Feedback Flexibility

The standard XL5e accepts square-wave and absolute encoder 

feedback signals. With the optional encoder multiplier feature,

sine-wave encoders can be multiplied by up to 65.536. making 

XL5e our highest-resolution position feedback drive.

Dual-multiplied and dual-absolute encoder feedback is supported.

Control Your Process

The XL5e is more than a motion control device. It also includes 

many process control features. Empowered with Aerotech’s PSO

functionality, a single-axis XL5e can track up to three encoders

in real time to trigger a process tool like an industrial laser or

camera.

Each XL5e can be configured with an optional I/O expansion board,

greatly increasing the number of I/O points. The I/O board includes

a dedicated PSO output, and PSO can be used with a synchronization

input to synchronize process control with an external mode-locked

frequency input.

Low Noise Operation

Linear amplifiers are characterized by low noise operation, and the

XL5e is no different. This is because linear amplifiers do not incorporate

on-off pulse width modulation (PWM) switching to control motor currents.
