INTRODUCTION
The 2-Axis Servo Module, in conjunction with external motor
drive systems and electronic encoders, provides two axes of
closed loop point-to-point position, velocity, and acceleration
control. In addition, electronic gearing and electronic cam
allow the module to replace mechanical gear trains and
cams electronically for improved performance with no wear,
no backlash, and faster setup times. Two or more modules
can be connected together to provide synchronized control of
multiple axes.
Typically, this module is used for velocity control,
point-to-point positioning control, electronic line shaft
applications, and electronic cams requiring position
synchronization. See Appendix I for a software block
diagram of the module.
This manual describes the functions and specifications of the
module. It also includes a detailed overview of installation
and servicing procedures, as well as examples of
programming methods. See Appendix F for a list of
enhancements to the current version of the module.
