1-axis motion controller GEO MACRO

2-axisEthernetdigital

Geo MACRO Drive is a 1- to 2-axis Direct PWM amplifier controlled exclusively over a MACRO Ring. Geo MACRO Drive interfaces to the controller through the 125 Mbit/sec MACRO ring, with either a fiber-optic or Ethernet electrical medium, accepting numerical command values for direct PWM voltages and returning numerical feedback values for phase current, motor position, and status. It accepts many types of position feedback to the master controller, as well as axis flags (limits, home, and user) and general-purpose analog and digital I/O. Typically, Geo MACRO Drives must be controlled by a MACRO Ring Controller. This provides a highly distributed hardware solution, greatly simplifying system wiring, while maintaining a highly centralized software solution, keeping system programming simple.
