Quadrature Feedback Options For Motion Controllers
Share
Developed for the RMC70ÌýSeriesÌýmotion controllers, Delta Computer Systems' QA1 and QA2 quadrature axis modules accept incremental encoder feedback. Using electric or hydraulic motors and actuators, the one- orÌýtwo-axis modules provide ±10V control forÌýrotary and linear position-control applications.

Featuring wire-break detection, feedbackÌýinputs handleÌýA, B and Z differential RS422 signals from quadrature encoders. Each axis also features isolated high speed discrete inputs for registration, home and over-travel limits. In addition, each axis includes an isolated discrete input for drive fault detection, a solid-state relay output for drive enable and LEDs that indicate functioning status by displaying red or green.

For more I/O-intensive systems, users can mount field-changeable expansion modules to the RMC70 series.ÌýAs many as four modules and module types are available, including discrete I/O, analog, pressure/force control and quadrature reference.Ìý
