Motion Controllers Pack Diagnostics And Fail-Safe Operation

The SPiiPlus and MC4U Series motion control modules feature program default response mechanisms that are customizable to detect over-positioning (position error), over current, and over velocity to automatically trigger a kill command of the machine’s movement. Also, they integrate a dedicated, real-time operating system that guarantees deterministic fail-safe operation of the controller. For medical applications, they include hardware-based positioning comparison for triggering imaging devices based on a patient’s position. Typical applications include X-ray, CT-scan, MRI, and nuclear imaging. ACS MOTION CONTROL, Plymouth, MN. (800) 545-2980.
