PM1000 Motion Controller

A fundamental feature of the PM1000 controller is the motion control algorithm developed to meet the most demanding accuracy requirements enabling precise motor control to be obtained.

Unlike many other motion controllers the processor is used to control the motion of a single motor rather than being required to manage simultaneous motion of a multi-axis system. Since the controller only has one motion to supervise it is able to achieve much tighter loop control resulting in near zero error. This, combined with the digital loop algorithm results in greater smoothness, stability and positional accuracy, even when remotely mounted high resolution encoding is employed. Where the sequential control of two axes is required however, a single PM1000 may be used to control both motors. The compact size and low unit cost of the PM1000 ensures that even where the control of multi-axis systems is required the PM1000 remains a space efficient and economic solution. In such systems the required number of controllers are simply linked together thereby providing the ultimate flexibility and maximum up-grade potential.
