The GT-200 series motion controller is a universal controller. The series has two product versions, the GT-200-SV and GT-200-SG, widely used in applications ranging from simple point-to-point motion control equipment to highly complicated profile motion control equipment, such as measuring machines, engraving machines, NC lathes, machining centers and robots.
Programmable sampling rate. The minimum interpolation period of four axes is 200µs. The minimum control period of single-axis point-to-point motion is 25µs.
Modes of motion: point-to-point motion, linear interpolation, circular interpolation, velocity
control, interface to manual pulse generator, and electronic gearing
Programmable trapezoid curve planning and S-curve planning and update parameters on-the-fly
All registers for computational parameters and trajectory planning parameters are 32 bits
Hardware capture of home switch and index signal of encoder
Set following-error limit, acceleration limit and output limit, to ensure safe and reliable control
PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) digital filter with velocity and acceleration feed-forward, and with integral limit and bias compensation (for SV card)
Network communication port (Ethernet, Profibus-DP, RS232, RS232/485) (Optional)
User-defined coordinate system for ease of programming
Coordinated motion of 2 axes, linear interpolation, and circular interpolation
Continuous interpolation function
On-board memory buffer to improve communication efficiency
Programmable event interrupt: external input interrupt, even interrupt and time interrupt
On-board EEPROM to update firmware and parameters
Drivers and DLL for Windows98/2000/NT, C and C++ function library
