Npaq MR Drive Rack
This product is not recommended for new designs. Instead, please see consider Automation1 drives and drive racks for all new designs. Automation1 drives and drive racks are a part of the Automation1 Precision Motion Control Platform, which includes the new Automation1 Software-Based Machine Controller and Automation1 Motion Development Kit. The Npaq® MR is a cost-effective, high performance, 4- or 8- axis drive rack. All versions are 3U in size, rack-mountable and compatible with the A3200 motion platform. Featuring high-performance double-precision DSPs, the Npaq MR family performs both current loop and servo-loop closures digitally to ensure the highest level of positioning accuracy and repeatability.

Description
Design Features
- 3U, 19-inch rack-mount design with integral drives
- Flexible design provides the ability to drive brush, brushless, or stepper motors with the same amplifier
- 5 A continuous, 10 amp peak output current
- PWM or linear amplifiers
- Integral power supplies
- IEEE-1394 FireWire interface
- Digital current, velocity, and position loops for improved motion stability
- Optional Ethernet for I/O expansion
- Integrated encoder multiplier for higher throughput and reduced wiring
- CE approved, NRTL safety certification, EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive
Featuring high-performance double-precision DSPs, the Npaq MR family performs both current loop and servo-loop closures digitally to ensure the highest level of positioning accuracy and rate stability. It is this processing capability that allows the Npaq MR to provide loop closure rates up to 20 kHz and to handle both digital and analog I/O processing, data collection, laser firing and encoder multiplication tasks in real time.
Standard options for the Npaq MR include integrated encoder multiplication, per axis brake control logic, I/O expansion and integrated emergency stop circuitry.
The Npaq MR uses integral amplifiers supporting both linear and PWM topologies to control brushless, DC brush or stepper motor types. The Npaq MR supports one integrated motor operation voltage with mains turn-on current limiting.
The Npaq MR supports single-axis position synchronized output (PSO) for precise synchronizing of external devices, and supports per axis I/O options with up to 64 opto-isolated inputs and outputs available to the user.
