Features & Description Recommended Drives Technical Specifications   |
Features: • Networks all Applied Motion Stepper or Servo Si™ products for multi-axis motion applications • For real time execution of commands downloaded from a host PC or PLC using Applied Motion's Si Command Language™ (SCL) • Programmable for stand alone single or multi-axis operations with Applied Motion's easy to use SiNet Programmer™ Windows software (software and programming cable included) • Communication via RS232 Description |
Description: The SiNet™ Hub allows up to 8 Stepper or Servo Si™ drives to be controlled in host mode from a single PC or PLC's RS-232 serial port or will run in stand-alone mode. Each indexer-drive acquires its unique address from the port to which it is connected. This simple addressing scheme minimizes the cost of the drives, and more importantly, the cost of configuring and/or replacing drives in your system. Connections are made with low cost, reliable telephone cabling. Any of our popular, cost effective programmable Stepper or Servo Si™ drives or Si™ motor controls can be used with the SiNet™ Hub. By choosing the power level and features you need for each axis of your application, SiNet™ can provide a cost effective single or multi-axis motion solution. The SiNet™ Hub is powered by the drive that's connected to port #1, saving you the cost and installation expense of using a separate power supply. Our Si™ Command Language (SCL) allows a host PC or PLC to execute relative, absolute and homing moves, make status inquires, sample inputs, set outputs, and more. If your application requires a single axes to operate in "host mode", you can connect any of our programmable Si™ drives directly to your PC via the SiNet Hub and invoke the Si™ Command Language (SCL). Our SiNet Programmer™ Windows software allows the user to create and store multi-axis motion control programs in the SiNet™ Hub and run them without a PC. Thus allowing the user to create a complex multi-axis motion system controlled from an operator interface or trigger. |
