Features & benefits

  • Allows all system-level motion variables to be captured and displayed later for analysis; captures real-time variables such as encoder position, motor command, position error, and so on into hardware buffers for future retrieval

  • Buffers ensure load, speed, and response time in diagnostic mode are the same as during operational mode

  • Functional trace areas: Trajectory generation, encoder feedback, servocontrol, commutation, motor output, general-purpose input, signal status, and system clock; retrieval of trace data can be via RS-232 serial, RS-485 serial, CANbus communications, or parallel-word communications ports
