Released August/2004

Soloist Single-Axis Servo Controller

· Positioning control for brushless, DC brush, or stepping motors
· Available with up to 30 A peak current
· Point-to-point motion from a program, from an immediate command, or initiated from an input or joystick; positioning modes include indexing, CAM, freerun
· Servo loop autotuning
· Digital current loop
· Programs and parameters stored in nonvolatile FLASH memory for easy upgrade
· Single axis Position Synchronized Output (PSO)
· Multi-axis configuration through serial port

Aerotech's Soloist is a single-axis servo controller that combines a power supply, amplifier, and position controller in a single package. The Soloist can control up to four tasks simultaneously, as well as handle variables and manage I/O, for demanding production applications. It has high-speed position latch inputs and advanced data logging capabilities that make it ideal for laboratory, test, and industrial applications.

The Soloist's human-machine interface software provides a clear, easy to use platform for controlling the entire process. A Windows®-based interface provides powerful diagnostic, development, and analysis tools for OEMs and end-users alike.

Soloists are fully tested and ready to run right out of the box. Aerotech can integrate the Soloist into a complete motion system, removing the burden of parameter setup and axis tuning. It is capable of driving a wide range of motors including brushless, DC servo, and microsteppers. Brushless motors are sinusoidally commutated to minimize torque ripple.

The Soloist uses a digital servo loop with feedforward to tightly track velocity and position trajectories with virtually zero error. On-board autotuning makes servo tuning simple.

With variables and math capability, one program can be used to produce a variety of parts by simply prompting the user for new application data. You can even teach the Soloist positions with a digitizing joystick.

The Soloist has other built-in features such as axis calibration and backlash compensation to maximize your machine's accuracy and precision. The "user units" feature makes it easy to customize to your specific machine for both linear and rotary applications.

The Soloist is equipped with dual encoder inputs so you can tackle master-slave applications or achieve higher accuracies with dual-loop control. Precise registration-based moves are also possible because of the fast 0.1 microsecond acknowledge time. The Soloist easily handles complex functions such as output-on-the-fly and velocity profiling.
