The iPOS360x SX multi-axis motion system provides a compact, ready-to-run solution for multi-axis applications up to 4 axes. It includes the following main components:
- a main board for mounting the multi-axis motion system
- up to four iPOS360x VX intelligent drives
The main board of the iPOS360x Multi-axis Motion System allows you to plug in up to four iPOS3602 VX or iPOS3604 VX drives and provides all the necessary connectors that each of these drives requires (motor, encoder feedback and I/O signal connectors). All the drives are connected through a CAN-bus link. Two CAN-bus connectors plus an optionally connectable terminal resistor ensure rapid connection to any CAN-bus network configuration. An RS-232 link offers easy access to all drives, for setup and testing, using a standard PC. The main version of the iPOS360x Multi-axis Motion System also includes an Ethernet port and an Ethernet-to-CAN adapter.
