Since the acquisition of Acroloop Motion Control Systems in 2002, the ACR family has been the highest performance motion controls in the Parker offering. Each of the five versions of the product is based on a 32-bit floating-point DSP producing unparalleled performance in the area of advanced multi-axis trajectory generation. Because the products are built upon a scalable platform, the same software set works on each of the controllers, providing easy upgrades and transfer of established application code between machines and applications. The hardware is also extremely flexible, allowing the design engineer to easily create the perfect controller configuration for his machine. The power of the ACR hardware is matched by an equally impressive array of software features allowing the design engineer the ability to solve any motion application.
The ACR8010 is Compumotor’s feature-rich controller for ISA PC-bus Operation. The ACR8010 is capable of standalone or PC-bus operation. It has the ability to run up to eight servo loops, with up to 10 encoders at 20 MHz. It can be equipped with eight optional analog inputs through a 12- or 16-bit analog/digital converter (ADC) and introduce these inputs into servo loops. Because of the unit’s modular design, it is possible to have several axes of servo with several axes of stepper on the same controller. All of Compumotor’s Acroloop products utilize the same system software and programming language; this assures users complete flexibility in upgrading their hardware while maintaining their investment in program development.
The ACR8010 is Compumotor’s answer to affordable high performance control when flexibility, real-time speed and ease of programming are most needed.
This product is the successor to the very popular ACR8000 and offers plug compatibility with the older product.
