Acroloop ACR1000 Series Motion Controllers Simple Type: Motion Control Card

The ACR1000 is a microprocessor based motion controller that can operate as a stand-alone unit or accept infonnation from a host computer. It supplies the necessary signals to drive a D.C servo-amplifier for closed loop or a stepper-motor controller for OPEN LOOP (or CLOSED LOOP) applications. For closed loop feedback it takes input from a square wave encoder. This encoder MUST have complemetary outputs. These outputs may be TTL, line driver, or open collector, depending on the configuration of the card. The ACR1000 is a microprocessor based motion controller that can operate as a Standalone unit within the PC-Bus. It can be configured as either a 1 or 2 axes controller,and can also be used for multi-axes applications by arranging multiple cards in parallel. Each card has its own address number,and multiple cards can perform independent or coordinated motion under host control. For dedicated applications,the card can control a servo amplifier as well as interface to the operator. ACR1000 can also be part of a larger system, interfacing to a host computer via the RS-232 port. For non-dedicated applications, the ACR1000 can be part of a complete system,offering the operator an interactive keyboard and display or Thumbwheel station along with the necessary supporting electronics. Unlike most controllers,the ACR1000 also has a small built-in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The PLC can also work in conjunction with built-in timers and counters. The ACR1000 provides the most detailed programming features available on the market. Details make the difference. Compare the programming details before you buy. The ACR1000 is the preferred choice where a small number of axes, performance and cost effectiveness are the primary considerations.
