The SPiiPlus-LF motion controller features extensions to provide up to 64 axes of control using a CANopen network.
The SPiiPlus-LF is PLCopen-compliant and, in addition to the ACSPL+ motion programming language, it can also be programmed in any of the five IEC 61131-3 standard PLC languages. The controller is said to provide fast, accurate motion using a high sampling rate of 20kHz on all axes. It uses distributed multiprocessor architecture and can be board mounted or mounted on a DIN rail. It can be used with various drive types, such as piezo ceramic, direct drive rotary, linear motors, voice coils and low EMI linear amplifiers.
