MI-4190 Family of Position Controllers
Description
The
MI Technologies' MI-4190 Family of Position Controllers offers
solutions for nearly every motion control application - from
precision placement and rotation of tools, targets or
instruments in laboratories, test facilities or remote field
locations - to complex, multi-axis positioners and scanners. MI
Technologies offers a broad array of product configurations that
meet the demands for motion control and motion management for
both indoor and outdoor applications.
The easy-to-use, microprocessor-based
controllers combine manual and automatic position control,
position display, and programming functions for up to 16 axes of
motion. In addition, the MI-4190 Position Controllers can
control the motion of any of MI Technologies' and most third
party manufactured positioners.
Software applications provide users with a
wide range of operational features, from simple routines entered
into the functional front panel, to full-scale system
implementations controlled via a host computer system. Optional
hand held local control units may also be used to provide local
operator control at the device being controlled.
Users can operate any of the MI-4190
controllers through the IEEE-488, RS-232C, or Ethernet interface
to a host or network computer. The controller may also be
operated independently through the front panel interface which
provides pushbutton, menu driven management of all motion
control functions. The user interface, either through a host
computer or the front panel, provides the operator with a broad
array of easy-to-understand options and a wide selection of
specific motion attributes for any motion control task.
Operational functions are entered from
easy-to-follow display screens and pull down selection options.
With more than 50 user selections available, motion requirements
are assured. Some of these functions include:
- Status display of up to 8 axes
- Current position
- Command position
- Operational mode
- Fault status
- Activation status
- Velocity
- Operational mode selection
- Local hand held control unit
- Remote and Automation Functions
- Advanced Motion Control Modes
- Coordinated Motion of 2 or more axes
- Geared mode
- Virtual Axis mode
- Axis configuration
- Axis name
- Position units: degrees, millimeters, centimeters,
meters, inches, feet, radians, revolutions
- Position offset
- Limits: forward reverse positions, velocity
torque
- Motion profiles
- Virtual front panel (PC Control)
- Full keyboard, mouse monitor connections
- Master/slave functionality
The MI-4190 Family of Position Controllers is comprised of
four models:
MI-4191
The MI-4191 offers basic motion control of a single axis
motion device. As with all the models, it can be configured for synchro or
encoder feedback, use local control options, interface to a host computer
system and even operate with a personal computer using an optional virtual
control panel. The MI-4191 can be operated in a slave configuration via the
serial interface with another MI-4190 model serving as the master. With the
front panel control, the MI-4191 is an integrated controller and amplifier
capable of full independent functionality and control of single axis motion
control devices.
MI-4192
The Model MI-4192 extends position control capabilities from
one axis as on the MI-4191, to up to eight axes. The standard model MI-4192 can
sequentially drive four fractional horsepower axes and with an additional Power
Amplifier Unit drive up to eight axes. The Control Unit provides all the
functionality of the single axis unit but for multiple axes. All axis switching
functions are provided through user interfaces or software control. With the
additional PAU, the user may operate one axis from each PAU at the same time.
MI-4193
If simultaneous control of multiple axes is required, the
MI-4193 model is the preferred solution. This unit provides all the
functionality of the MI-4191 and MI-4192 and can drive up to four axes
simultaneously. This capability provides the user with unique operational
opportunities to create complex motion profiles. By adding up to 3 additional
PAUs, the MI-4193 can control up to 16 axes of motion.
MI-4195
For the very large position control application, the MI-4195
is the ideal solution. The four axis sequential operation of this model
provides precision control for user requirements of up to five horsepower
drives. This model is very similar in operation to the MI-4192 with the
addition of a higher power output capability. An additional Power Amplifier
Unit may be used to increase capacity from four to eight axes. The additional
power amplifier selection may also include the fractional horsepower PAU typically used with the MI-4192, thus combining the capabilities of both models in one configuration.
