PC3400A Family Hardware Reference Manual KOLLMORGEN

• On the PC34xxAi series, up to 100 data points can be entered to define complex SPLINE tables as a function of time or complex CAM tables as a function of the master encoder input. Master/slave (Electronic Gearing) relationships can be developed from the secondary encoder inputs, providing motion output as a RATIO, CAM, or SPLINE. 

 • The PC34xxAi-001-xI has an additional 16 general-purpose digital inputs and 8 general purpose outputs.

The PC34xxAc (Centennial) Series Servo Controllers are one of the most advanced DSP motion controllers available. It can accept high level commands directly, eliminating the need for a motion controller and can be operated standalone or networked.  Each unit has the ability to store and execute motion programs. Additional features available are: 

 • All modes of operation offer a Real-time Adaptive Tuning feature to optimize the performance of the selected servomotor.  This Real-time Adaptive Tuning feature is bi-directional and includes load and inertia estimation and compensation. It also provides an Active Current Loop Compensation gain and phase.  Optimal performance can be obtained on systems with varying inertial loads up to 50:1. 

 • Real-time clock, date and time stamp of fault history. 

 • Two additional 16-bit analog inputs and two 12-bit analog outputs can be utilized to interface to the user’s environment. 

 • Advanced mathematical capabilities, 40 bit floating point, LOG functions, and trigonometric functions are available to simplify programming of complex motions. 

 • Advanced Electronic Gearing functions are available to meet the most demanding applications. Typical applications are conveyors, packaging and folding, labeling and printing, flying knife, shears and too many others to be mentioned. 

 • Complex SPLINE tables of up to 3000 data points can be entered to define custom motion profiles as a function of time. Complex CAM tables of up to 3000 data points can be entered to define custom motion profiles as a function of the master encoder input or as a function of the Auxiliary PID loop. 

 • Master/slave relationships can be developed from the secondary encoder inputs, providing motion output as a RATIO or CAM. 

 • Auxiliary PID loop with 100 microsecond update rate can be utilized in conjunction with the analog inputs, SPLINE, CAM, and master/slave capabilities.  Applications such as web-tensioning, pump, and motion profiling can be addressed with ease. PATENT US5357178
