INFO-4KP 94161 INDELAG Position Control

Description 

The INFO-4KP is the field bus node for high-precision and very fast positioning and control tasks. The board incorporates four complete, independent channels. The positioning board is a pure peripheral board, i.e. the control algorithms requiring much computing power are performed by the firmware in the INFOMaster. The firmware also performs the conversion of increments into degrees, meters or mm and ensures reference travels accurate to one increment.The board is suitable for controlling servo controllers, frequency converters or for reading handwheels. On board is a DC/DC converter for resolvers and proximity switches.

Key Feature

Board power supply For the board power supply, a 3-phase rectifier without electrolytic capacitor is sufficient. But to avoid malfunctions, a electrolytic capacitor of 4700 ... 10,000µF is recommended. The 24V power supply must pass through a line filter.

Encoder power supply The DC/DC converter on the board also provides the +5V power supply to the encoder . This eliminates the need for a special supply for these encoder .  As a zero pulse generator, proximity switches can be used, which are also supplied from the board with 15V.

Application

Robotics and Automation: Controlling the precise movements of robot arms, manipulators, and automated assembly lines, enabling complex tasks like pick-and-place operations, welding, and painting.

CNC Machining: Driving the multiple axes of CNC milling machines, lathes, and routers to accurately shape and cut materials based on programmed instructions, ensuring high precision and repeatability.

Packaging Machinery: Coordinating the motion of various components in packaging equipment, such as filling heads, sealing mechanisms, and conveyor systems, to achieve synchronized and efficient packaging processes.
