The single-channel E-625 piezo controller is equipped with a RS-232 and USB interface and precision 24-bit A/D converters for exceptional positional stability and resolution. It integrates a low-noise integrated piezo amplifier which can output and sink peak currents of 120 mA for low-voltage piezoelectric actuators. Servo-controller versions for position sensing with capacitive or SGS sensors are available.
PI employs proprietary position sensors for fast response and optimum positioning resolution and stability in the nanometer range and below. For high-end applications, capacitance sensors provide direct and non-contact position feedback (direct metrology). Strain gauge sensors (SGS) are available for cost-effective applications. The integrated notch filters (adjustable for each axis) improve the stability and allow high-bandwidth operation closer to the resonant frequency of the mechanics.
Multi-Axis Network for up to 12 Channels
Up to twelve E-625 for capacitive or SGS sensors can be networked and controlled over a single PC interface. The different units are connected in parallel (not daisy-chained) over the link providing higher data rates than possible with serial links. Between the individual E-625s, parallel networking is realized via optional E-625.CN cables.
High-Resolution Digital Interface
The digital interface includes high-precision 24-bit A/D converters for optimum position stability and resolution and supports fast communication with the host-computer.
Waveform Memory
The built-in wave table can store user-defined data points internally. These values can then be output automatically (or under the control of an external signal) and programmed for point-by-point or full-scan triggering. Thus, trajectory profiles can be repeated reliably and commanded easily.
Extensive Software Support
The controllers are delivered with Windows operating software. Comprehensive DLLs and LabVIEW drivers are available for automated control.
The extensive command set is based on the hardware-independent General Command Set (GCS), which is common to all current PI controllers for both nano- and micropositioning systems. GCS reduces the programming effort in the face of complex multi-axis positioning tasks or when upgrading a system with a different PI controller.
