1. Precision of Measurement
· 150 KHz high speed quadrature counters (non-balanced) are used to capture position information from linear and rotary transducers. The on board counters employ digital filtering to assist with noise immunity. The counting is by on-board dedicated hardware counters. Count values are read and memorised. Count values are retained at power down.
· Count resolution range: 32 bits or about 4 billion counts.
. Display readout resolution for most applications is 0.01 mm. or 0.001"
· Rotary and linear devices are supported. Open Collector driven inputs preferred.
· Index pulse supported
· Transducer excitation: select 5 or 12 V DC
· Quad 16 Bit ADC option
· +/- 5 V DC excitation
· Non balanced
2. Precision of Control
Digital to Analog Converter Outputs
· 12 bit DAC servo drive outputs +/-10 V DC resolution +/-2048 counts
· Power driver modules includes 8 x 1A FET PWM drivers
· 0-2000 count resolution at 200Hz.
Generally, these specifications are more than adequate for the control of servo electric and hydraulic systems. iCON is a precision instrument designed to ensure as high a level of accuracy and control as possible.
3. System Diagnostics on board
- System currents and voltages are monitored by iCON
- On board temperature measured
- Output currents to control devices are monitored.
- Output current templates flag error currents to control devices in real time.
