XMP Features / Performance

32-bit floating point SHARC DSP updates up to 8 coordinated axes at speeds up to 10kHz (16 axes at up to 5kHz).
Position feedback from incremental encoders (at count rates up to 40 MHz) and analog scales.
Support for up to 16 axes servos and steppers
16-bit servo output resolution
4 MHz digitally synthesized step output
Shielded high-density connectors
16-bit differential analog inputs
Analog (joystick) jogging
Support for up to 82 lines of dedicated I/O (opto-isolated).
Centralized software tools for drive configuration, tuning, and diagnostics that are in real-time. Motion Console, Motion Scope, and VM3.
The use of PID or PIV control algorithms for each axis.
Optional scale interpolation module (SIM4) for submicron position accuracy.
Position Capture - The XMP can capture the exact position of one or more axes whenever a specified trigger occurs. This feature is useful for homing, probing, wafer centering, wafer mapping, and coordinate measurement applications.
Position Compare - The XMP includes comparison hardware to generate position of one or more axes. This feature us useful for triggering devices such as imaging subsystems.
On-the-fly trajectory modification
On-board settling
On-board sinusoidal commutation
2D compensation tables
