ACR8020 (1-16) Axes PCI/CPCI Bus Motion Controller

The ACR8020 is Acroloop Motion Control Systems' newest and most feature-packed controller ever for PCI, CPCI PC Bus operation. It has the ability to run 8 Servo Loops (16 with expansion board) DAC or Stepper Outputs and 10 Encoders (20 with expansion board) at 20MHz counting rate. It can also be equipped with 8 Analog (16 with expansion board) inputs with 12 or 16 bit resolution. Multi-axis coordination can be performed in multiple groups of Axes. Because of our modular design, it is possible to have several axes of servo mixed with stepper outputs on the same controller. All of the Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ controllers are software compatible so that the standard features and benefits apply to the ACR8020.

ACR8010 (1-8 Axes) ISA Bus /
Standalone Motion Controller

The ACR8010 is Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ newest and most feature-packed controller for ISA PC Bus Operation. The ACR8010 is capable of Standalone or PC-Bus operation. It has the ability to run up to eight servo loops, with up to 10 encoders at 20MHz. It can optionally be equipped with 8 analog inputs through a 12 or 16 bit analog/digital converter and introduce these inputs into servo loops. It is possible to have a Virtual Axis be the Master to multi-axis coordinated motion. Because of our modular design to our outputs, it is possible to have several axis of servo with several axis of stepper on the same controller. Of course all of Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ controllers run on the same software and firmware, so the standard features and benefits apply to the ACR8010 as well. The ACR8010 is Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ answer to affordable high performance control when flexibility, real-time speed, and ease of programming are most needed.

ACR2000 (1-4 Axes) ISA Bus /
Standalone Motion Controller:

The ACR2000 is
capable of Standalone or PC-bus
operation. It has the ability to run up to four servo
loops, with up to 4 encoders at 20MHz. It can optionally
be equipped with 8 analog inputs through a 12-bit analog/digital
converter and introduce these inputs into servo loops. Because
of our modular design to our outputs, it is possible to have
four axis of servo or four axis of stepper on the same controller.
The ACR2000 controller, like the ACR8010, uses a SIMM card
for analog outputs or stepper outputs and can be purchased as 2 or 4
axis. Of course, all of Acroloop’s systems run on the same software
and firmware, so the standard features and benefits apply to the ACR2000
as well.
The ACR2000 is
Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ answer to four axis
or less affordable high performance control, when flexibility in the field,
real-time speed, and ease of programming are most needed.
ACR2000 Exclusives:
50 MHz Floating
Point DSP.
4 Axes of Servo or Stepper.
Up to 4 Encoders at 20 MHz.
128K User/System Memory Expandable to 1/2 Megs each.
32 Optically Isolated 24Volt DC I/O Expandable to 288 I/O.
Half Size ISA Size.
Up to four Communication Channels. (ISA, COM1, COM2, LPT).
Optional RS232/RS485 and AcroWire IEEE-1394 Interface.

ACR1500 (4 Axes) ISA Bus Motion Controller

The ACR1500 is Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ new OEM 4-axis PC-Bus based controller. The ACR1500 is a PC-bus based card only and offers no serial or LPT ports as an option. It has the ability to run up to four servo loops with up to 4 encoders at 20MHz. It can optionally be equipped with 8 analog inputs through a 12 or 16 bit analog/digital converter, and introduce these inputs into the servoloop. Because of our modular design to our outputs, it is possible to have two axis of servo with two axis of stepper on the same controller or all of one type. Unlike the Acroloop family of controllers the ACR1500 utilizes a 16-bit bus, therefore, reducing cost dramatically. Until the ACR1500, this level of control had been typically double the price! Of course, all of Acroloop’s systems run on the same software and firmware, so the standard features and benefits apply to the ACR1500 as well.
The ACR1500 is
Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ answer to affordable high
performance control when low cost, real-time speed, and ease of
programming are most needed.
ACR1500 Exclusives:
40 MHz Floating
Point DSP.
4 Axes of Servo or Stepper.
Up to 4 Encoders at 20 MHz.
128K User/System Memory.
48 TTL I/O with Industry Standard Opto22, 50 Pin Connector.
Low Cost 16-bit Bus.

ACR1200 (1-2 Axes) Standalone
Motion Controller

The ACR1200 is Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ new OEM 2-axis standalone controller. The ACR1200 is a standalone controller card only and offers no PC port as an option. The ACR1200 comes standard with two serial ports, either RS-232 or RS-422. It has the ability to run up to two servo loops with up to 3 encoders at 20MHz. It can optionally be equipped with 8 analog inputs through a 12 or 16 bit analog/digital converter and introduce these inputs into the servoloop. Because of our modular design to our outputs, it is possible to have one axis of servo with one axis of stepper on the same controller, or all of one type. Until the ACR1200, this level of control at our price had not been available. Of course, all of Acroloop’s systems run on the same software and firmware, so the standard features and benefits apply to the ACR1200 as well.
The ACR1200 is
Acroloop Motion Control Systems’ answer to affordable high
performance standalone control, when low cost, real-time speed, and ease of
programming are most needed.
