Description
This fully programmable, powerful DSP-based motion controller serves as the only controller necessary even in the most complex and sophisticated machine control systems. Depending on which model you choose, the MX2000 can simultaneously operate up to 8 servo or step motor axes while performing up to 7 concurrent motion control and I/O tasks. The MX2000 control system incorporates not only the Texas Instruments TMS320C31 floating point, 32 bit, 33MHZ digital signal processor but also has 256 Kbytes of “Flash” memory available for user program storage.
The MX2000 has been designed for use with all Superior SLO-SYN and most other manufacturers servo amplifiers and step motor drives. The MX2000-2 model controls one or two axes, the MX2000-6 model controls up to 6, and for up to 8 axes of control, we offer the MX2000-8 model. The latter two models can be used with optional expansion boards providing more than 350 low level digital or standard OPTO-22 I/O points. For ease of communicating the MX2000 provides two serial ports. Both serial ports can be configured separately for RS485 or RS232 communications.
The MX2000 controller may be operated as a stand alone system, with or without an operator interface panel or host computer. In some cases a simple switch interface connected via the provided axis or expansion I/O will suffice for controlling a machine that does not need extensive interaction with the operator for setup information or message display. BCD switches may also be incorporated to enter numeric data for simple setup. However, using an Operator Interface panel, complete with a keypad and display, such as the IWS-120SE, may provide more flexibility and easier and more “user-friendly” machine operation.
