1.1. Overview of the UNIDEX 511 System
The UNIDEX 511 (or U511) system is a stand-alone multiaxis motion controller (refer to
Figure 1-1). The U511 controller contains up to four integral amplifiers and all the
circuitry necessary to interface with up to four positioning stages. The UNIDEX 511
contains 48 digital I/O lines, two serial ports, an IEEE-488 parallel port, joystick
interface, and the ability to support ISA expansion boards. A Windows-compatible
utility program is shipped with each UNIDEX 511 system. It communicates with the
U511 through one of the RS-232 ports and allows the user to perform software updates,
run diagnostics, edit parameters, transfer files, and graphically tune and observe motion
performance. The U511 also contains a flash memory-based, read/write hard drive. All
parameters and user programs are stored here. A typical system is illustrated in
Figure 1-2.
