The iXC4e enhanced PWM servo drive with motion controller is the right choice

for your precision machine or system. It begins with superior motion control 

technology. The Automation1-iSMC (configured separately and installed on the

iXC4e) contains technology once reserved for high-end PC-based architectures.

That’s not the only reason the iXC4e is a game-changer. It also contains our XC4e

single-axis PWM digital drive — within the same compact package.

You can also add up to 11 additional axes of control over the HyperWire® fiber

-optic motion bus.

The iSMC controller can connect to, command and control any other Automation1

servo motor drive. The iXC4e and additional servo motor drives can be configured

with I/O expansion boards, giving the iSMC controller the connectivity required to

take full control of your machine or system.

The standard iXC4e accepts square-wave encoder feedback at rates of up to 40

million counts-per-second. Sine-wave encoders can be multiplied by up to 65.536

— producing our highest resolution position feedback — with the optional encoder

multiplier feature. Dual-multiplied encoder feedback is supported. Each single-axis

iXC4e can be configured with the MX2 high-performance single encoder multiplier

or the MX3 high performance dual-loop encoder multiplier, enabling higher levels

of position and velocity control.

Choose from a wide variety of extensions of the base PSO functionality.

Track up to three encoders in real time with three axis PSO or extend PSO’s

functionality to kinematic arrangements with the part-speed PSO feature.

Each drive-based controller has an optional I/O expansion board, significantly

increasing the number of I/O points. This I/O board includes a dedicated PSO

output and a PSO synchronization input, which are often used to synchronize

process control with an external mode-locked frequency.
