Festo controls provides modular axis controllers [type spc-2001]. This modular axis controllers also known as smart positioning controllers. Modular axis controllers developed on the basis of high-speed dsp and a memory without backup battery. Applications:control of pneumatic and electromechanical axes with stepping motors, as well as peripheries. The modular axis controllers can drive up to 4 axes. This offers an inexpensive means of controlling an axis mix, le. A system with the optimum technology for each individual function but with just one controller. Pneumatic or electrical axes of spindle or toothed-belt type can be selected from the modular positioning system. Via decentral function i/os pneumatic drives for gripper, linear and swivel motions can be integrated into a positioning system along with the sensors. The modular axis controllers are easy to operate and program with their attachable control unit, or via convenient winpisa software, which is used for editing programs in the nc language. The main advantage of winpisa is convenient project archiving, simple start-up and quick program testing with graphic support, as well as time saving system diagnosis.
