DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CLCI2000 Series Indexer is one of ANAHEIM AUTOMATION's Computer Indexer that generates clock and direction signals for a step motor drivers. This Indexer allows the user to control speed, ramping, position, and I/O to perform complex motion with step motors. The CLCI2000 Series can control from 1 to 4 axes, using only one computer slot found in an IBM Compatible Computer. The Indexer was designed to produce pulse rates far above those offered by most indexers. To run today's microstep drivers, faster pulse rates are needed. The 2.5MHz provided by this indexer will step a 200 step/rev motor with a divisor of 256 at nearly 50 rps (or almost 3000 RPM). Since the Indexer is controlled by a computer, very complex programs can be written to control the motion. This power is not available in other units.

The Computer Indexer contains up to 10 TTL inputs, and 10 Open Collector Outputs. It also has Limit Switch inputs including ±Soft Limits, ±Home Limits, ±Hard Limits. Along with the inputs are Encoder Inputs, Channel A,B, and Z. The 1 and 2 axis boards bring out their signals on a 37 pin D-Sub connecter. The 3 and 4 axes units use 2, 37 pin D-Sub connectors. A ribbon cable and mounting bracket is provided for the second connector.
