TG-540
Networked, Servo/Stepper Trajectory Generator
The TG-540 is a full featured motion and I/O module that provides velocity and position trajectory commands to digital servo and stepper drives. It offers the benefits of scalability (one axis at a time), easy distribution, flexibility to select the optimal motor and I/O technology in any combination without software ramification, and ultra-smooth double-jerk-limited move profiles.
The TG-540 sends digital trajectories instead of analog torque commands to provide superior noise immunity and allow OEMs to capitalize on modern drive technology. The TG-540 is extensible per axis, so you won’t waste money on unused axes or risk running out of axes if design requirements change. Each TG-540 has a DSP on each device, so performance will not degrade as the number of axes increase. And perhaps most importantly for OEMs who desire a broad range of options, the TG-540 does not require an interface protocol. It natively interfaces to virtually any digital drive or I/O device from any manufacturer, so OEMs are not limited by the availability of components with dedicated protocols.
The TG-540 is compatible with ControlPoint - Teknic’s distributed, open-architecture machine control system. ControlPoint offers OEM machine designers a wide array of control components to allow interconnectivity to nearly any digital or analog sensor, stepper, digital servo, brushless servomotor, and other machine control devices.
