The C-867 controller is espe-cially designed for closed-loop positioning systems equipped with PILine® piezo linear motor drives. A compact case contains both drive electronics for the piezo ceramic motors and components for controlling and communication.
The controller can be operated from a host PC either via a USB port or an RS-232 interface. Alternatively, a stand-alone operation is possible. Here, stored macro commands can be executed, or manual control by joystick or pushbutton box is possible.
Two models are available: C-867.160 is used to operate single-axis positioning systems, the
two-channel C-867.260 is used with XY scanning stages.
Highly Specialized PID Servo-Controller
The C-867 is based on a highly specialized DSP (Digital Signal Processor) that handles the
PID servo-control algorithm as well as other system functions. Because of the motion properties typical for ultrasonic piezomotors, the controller has a number of advanced features, including dynamic control parameter adaption. By automatically switching between gainsets for dynamic and static operation an optimized settling behavior within a couple of 10 milliseconds is achieved. The broadband encoder input (50 MHz) allows high resolution encoders to be used with the outstandingly high accelerations and velocities that PILine® drives deliver.
Highest Stability by Frequency Control
The integrated piezomotor drive electronics support all PILine® ultrasonic piezomotors used for the M-66x to M-69x positioning stage series.
Drift in the mechanical frequency of the motor caused by temperature or load changes is automatically compensated by a frequency-control loop which adjusts the operating frequency
of the driving voltage. This leads to the highest stability in pushing force, velocity and closed-loop control.
Software / Programming
In addition to the user software for setup, system optimization and operation, comprehensive LabVIEW and DLL libraries are provided.
The PIMikroMove™ user software provides the PITuningTool for optimizing system performance. Graphic displays show the system's behaviour and facilitate parameter setting.
Advantages of PILine® Micropositioning Systems
Positioning systems equipped with ceramic ultrasonic drives of the PILine® series provide several advantages over positioners that apply classic drive technology:
- Smaller dimensions
- Higher holding force when powered down; no holding current
- Increased acceleration of up to 5 g
- Increased velocity of up to 500 mm/s or 720°/s
- No leadscrews, gears or other mechanical components, no wear or maintenance
- No lubricants
- Non-magnetic and vacuum-compatible operating principle
