Delta Tau: Power Clipper

Utilizing a cost-effective Linux-based CPU, the Power Clipper will give you all the software and motion features from the Power PMAC within a low-cost, embedded solution.

Motor Servo Control

  • Extremely fast update rates (Phase and Servo)

  • Standard PID with full feedforward model

  • Powerful automatic tuning and analyzer tools

  • Analog, Pulse Width Modulated (PWM), Pulse Frequency Modulated (PFM), MACRO or EtherCAT Outputs

  • Vibration suppression filters

  • Multiple 7th order notch and low pass filters

  • Adaptive control for varying loads

  • Cascaded loops (force, height, camera auto-focus control)

  • Support for custom-written commutation routines

  • Support for custom-written servo routines

  • Custom routines directly in C or from MATLAB®/Simulink®

Coordinate Systems / Forward and Inverse Kinematics

  • Up to 70 axes of coordinated or independent motion (8 local, 64 over EtherCAT)

  • Up to 128 independent coordinate systems

  • Up to 32 independent axes per coordinate system

  • Dynamic axes transformations (e.g. offsets, rotations, mirroring)

  • Forward/Inverse kinematics for non-linear mechanisms

  • User defined routines convert between tooltip coordinates and actuator positions

  • Permits direct specification of tooltip path

Trajectory Generation - Motion Programs

  • Auto-coordination of multiple sets of axes

  • Linear, circular, rapid, position-velocity-time (PVT), LIN to PVT (curve fit), Spline move modes

  • Seamless blending between linear, circular and PVT modes

  • Automatic move until trigger (hardware input)

  • True S-Curve accel / decel

  • All move modes supported with user kinematics

  • Dynamic multi-block lookahead with velocity/acceleration control and jerk limit

  • Sub-millisecond segmentation time

  • Negative feed rate for true motion reversal in look ahead

  • Move block execution rate up to 10,000 blocks/sec

  • G-code, M-code, and T-code ready

  • Calculations and I/O synchronous to motion

  • Tool radius compensation, 2D or 3D

Programmable Logic Controller (PLCs)

  • Access to all registers

  • Trigonometric, transcendental, vector and matrix functions

  • 64-bit floating-point architecture optimized math

  • Executive functions for standalone operation

  • Data gathering of up to 128 hardware/software registers per servo cycle

  • Program in PMAC Script

  • Program in ANSI C:

  • Real time with preemptive kernel routines

  • General purpose routines

  • MATLAB®/Simulink® Embedded Coder® generated code

Compensation Tables

  • Position/torque compensation tables in 1D, 2D, or 3D with rollover and mirroring options

  • 1st/3rd order interpolation between points every servo cycle

  • Up to 256 compensation tables (64K each)

  • Support for superimposed compensation table results

  • Backlash compensation, fixed or in tables

Hardware Position Capture and Compare

  • Specialized circuitry tying encoder counts to digital I/O

  • /O on exact count (w/sub-count interpolation) at any speed (within 10 nanoseconds)

  • For probing, registration, measurement trigger, laser firing

Gantry Control

  • Follower motor(s) executes leader’s trajectory

  • Automatic skew removal on homing

  • Automatic gantry cross-coupling servo correction

Electronic Gearing and Cam

  • Powerful master/slave techniques

  • Position following (gearing) requires no program for motion

  • External time base (cam) keeps full trajectory flexibility (non-returning, limited reversal, e.g. moving web application)

  • Up to 256 cam tables (16k points each)

  • Position/torque profile(s)

  • Returning, forward/reverse travel

  • Extremely precise synchronized outputs

Safety & Other Features
