MAXv2 Motion Controllers

The OMS Motion Inc. MAXv2 motion controllers form a family of high performance VME bus-based products and are in compliance with the universal 6U VME/VME64 Bus Specification ISO/IEC 15776 (2001 E).  The MAXv2 is the replacement for the legacy MAXv motion controller and is a drop-in replacement. The MAXv2 motion controller can manage up to 8 axes of open-loop stepper, closed-loop stepper or servo systems, in any combination at the user’s option, as incremental or absolute encoder feedback can be provided on each axis.  The OMS MAXv2 controller synchronizes all independent or coordinated motion of up to 8 axes, while incorporating other critical signals, such as hard or soft limits, home, and other digital and/or analog I/O signals, to provide the motion solutions to perform virtually any task.  With high level functionality, such as additional two encoder inputs, circular and linear interpolation, multi-tasking, custom profiling, backlash compensation, etc., the MAXv2 can satisfy the needs of most any motion control application.  

 

The MAXv2 communicates as a “slave only” device and functions as a motion co-processor to the host on the VME bus.  It utilizes patented proprietary technology to control the trajectory profile, acceleration, velocity, deceleration, and direction of selected axes.  In response to commands from the host computer, the MAXv2 controller will calculate the optimum velocity profile to reach the desired destination in the minimum time, while conforming to the programmed acceleration and velocity parameters.  In addition, the MAXv2 can provide motion control information such as axis and encoder positions as well as the state of over travel limit inputs, home switch inputs, and done flags.  The MAXv2 motion controllers utilize an OMS custom VME and Bridge, enabling an efficient and rapid data transferring between the on-board microcontroller and the VME host.
