A powerful front-end software package is supplied with the drive and permits straightforward, rapid configuration and tuning. When used with Parker servo motors, only the motor type number is required for full configuration. ViX intelligent drives incorporate a powerful controller using Parker’s wellproven EASI command language. As well as carrying out all basic motion control functions, the controller performs more advanced operations such as external encoder following and registration moves. All necessary configuration is performed by software. In addition to an RS232C interface which is included in the standard drive, an optional factory-installed fieldbus module allows for both CANopen and RS485 communication. The base version of the drive can be controlled by step-direction signals in addition to an analog velocity or torque demand. ViX forms part of a new, fully-integrated system of motion control components which includes digital servo and stepper drives, power supplies, operator panels
and extension I/Os. These components complement Parker’s range of mechanical positioning systems which includes precision tables, electric cylinders and linear actuators.
