3-2 FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
SB1391 Hardware and Setup Guide - Document revision no. 1.14
3.1.2. Special Features for Demanding Applications
3.1.2.1. Master/Slave
This mode is characterized by its following accuracy, superimposed move capability, ability to
switch “on-the-fly” from slave mode to velocity mode and vice versa through comprehensive
software support. This feature has proven itself in challenging applications such as industrial
flying shears, coil winding, multi-color printing and high-accuracy scanning and plotting.
3.1.2.2. Registration
This feature allows the destination position of the axis to be changed on-the-fly based on the
position of an external sensor captured during a move. Registration has a variety of uses including
labeling and high-speed printing. The ‘Search-For-Contact’ registration mode is specifically
designed for pick and place applications, such as wire bonding, die attachment and SMD
assembly.
3.1.2.3. Position Event Generator (PEG)
The PEG function generates real time, position-triggered output to activate external events based
on position. It has a position compare accuracy of ±1 count at up to 5 million counts/second, and
is designed for such demanding applications as high accuracy laser cutting and automatic optical
inspection (AOI) and scanning systems.
3.1.3. Universal Digital Drives
• 5A to 15A continuous (10A to 30A peak), up to 370Vdc
• Software configurable for AC servo (AC synchronous), DC brush and AC induction motors
• High performance digital current control
• State of the art 20kHz PWM power bridge with optimized current ripple and efficiency
• Sinusoidal commutation with automatic setup for three-phase motors
3.1.4. Outstanding Performance and Capabilities
• Fully digital position, velocity, and current control at 20kHz sampling rate, for excellent
dynamic and tracking performance
• Special built-in features and support for AC servo (AC synchronous) linear motor
applications
• Dual loop capability supports two encoders, one mounted on the motor and one on the load,
for accurate belt-driven and lead-screw based applications
