Motion Controller Kit, Closed Loop, Two-Axis Picomotor Driver, 8743-CL

The 8743-CL-2-KIT Two-Axis Closed-Loop Picomotor™ Controller/Driver Module Kit has everything you need to get started quickly. We've bundled our closed-loop Picomotor controller/driver and accessories together to provide a simple-to-use 2-axis driver kit. Just plug in the included power supply and you're ready to go. The kit includes the following components: 1x Model 8743-CL module and software, 1x Model 8745-PS power supply, and 1x Model 8745_USB-CBL USB cable.

2-Axis Closed-Loop Control

The 8743-CL controller/driver features two actuator output ports and two encoder signal ports for controlling up to two Closed-Loop Picomotor actuators. Each 8743-CL controller/driver can drive one of its two ports at any given time.

LabVIEW™ and Windows DLL Support

For greater flexibility and to program the controllers yourself, Window DLL and sample LabVIEW™ VIs are included.

Daisy-Chain Up to 31 Controllers

You can daisy-chain up to 31 controllers together with four channels each, so you can have a network of up to 124 standard Picomotor actuators. The 8745-PWR-CBL and 8745-RS485-CBL cables are used to daisy-chain power and communication, creating a network of Picomotor controllers. This allows you to connect one master controller to your PC and be able to communicate with the entire stack. Note that one power supply is required for every three controllers.

Integrated Controller and Driver Design

The 8743-CL is a single-box solution that provides both control of Closed-Loop Picomotor actuators as well as drives the actuators. For plug-and-play use without need for computer control, you can use the 8758 hand control pad. This image shows recommended compatible products for this controller.

USB and Ethernet Connectivity

The model 8743-CL controller/driver has two computer interface ports: USB-Device and Ethernet. This makes connecting and communicating with a host PC very simple. This controller also features an embedded HTTP server which generates a dynamic web page to accept command line input and show immediate response.
