Recognizing
that not everyone wants to panel-mount their amplifiers, Aerotech
also supplies the Npaq , a 3U high, 19" rack-mount chassis capable of powering
six axes of motion while providing unparalleled ease of integration. Foregoing
the complicated wiring and assembly schemes offered by other vendors,
Aerotech has designed the Npaq® to accept simple plug-in digital amplifiers as
well as one-step connections to the Automation 3200 network (via FireWire®)
and third-party Ethernet I/O networks. Already containing 16 opto-isolated
digital I/O, four 16-bit analog inputs, and four 16-bit analog outputs, the addition
of an Ethernet port allows the user to control machines with the networked I/O of
choice. Combine that with the ability to accept linear and PWM drives of varying
power, support onboard encoder multiplication across all axes, and connect to
additional Ndrives® and Npaqs , and you have a powerful solution for all of your
automation needs.
