ASY-CONT-300-8 Series Motion Controller

ASY-CONT-300-8 Series Motion Controller

ASY-CONT-300-8 is a motion controller capable of displaying up to 8 axes and is specially designed to control up to 127 axes when grouped into different configurations in a typical antenna or RCS measurement system for accurate antenna and RCS measurements.

The ASY-CONT family of controllers form the core of a distributed control system, where each positioner has its own drive. ASYSOL controllers provide flexibility and support for a variety of motors and position feedback systems. Depending on the requirements, servo, stepper, DC, AC or linear motors of any power level may be used. A variety of incremental and absolute encoders as well as dual loop control are supported.

Remote system diagnostics are supported online and by Ethernet connection.

Full control can be obtained using the front panel, a PC, laptop or tablet.

Options:

  • Simultaneous movement of two or more axes
  • Correction tables can be included to improve the positioning accuracy of axes
