Aerotech Automation1 XL2e Enhanced, Compact Linear Servo Drive

Less Noise. More Control.

The Automation1-XL2e combines high-end, low noise linear

power amplifiers with precision servo control technology in

a compact form factor—all without sacrificing our high-end

controller features. With no switching noise or deadtime, it

delivers the higher-precision sensing you need for applications

like eddy current inspection, sensor testing, and high-precision

position and velocity tracking. It’s also ideal for small step size

and in-position stability applications because control to servo

motors can be active 100% of the time.

Automation1

The XL2e 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

KEY FEATURES:

• INTEGRATES EASILY IN MULTI-AXIS SYSTEMS

with other Automation1 drives & the iSMC motion controller

• Includes STANDARD ABSOLUTE ENCODER & square-wave

encoder support

• Increases resolution of sine-wave feedback devices with

optional X65.536 ENCODER MULTIPLIER

• Supports optional DUAL-MULTIPLIED & DUAL ABSOLUTE

ENCODER FEEDBACK

• Includes PSO, the ULTIMATE IN POSITION BASED CONTROL

for industrial lasers, cameras & more

• Features SAFE TORQUE OFF (STO) functional safety

(certification pending)

• Offers optional I/O EXPANSION BOARD

The XL2e offers superior performance and a more thoughtful

design than other products on the market. It’s highly integrated

design includes servo and current controllers, linear power

amplifiers, cooling fans and heatsinks in a single package.

High-end component choices for the power amplifier and control

circuits enable more accurate position tracking, more precise

in-position stability and smaller minimum step sizes.

Standard features include safe torque off (STO), a data array with

more than 67 MB of memory, dedicated home and end-of-travel

limit inputs and an enhanced current sense device.

The standard XL2e accepts square-wave and absolute encoder

feedback signals. With the optional encoder multiplier feature, 

you can multiply sine-wave encoders by up to 65.536. Dual-

multiplied and dual-absolute encoder feedback is supported.

The XL2e is more than a motion control device -- it also includes

many process control features. Empowered with our PSO functionality,

a single-axis XL2e can track up to three encoders in real time to trigger

a process tool like an industrial laser or camera. Each XL2e can be

configured with an optional I/O expansion board that includes a

dedicated PSO output, and PSO can be used with a synchronization

input to synchronize process control with an external mode-locked

frequency input.

Two HyperWire connections make it simple to connect the XL2e with

other Automation1 drive hardware in a multi-axis configuration.

A 24-volt, one amp brake output is included. The device is CE approved,

NRTL safety certified and EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive certified.

The power amplifier bandwidth is software selectable.
