Actuators

Includes:

  • 830X Picomotor Actuators
  • 8401 rotary stage
  • 8351 Tiny Picomotor Actuator
  • 8310 closed loop driver

Driver

There seem to be at least two different driver systems: “intelligent” / network system and stand alone drivers.

Network

Basically a controller receives input from either a joystick, pendant, ethernet, or RS-232 which then relays a signal to RS-485 daisy chained (Distributed Control Network (DCN)) open and/or closed loop drivers. Free Windows DLL available (advertised in manual, haven't looked into it). Runs off of 24VDC using standard Phoenix Contact Combicon compatible quick disconnects.

Major family components:

  • 8750 Intelligent Picomotor Network Controller
    • Input: RS-232 or joystick
    • Output: DCN
    • Does not support 8751-C driver
    • Does not support 8757 hand terminal
  • 8751 iPico closed loop driver
    • Used with 8310 actuator
    • Output: 1 4-pin single channel picomotor driver
  • 8752 Intelligent Picomotor Ethernet Controller
    • Input: RS-232, joystick, or ethernet
    • Output: DCN
    • Supports 8751-C driver
      • NOTE: requires firmware 1.5.0+
    • Supports 8757 hand terminal
  • 8753 iPico open loop driver
    • Output: 3 4-pin single channel picomotor driver
      • XXX: why 4 pins if its just a peizo?
    • Multi axis devices require 8725 multi-axis adapter
  • 8754 iPoco joystick
    • Use directly with 8750 (or 8752 I presume)
    • Standard DCN device…should be able to put in daisy-chain
  • 8757 iPico Handpad / Hand Terminal
  • LS-773 Open Collector I/O module (LOGOSOL NETWORK I/O NODE LS-773“)
    • Same spects as LS-784 except 6 OC outputs can drive 1A and 1 SSR can drive 5A
  • LS-784 Open Emitter I/O module (“LOGOSOL NETWORK I/O NODE LS-784”)
    • Inputs
      • 10 digital
      • 3 analog (0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20V, 0-30V selected by DIP switch)
        • How many bit? Bandwidth?
      • 1 of above can be counter or timer with pre-scalar
    • Outputs
      • 8 open emitter (0.5A each)
      • 2 of above can be 8-bit PWM

Additionally:

  • 8721 10' comm cable
  • 8722 Comm adapter
    • Basically RS-485 ⇔ RS-232 adapter in place of 8750 or 8752
  • 8724 5” comm cable
  • 8725 multi-axis adapter
  • 8726 6“ power cable
  • 8755 power supply
  • 8763-KIT: 8752 ethernet controller + 8753 driver + power supply + cables
