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

 

General

The CAN controllers of the iCU-DC and iCU-EC series are compact, high-performance drive controllers for 2 - 6 DC servomotors and are offered at an optimal price / performance ratio.
The bench housing integrates all control components needed to solve a wide variety of automation tasks, ranging from the final stage via the I/O assembly to the safety controller.

The control computer has an integrated CANopen PCI card interface serving as CAN Master for the drive controller and I/O components. External upgrades are also possible, up to 128 CAN nodes. The connecting points at the rear of the control computer facilitate easy connection to (for example) a monitor. Peripherals such as a mouse and keyboard can be connected at the USB interfaces provided. LAN connection allows integration into an existing network and can be used for remote servicing.

The NC control core facilitates the interpolation of up to 6 axes (linear, circular, helical) as well as Online and Look Ahead machining. When using the ProNC software, individual axes can be controlled as handling axes (in addition to the interpolating axes).

All final stages have automatic jerk limitation and rest state monitoring (up to safety category 3).
