SPiiPlus PCI Motion Controller

SPiiPlus PCI CM

• NEW! SPiiPlus CM - a stand alone SPiiPlus solution for 1 to 3 axes, providing 5 or 10 amp (10 or 20 amp peak) and including digital servo drives and internal power supply. Built-in HSSI ports for remote control of up to 7 servo drives.
• NEW! SPiiPlus COM Library - Version 4.20 (beta release) with sample code for LabView, Visual Basic and VBScript.
• Serial channel, optional Ethernet channel, and PCI (SPiiPlus PCI model) communications
• Pentium-compatible motion processing unit
• Distributed multi-processor SPii real time servo controller

• 50 micro-second (20kHz) Sampling rate independent of number of axes
• PIV control with notch and second order low pass filter
• Software programmable sin-cos encoder multiplier up to x8192 (requires optional hardware key)
• PEG^TM hardware encoder compare to 5 MHz
• 100 nanosecond hardware position capture
• On-the-fly profile changes at any point
• Complete on-board programming language (ACSPL+)
• Libraries in C / Visual C++/ Visual Basic for complete motion, communications and program control in Windows 98/NT/2000
• Matlab model included in software package
• New Support for VenturCom RTX in SPiiPlus C Library. The SPiiPlus RTX C Library (beta release) provides real-time capabilities between a host PC running VenturCom RTX on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP and the SPiiPlus controller. With SPiiPlus RTX C Library, a user application gets deterministic and high-speed response time for commands sent to and for interrupts received from the controller. The user application can continue to use any standard non-real-time Windows components, including GUI interface, database, Web etc. The beta version of SPiiPlus RTX C Library is now available and supports the most commonly used functions. For more details please contact our sales offices.

The SPiiPlus series of multi-axis motion controllers is the next leap in motion and control technology. The SPiiPlus include three communication architectures: PCI-Bus, Serial Communications, and Ethernet Communications. It is specifically designed to answer the most demanding needs of present and future equipment. Applications include semiconductor manufacturing and inspection, electronic assembly, pick & place machines, testing equipment, complex digital printing and medical scanners and imaging equipment. Since the SPiiPlus controllers are so flexible and so powerful, additional applications can be handled with ease. The capabilities of the SPiiPlus controllers include multi-axis interpolation, tight trajectories, position and I/O synchronization, SIN/COS encoder inputs, sub-nanometer resolution and superior position and velocity accuracy and stability. The SPiiPlus can handle the most demanding applications without compromising speed or throughput. SPiiPlus sister product, the SPiiPCI, can handle the simple axes to form the perfect team of motion controllers cost effectively.

The heart of the SPiiPlus controllers is a multi-processor distributed architecture. The main engine is a Pentium compatible motion processing unit (MPU). The real time control is the second-generation servo processor (SPii) developed by ACS-Tech80. The SPii provides a 120MHz RISC processor core with peripherals that meet the needs of demanding motion control applications, all contained within a single chip. The standard controller implements a PIV Filter, automatic velocity feedforward, acceleration feedforward, notch and second order low pass filter.

Windows tools including a Motion Simulator are provided for tuning and troubleshooting the controller. C/C++/VB based function libraries are available for Windows 98/NT/2000. Every controller meets stringent safety and EMC standards.
