ETEL P2M-300-07/15A Accuret Modular Position Controller
The ETEL P2M-300-07/15A is a member of the Accuret Modular 300 series, a highly scalable position controller platform designed for demanding multi-axis motion control. This particular configuration offers a continuous current of 7 Arms and a peak current of 15 Arms per axis, providing a balanced solution for a wide range of industrial applications. The modular architecture allows users to start with a basic configuration and expand with additional power stages, I/O, and communication modules as system requirements grow.
At its core, the Accuret Modular 300 integrates a powerful real-time processor that handles complex trajectory generation, closed-loop control, and network communication simultaneously. It supports up to 8 axes of motion, with advanced synchronization features such as electronic gearing and cam profiling. The controller is designed to work seamlessly with ETEL’s linear and rotary motors, as well as third-party servos, providing a flexible and future-proof solution for machine builders.
Key Features
Scalable Architecture: Expandable via plug-in modules for axes, I/O, and fieldbus interfaces.
