The XL2e offers superior performance and a more thoughtful

design than other products on the market. It’s highly integrated

design includes servo and current controllers, linear power

amplifiers, cooling fans and heatsinks in a single package.

High-end component choices for the power amplifier and control

circuits enable more accurate position tracking, more precise

in-position stability and smaller minimum step sizes.

Standard features include safe torque off (STO), a data array with

more than 67 MB of memory, dedicated home and end-of-travel

limit inputs and an enhanced current sense device.

The standard XL2e accepts square-wave and absolute encoder

feedback signals. With the optional encoder multiplier feature, 

you can multiply sine-wave encoders by up to 65.536. Dual-

multiplied and dual-absolute encoder feedback is supported.

The XL2e is more than a motion control device — it also includes

many process control features. Empowered with our PSO functionality,

a single-axis XL2e can track up to three encoders in real time to trigger

a process tool like an industrial laser or camera. Each XL2e can be

configured with an optional I/O expansion board that 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.

KEY FEATURES:

• Provides CLOSED-LOOP SERVO CONTROL of voice-coil & single

-phase motors

• Connects over HyperWire® fiber optic interface

• Features INDUSTRY-LEADING 200 KHZ SERVO LOOP update rate

• Offers CUSTOMIZABLE CURRENT LOOP configurations available to

meet your application requirement

• Includes standard THREE-AXIS POSITION SYNCHRONIZED OUTPUT

(PSO) & THREE-AXIS PART-SPEED PSO

• Follows EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive,is CE approved & NRTL safety

certified

Thanks to an industry-leading servo rate of 200 kHz, the XL4s delivers

better tracking performance and part quality at high speeds in

applications such as fast-tool servos, high-dynamic optical focusing axes

and high-speed pick-and-place machines.

Unlike other fast tool servo controllers, the XL4s can be panel-mounted

in a machine enclosure, resulting in a smaller machine footprint and

requiring less overall floor space.

A multi-core, double-precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID.

System configuration is performed using all software-settable parameters,

including control-loop gains and system safety functions. Optimized to

control single-phase motors or voice-coil axes, the XL4s has an encoder

interpolation feature, dedicated analog and digital I/O, and separate power

connections for motor and control supply voltages.

Superior Control for High-Speed Applications

A high-performance linear amplifier for single-phase motors, the

XL4s digital drive eliminates non-linearities common to PWM

amplifiers. It offers deterministic behavior, auto-identification and

easy software setup. Advanced features—including full state

feed-forward, 200 kHz servo rates and look-ahead-based velocity

control—allow you to achieve industry-leading settling times, long

term thermal stability and sub-micron-level tracking accuracy.

Thanks to an industry-leading servo rate of 200 kHz, you’ll see

better tracking performance and part quality at high speeds in

applications such as fast-tool servos, high-dynamic optical

ocusing axes and high-speed pick-and-place machines.

Superior Performance, Complete Control

The iXL2e’s performance is superior to other linear amplifier products on

the market. In addition, it comes with the full capability of an Aerotech

motion controller. When deployed to an iXL2e drive, the Automation1-iSMC

motion controller can control up to twelve axes of motion over the

Automation1 HyperWire® communication bus. EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP,

Modbus TCP and a Socket interface enable true full machine and motion

system control with this device. All axes are tightly coordinated with other

axes on the network to deliver contoured motion and a single, simple

machine control architecture.

Extend Your I/O

Configure the Automation1-iSMC with the appropriate industrial ethernet

options and connect additional third-party devices, completing your control

architecture – or simply configure the iXL2e with the onboard IO expansion

option.

Lead The Industry

Lead your industry in performance and capabilities when you integrate the

iXL2e into your machine or system design. The iXL2e has a highly integrated

design which includes high-end component choices for the power amplifier

and control circuits. This enables systems built on the iXL2e to achieve the

most accurate position tracking, the highest level of in-position stability and

the smallest minimum step sizes.

Less Noise. More Control.

The Automation1-XL2e combines high-end, low noise linear

power amplifiers with precision servo control technology in

a compact form factor—all without sacrificing our high-end

controller features. With no switching noise or deadtime, it

delivers the higher-precision sensing you need for applications

like eddy current inspection, sensor testing, and high-precision

position and velocity tracking. It’s also ideal for small step size

and in-position stability applications because control to servo

motors can be active 100% of the time.

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.
