Motion Controller
| The
NMotion® SMC offers the broadest array of programming interfaces
and core motion capabilities of any automation system available today.
All motion commands can be accessed in C, C++, or Visual BASIC®
for custom OEM applications, or in AeroBasicTM, a rapid prototyping development
language based on an RS-274 G-code style programming interface. The NMotion
SMC has the programming flexibility and capability to meet the requirements
of the most demanding motion applications of OEMs and end-users alike.
POINT-TO-POINT MOTION  Basic motions such as independent axis positioning and jogging are simple to implement. Users can program in either absolute or incremental mode, or jog at constant speed with programmable accel, decel, and feedrate. Accel and decel can be linear or sinusoidal. INTERPOLATED MOTION  Linear and circular interpolated motions are supported. Users can program in AeroBasicTM English-style commands, G-codes, or C/C++/VB. The NMotion SMC also can run CAD generated programs. |
ACCELERATION
LIMITING  Anticipating sharp corners and small radius arcs is a special feature of velocity profiling. The NMotion SMC continuously monitors multiple blocks and will automatically decelerate as needed. The number of blocks it can look ahead is limited only by available processor time. ANALOG POWER CONTROL The NMotion SMC can adjust the setting of an analog output in relationship to the vector speed of two axes. This function permits the automatic regulation of laser power or material dispensing processes as the axes change velocity. Combining analog power control with look-ahead acceleration limiting reduces program complexity and increases machine throughput by specifying a peak machine speed and analog power setting and having the control automatically adjust these values as a function of the programmed tool path.  ELECTRONICALLY GEARED MOTIONS Mechanical line shaft motion can be replaced with electronic gearing. Gear ratios are programmable and can be electronically engaged and disengaged for flexible, software-based machine control.
