Chapter 4: eMotionBlox-40/60R
4.1 Introduction
The eMotionBlox-40/60R (eMB-40/60R) is a distributed servo controller and amplifier. It is
designed with a dedicated digital signal processor to communicate, coordinate, and execute
servo commands. It is the platform on which the eV+ operating system runs.
NOTE: The eMB-40/60R has in previous manuals been referred to as both an
eMB-60R and an eMB-40R. They are, in fact, the same exact component.
The eMB-40/60R consists of:
l
a distributed servo amplifier
l
a RISC processor for servo loop control
l
a node on the IEEE 1394 network
l
a power controller that uses single-phase AC power, 200-240 Volts
l
a status panel with 2-digit alpha-numeric display to show operating status and fault
codes
