IMC
integrated motion controller
With the IMC from attocube, the integration of nanodrives into your
own control system was never easier. With just one power source of 12 V,
30 W needed, it offers simultaneous operation of up to three closed-loop
axes with NUM-encoder and output voltages up to 130 V.
Modes of Operation
open loop positioning
The IMC offers diverse trigger in- and outputs to control piezosteppers
in multiple ways and set coordinates directly (closed-loop) via A-quad-B
interface. The IMC accepts (LV-)TTL as well as differential input signals.
It also features a webinterface and can be controlled via JSON commands,
a DLL or LabView. As a development kit it comes with the necessary heat
sink, power supply and additional service included.
