Feedback Features

Each axis on the XI4 includes encoder feedback inputs so that you can

control axis position very accurately. This input accepts incremental

square-wave and absolute (optional) feedback devices.

The dedicated axis feedback signals include encoder feedback

(sine +/-, cosine +/- & marker inputs), 2x end of travel (EOT) limit switch

inputs and amplifier enable and fault I/O. A dedicated digital I/O port

supports 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs (sourcing or sinking),

1 differential high-speed input and a dedicated high-speed PSO output.

Platform Power

More than just hardware, the XI4 gives you access to the complete power

of the Automation1 motion control platform. This includes the Automation1

motion development kit (MDK), the intelligent software-based controller

(iSMC) and the powerful AeroScript™ programming language with

integrated RS-274 G and M code support. The Automation1 iSMC can also

be programmed by various controller APIs, which provide flexible methods

of integrating the XI4 and the axes it controls into your system architecture.
