Actuators
Includes:
- 830X Picomotor Actuators
- 8401 rotary stage
- 8351 Tiny Picomotor Actuator
- 8310 closed loop driver
“Note: The knob on the end of the drive screw provides inertial mass required for operation. Removal of the knob will prevent the Picomotor from functioning properly and void the warranty.”
Driver
There seem to be at least two different driver systems: “intelligent” / network system and stand alone drivers.
“The Picomotor drivers generate the 130-V pulses required to drive the piezo in the Picomotor.”
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
