• Status indication: LED (green) per counter/ initiator input
• 2 input channels for incremental encoders
• Encoder power supply directly from the module via the connectors
• Inputs can be synchronised
• Monitoring of all supply voltages
• Period measurement with 42 ns resolution
• Differential measurement (phase shift between C1 and C3 or C2 and C4) with 42 ns resolution

Especially designed for sophisticated motion control applications, the ISI222 module offers compact equipment and optimum precision. Equipped for the total control of two motion axes, the module features a number of encoder interfaces for position acquisition, analog outputs for the application of manipulated variables, as well as digital inputs for the initiator or trigger. Furthermore, due to the central communication concept, all I /Os of the remaining M1 system can also be incorporated into the motion control (limit switches, etc.). Input frequencies up to 8 MHz and the integrated synchronization (IO-Bus-Sync) with the total system allow highly dynamic and precise movements.

Beside the full compatibility to the well proven controller modules M-SMC, M-CNC and M-SHAFT, also the user own programs and individually designed control tasks can utilize the extensive integrated functions of the module simply via the known standard interfaces (SVI, MIO). The extensive integrated error monitoring with ongoing checking of the encoder resolution identifies hard-to-see wiring or ESD problems and allows the application especially under difficult environmental conditions.

• 2 input channels for incremental and SSI encoders
• Full 32 bit counter
• 2 analog outputs (14 bit)
• 4 fast digital input channels for initiator and trigger
• Position measurement / position storage can be initiated via triggers
• Virtual for use in applications: zero pulse, speed, etc.
• Synchronisation via SYNC/PreSYNC
• Encoder supply via module
• Monitoring of the encoder voltage
• Wire break monitoring (encoder)

The modules PVA204 and PVA208 enable the direct control of proportional valves without an amplifier using a single solenoid, bipolar or dual solenoids. Up to 4 solenoids can be connected to the compact PVA204 module, and 8 solenoids on the PV208, thus up to 8 unipolar valves with a width of 55 mm. The current-regulated control means that the self heating or temperature increases of the valve solenoids do not affect the position of the valve. Up to 20 support points are provided for correcting the characteristic curve of each solenoid, thus ensuring very precise linearization.

Besides the fully configurable dither function, ramps of 0.1 to 15 s can be set. The ramp setting range allowed during commissioning can be configured in the SolutionCenter, thus preventing possible damage to the plant resulting from incorrect entries. Most parameters (characteristic curve, dither parameter etc.) can be configured directly via an application program or via the SolutionCenter or online via a web configurator. Configuration can thus be completed quickly and simply for all tasks, such as for commissioning, teleservice, adaptive adjustments or valve exchanges during servicing. The valve configurations can be stored as templates so that different valves that were preconfigured can be used in a plant.

The following features are provided depending on type:

• Proportional valves with unidirectional, bidirectional or dual solenoids
• PVA204: 4 solenoids, PVA208: 8 solenoids
• Current-regulated control
• Characteristic curve correction, overlap and underlap correction
• Adjustable dither and ramp
• Configuration via application program SolutionCenter and web configurator
