GT-800 Series Motion Controller
The GT-800 series motion controller is an 8-axis controller which provides more control axes and functionalities than the GT-400 series. Providing high-performance and flexibility, the GT-800 is applicable to the control of multiple-axis equipment such as PCB drilling and milling machines.
Features
Adopt high-performance DSP and FPGA technology
Each card can control 8 servo/step motors
Sampling period is programmable. The minimum interpolation period of eight axes is 400µs. The minimum control period of single-axis motion is 25 µs
Motion mode: point-to-point motion, linear interpolation, circular interpolation, velocity control, manual pulse generator interface, and electrical gear. Programmable T-curve planning and S-curve planning. On-the-fly update motion control parameters
All the position and parameter registers are of 32 bits
Hardware capture 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 filters with velocity and acceleration feed-forward, and integral limit and output bias compensation.
