The product You were Looking for was moved Click Here for new Address C-862 Mercury™ II DC-Motor Controller/Driver High Performance at Low Cost Integrated Driver, no External Amplifier Required Stand-Alone Functionality Daisy-Chain Network for Multi-Axis Applications Easy Address Setting Macro Command Language Non-Volatile EEPROM for Macros and Parameters Parameters can Be Changed On-the-Fly TTL Inputs for Limit & Origin Switches Motor-Brake Control Additional TTL I/O Lines The Mercury™ Palm-Top DC-Motor Controller is the optimal solution for motion control applications where a precision positioner is to be controlled by a PC or PLC (programmable logic controller). Integrated Amplifier and PWM Outputs The unique Mercury™ concept combines a high-performance motion controller and an inte-grated power amplifier in an extremely small package. Additional PWM control outputs allow the direct operation of any DC-motor-driven PI micro-positioning system-even high-speed stages such as the M-500 ActiveDrive™ Translation Stages-reducing costs, increasing reliability and simplifying the setup. Dual Processor Architecture The Mercury™ II controller employs a highly specialized processor providing high-performance PID motion control with many options for trajectory generation and filter settings. Position, velocity and other motion parameters can be changed on-the-fly. For heightened system safety and performance, all communication and command parsing activity is handled by a second, independent processor. Any quadrature TTL incremental encoder can be used for position feedback (linear scales, rotary encoders, interferometers). Limit and origin switch inputs and a motor-brake output are also standard. Macro Command Language The Mercury™ II controller offers a high-level mnemonic command language with macro and compound command functionality. Macros can be stored in the non-volatile EEPROM for later recall. An autostart macro is available to run automation tasks at power up (no run-time computer communication required!). Network Capability Up to 16 Mercury™ II controllers can be daisy-chained for multi-axis motion control applications. Each controller includes software, an RS-232 communications cable and a network cable. The C-862.00 set also includes the C-890.PS wide-range power supply, networkcable and a null modem cable for PC connection.
