Aerotech Automation1 XC2e Enhanced, Compact Servo Drive with PWM+

The Automation1 XC2e servo motor drive features PWM+ technology,

delivering Aerotech’s industry-leading linear amplifier performance in

a compact, efficient PWM package. Improve motion quality with

sub-nanometer in-position stability and boost throughput with fast

step-and-settle and superior tracking performance in our smallest

panel-mount drive.

Synchronize laser firing or process triggers with motion using multi-axis

PSO, precisely align digital and analog I/O samples with the servo loop

and prevent unexpected motion with safe torque off (STO).

KEY FEATURES:

• Connects through the HyperWire® fiber-opticbus, which has 20 

TIMES THE BANDWIDTH of 100BASE-T Ethernet buses

• Includes SAFE TORQUE OFF (STO) safety circuit

• Generates 100 VDC BUS motor power & up to 10 AMPS PEAK output

• Features drive array with MORE THAN 67 MB of memory

• Collects analog sensor or position data UP TO 320 kHz (triggered

by axis position)

• Offers many optional features, including Multi axis Position

Synchronized Output (PSO) & I/O expansion board

Automation1

The XC2e is a part of the user-friendly Automation1 motion control platform,

which includes the following:

• Development Software

• Controls

• Motor Drives

• Fiber-Optic HyperWire® Communication Bus

Industry-Leading Data Acquisition Speed and Volume Capability

No other motion control platform can give you the data acquisition speed and

volume you get with the Automation1 XC2e. For applications where data

analysis speed is critical to maximizing throughput, the Automation1 platform

delivers industry-leading performance.

Better Control. More Precision

The XC2e connects to the Automation1 Intelligent Software-Based Machine

Controller (iSMC) controller over fiber-optic HyperWire®, the fastest, highest

-throughput communication bus in motion control.

You can use the XC2e PWM amplifiers to control brushless AC, brush DC,

voice coil and stepper motor types at up to 100 VDC operating voltage and

10 A peak current capability.

With process control features such as additional I/O and Aerotech’s ultrafast,

low latency Position Synchronized Output (PSO), the XC2e commands your

process tool based on the real-time encoder position.

This means processes built around the XC2e have better motion and process

performance.

Feature-Forward Design

Standard features for the XC2e include STO, a data array consisting of more

than 16 million 32-bit elements, dedicated home and end-of-travel limit inputs,

and an enhanced current sense device. Standard encoder support includes

square-wave and absolute encoders.

Add I/O to your XC2e with an expansion board containing analog and digital 

I/O, an added encoder input, and dedicated PSO.

Upgrade your process control capabilities with one of many multi-axis PSO

options. Improve the resolution of amplified sine-wave encoders by adding

a feedback multiplier, including dual loop multiplier support.
