Physical Layout and Rack Mounting
This module measures 310 mm in width and 200 mm in height. Its depth reaches 35 mm for standard card cage systems. The unit weighs 820 grams due to the dual power stages. Two metal ejector handles help you insert or remove the board safely.
Internal Architecture and Energy Storage
Two hundred thirty-four components populate this multi-layer servo board. Eight 680 µF capacitors form a 5440 µF energy storage bank. This bank supplies peak current to both axes during acceleration ramps. Consequently, the module delivers smooth torque without sagging the backplane supply. A 16-bit DSP executes motion algorithms at 25 MHz clock speed.
Axis Control and Command Output
The module generates ±10V analog torque commands for each axis separately. You can configure the two axes for gantry coordination or independent moves. Each command output drives an external servo amplifier directly. Therefore, you do not need additional signal conditioning between boards. A 50-pin ribbon cable carries these analog signals to the drive amplifiers.
Feedback Interface and Encoder Inputs
Two independent encoder channels accept RS-422 differential signals from motors. Each channel reads A, B, and index pulses for precise position feedback. The module supports quadrature counts up to 1 MHz input frequency. Consequently, you can achieve high-speed positioning with micron-level accuracy. LED indicators on the front panel show axis ready and fault status for each channel.
