Versatile Models

• Two types to choose from: open collector output and line driver.

• Because both open collector output and line driver types feature 1-, 2-, and 4-axis models, the most appropriate model can be selected for the application at hand. All 1-, 2-, and 4- axis models are 31 mm wide.

Versatile Functions

• Positioning (direct operation) can be done by direct PLC ladder commands for position data, speed data, and acceleration data. This simplifies control in situations when the target position and speed cannot be decided until immediately before operation begins, or when the target position and speed change due to other circumstances. The target position and speed can also be changed during operation.

• Positioning can be done from memory, by writing an operating pattern into the PCU memory in advance. Three position patterns — Terminating, Automatic, and Continuous — can be set with completion codes to respond to a wide range of operations.

• Interrupt feeding moves the axis a specified amount, then stops it, in accordance with an interrupt input. High-speed
  (0.1 ms max.) processing of the interrupt input signal ensures high- precision interrupt positioning. This helps to maximize feeder precision.

High Performance

• Positioning START occurs within 2 ms (maximum speed) after receiving a command from the Programmable Controller.

• Fine control from low to high speed (500 kpps max.) is possible in 1-pps units.

CX-Position Support Software

Various Tools for Easy Data Setup

• The CX-Position runs on a personal computer to enable easy data input, editing, transfer, saving, and printing, as well as status monitoring.

• The efficiency of data setting, referencing, and copying is even further increased by using projects to manage the data for more than one Position Control Unit. Projects can be created automatically and Position Control Unit data can be updated automatically to greatly reduce setup time and maintenance time.
