Control Your Process

The iXL5e is more than a motion control device. The supported EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP,

Modbus TCP and Socket interface enable true full machine and motion system control.

Empowered with Aerotech’s PSO functionality, a single-axis iXL5e can track up to three

encoders in real-time to trigger a process tool like an industrial laser or camera.

Each iXL5e 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 iXL5e is no different.

This is because linear amplifiers do not incorporate on-off pulse width modulation (PWM)

switching to control motor currents.

Ready To Connect

The HyperWire connection makes it simple to connect the iXL5e with other Automation1

drive hardware in a multi-axis configuration. A 24-volt one amp brake output is included.

The device is CE approved, NRTL safety certified and EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive certified.

The power amplifier bandwidth is software selectable.

Excellent In-Position Performance

Thanks to advanced control techniques and feedback signal processing, the iXL5e can

control and hold a linear air bearing stage in a standstill position within 0.8 nm RMS.
