Productivity Motion Components

Several products are available and are easily integrated with Productivity CPUs to add motion control to any Productivity system.

• PS-AMC motion controllers provide 1, 2, 3, or 4 axes of precise motion control designed specifically to work in conjunction with Productivity PLCs. Up to 1 MHz pulse-train command signals and up to 16 independent axes of control or four groups of coordinated motion with four axes each (one AMC controller per each Productivity1000 CPU) is possible with these controllers.
• HSI/HSO modules are a great option for basic motion control applications. HSI modules accept pulse/direction and quadrature signals on each of two independent input channels. HSO modules support pulse/direction, step up/step down and quadrature pulse outputs on each of two independent output channels.
• High-speed counter modules are capable of handling input pulse frequencies up to 100 kHz. Easily count and/or calculate pulse rates from dedicated inputs or encoder signals that are used in many applications including package tracking and picking systems.
• Pulse width modulation modules are also offered and provide up to four channels of sinking or sourcing 0-20 kHz, 0-100% duty cycle outputs.
