Working Principle: The controller executes stored motion program and generates motion profiles for each axis. Command signals transmit to external servo drives. Encoders feed back real-time motor position. DSP runs high speed PID algorithm to reduce position error. Digital I/O channels collect field sensor signals and trigger motion events. Communication ports enable connection to upper monitoring system.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install inside protected electrical cabinet
  • Avoid direct exposure to dust, moisture and vibration sources
  • Use shielded cables for encoder and command signal wiring
  • Separate low voltage signal wiring from high power cables
  • Complete reliable protective grounding

Usage Notes:

  • Confirm power supply voltage within 12-24V DC range
  • Set encoder resolution and motor parameters before startup
  • Tune PID parameters for each axis according to mechanical load
  • Backup motion program and parameters
  • Disconnect power before wiring modification
