The IBC-400 intelligent motor controller is a complete indexing "subsystem" packaged in compact (1.7 x 0.8 x 3.9 in.) protective enclosure. With a powerful command set of more than 40 instructions, it is designed as a low-cost, high-performance alternative for motion control. The IBC-400 has full duplex, RS422 party line communication for a high degree of reliability in noisy environments. Up to 32 devices can be connected to a single COM port. Commands from a host computer execute as they are sent or can be stored in non-volatile memory where pulsing the GO input triggers operation. The unit can be used with any step or servo motor driver that accepts step and direction input. Speeds are up to 60,00 SPS. Go, stop, home, limit A/B, and multiple user I/O are standard. Optional analog input allows joystick control of the motor for manual positioning. For OEM designs, single chip microprocessors are also available.
