The A-81x series is a 19-inch rack-mount motion controller designed for PIglide air bearing stages with direct drive, supporting 1, 2, or 4 axes with integrated servo drives and power supplies. It features PWM drives with up to 10 A continuous and 20 A peak output per axis, supports incremental and absolute encoders including sine/cosine, BiSS-C, and EnDat 2.1/2.2, and includes Ethernet TCP/IP and EtherCAT communication. The unit measures 482.6 mm × 453 mm × 89 mm and operates on 120-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, with a 60 V DC output voltage. Cooling is provided by a side-mounted fan, and it includes a 24 V DC sink E-stop input. All models support closed-loop control, on-board flash memory for motion programs, and the ACS SPiiPlusEC controller with EtherCAT master.
The A-81x series of motion controllers from PI offers a completely integrated electronics solution, with controller, drives, and power supplies packaged together in a compact 19-inch rack-mount enclosure. These controllers are designed and optimized to work with the PIglide line of air bearing stages which feature direct drive linear and rotary servo motors and high resolution encoders.
