MAXnet Motion Controller

The MAXnet is a 5-axis motion controller for stepper and/or servo motor control on a single 4 x 6.5 inch card.  The communications interface is Ethernet and/or RS232. Each axis can be selected by the user to be an open or closed stepper, or a servo axis.  Outputs are provided for 16 bit analog servo output as well as step and direction for stepper system applications.  The servo loop is a PID filter with feed-forward coefficients and an update rate of 122 ms on all 5 axes.  An additional 8 User Definable I/O is available for synchronization and control of other events.  Incremental encoder feedback, differential or single ended, is used for all servo axes and is available for position feedback and may also be used for slip or stall detection.

Ethernet or RS232 Communications

• Ethernet utilizes standard TCP/IP protocol.
• RS232 Baud rate = 9600 to 115.2K
• Servo PID update rate of 122 ms on all 5 axes
• Configurable PID filter with feed forward coefficients.
• Each axis has +Limit, -Limit, Home, Auxiliary out, and axis control out.
• 8 General purpose bi-directional TTL I/O
• 1 General purpose analog output with 16 bit, +/-10 VDC input
• 2 Channels of general purpose analog input with 16-bit (+/-10 VDC)
• Each axis has an incremental encoder input
• Quadrature Encoder Feed back up to 16 MHz on all encoder inputs.
• Step pulses from 0 to 4,194,303 steps per second
• Accuracy for point to point moves ±0 counts. 
• Backlash compensation. 
• Custom, parabolic, “S”-Curve & linear trajectory profiles. 
• Real time encoder position capture
• S-Curve with 4-quadrant jerk parameters.
• Small form-factor, 4in. x 6.5in. 
• Over 250 ASCII character commands, “universal” to current and previous OMS controllers
• Designed for expandability (custom solutions)
