatic position/speed/vector-dependent readjustment For SCANLAB scan systems with fully digital servo electronics (e.g. intelliSGW®, ¡ntelI¡cube®, intelliD/?//./.®, intellil/1/H.D®, powerSC/W i), the RTC® 5 also supports all possibilities arising from the ¡DRIVE® technology. This includes real-time monitoring and remote diagnosis of key operational parameters, simulation- assisted process optimization and the use of different dynamics tunings. The feedback of the scan-system speed can be used for speed-dependent laser control. Numerous options provide the extensive flexibility system integra- tors need for meeting diverse customer requirements.
