Software Overview
 

The E-500 modular piezo controller system offers a broad choice of control modules for nanopositoning systems and actuators. This includes piezo amplifier and position servo controller modules for up to three channels with different features as well as display and interface modules. Flexible configuration makes the system adaptable to a wide range of applications.

E-500 systems are assembled to order, tested, and, if a servo-controller is present, calibrated with the associated piezo mechanics.

Remote Control via Computer Interface
Installing the E-517, computer interface/display module (see link) with 24-bit resolution makes possible control from a host PC.

Optionally, digital control via an external D/A converter is possible. For several D/A boards from National Instruments, PI offers a corresponding LabVIEW driver set which is compatible with the PI General Command Set (GCS), the command set used by all PI controllers. A further option includes the patented HyperBit technology providing enhanced system resolution.

Two chassis are available:
The E-500.00 19\" rackmount chassis provides operating voltages for all compatible modules including amplifiers, servo-controllers, display and interface modules (see system configuration see link).
A more compact 91/2-inch version of the system is available as the E-501.00. It can hold one amplifier module (1- or 3-channel units available), one servo-control module (1- or 3-channel) and one display / interface module (1- or 3-channel).
A modified E-500 chassis for more channels is available on request. For systems with up to 12 channels, the E-500.621 chassis with E-621 amplifier / controller modules can be used (see link).
