Incorporating three built-in universal drives (each 1 to 5kW), the SPiiPlusCMhp/ba offers an economical solution to the needs of modern motion centric machinery: high performance, compact, scalable and distributed control at a reasonable cost. The new control module features delivers ultimate servo performance, the shortest move & settle possible, minimal jitter, outstanding smoothness, multi-axis synchronization and robustness. The SPiiPlusCMhp/ba also features 20kHz sampling rate, powerful control algorithms, incremental and absolute encoder interfaces.
The SPiiPlusCMhp/ba EtherCAT network Master can control and synchronize up to 32 axes and thousands of I/O. The EtherCAT open architecture operates in conjunction with ACS’ line of EtherCAT servo, step motor drives and I/O modules, as well as with any certified EtherCAT module that complies with CAN-over-EtherCAT protocol. Therefore, the SPiiPlusCMhp/ba provides a comprehensive and cost-effective control solution for demanding machinery.
ACS’ new control module is fully supported by the SPiiPlusNT Suite application development studio for network setup, drive configuration, axis tuning, and multi-axis application programming. This also includes a full PC-based controller simulator, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership and time-to-market for OEMs, system integrators and end users.
