iPU-DC / iPU-EC (Multiple axis controller)

General

The iPU power units are powerful drive controllers for up to four linear or circular axes with brush or brushless motors. The compact controller integrates all necessary controller components, which are needed to solve a wide range of automation tasks. These range from iMD10 or iMD20 final output stages through the I/O module to safety control and power electronics.

As its interface for NC control, the iPU power unit has a CANopen interface at the back of the housing, which works according to the DS301 bus protocol and DS402. By using the optional CAN PCI board iCC 10 or a iPC series control computer, the controller can control interpolation (linear, circular, helical) of all four axes as well as track processing. The final output stages (iMD10 or iMD20) also have automatic jerk limitations and rest state monitoring. The control elements integrated in the front of the housing, such as EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN, START or STOP enable convenient operation.
