ACUTROL® iMPACT™

Industrial Multi-Axis Digital Motion Control System
Available exclusively with our iMPULSE™ rate tables, the new iMPACT™ controller brings the ACUTROL® series into the Industrial“Internet-of-Things” / “Industry 4.0” era. The leading motion control system for high precision single and multi-axis inertial guidance,electro-optic test systems and stabilized platforms now comes with industrial grade components and modelgenerated software.
The iMPACT™ controller offers a robust, modular and flexible control architecture. It is compatible with the well-established andtime-tested ACUTROL® Control Language (ACL).
Industrial• Industrial interconnected EtherCAT modules for flexibility andreliability• Payload Wizard for ease of servo compensation• Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS)• Industrial security monitoring systems• Remote access to simulator via Local (LAN) or Wide (WAN)
Area Network• In-application support (offline help)
Modular Packages• Controller features can be scaled according to user needs.
Expert level features include:• State of the art, embedded Data Logger• Integrated temperature chamber controller• Optional touch screen display
Performance• Compensation of deterministic cogging and position errors
resulting in high position accuracy and smooth rate
performance• EtherCAT: High speed and low jitter Ethernet-based real-timefieldbus system• Synchronous axis control• Motion profile previsualisation

ACUTROL® Heritage• Compatible with the ACUTROL® Control Language (ACL)• Intuitive Windows 10 GUI with user-friendly access to menus,
operator inputs, control and security features• Asynchronous control in remote operation• Adaptable servo topology, including freely configurable digital
filters allowing customized control strategies to match theapplication• System optimization for different payloads• Look-up tables for error correction
Customization• Tabs can be configured, organized and optimized according tothe user experience• Customizable analog inputs and outputs• Software examples for developers (LabVIEW, C++ and Matlab)
Technology• EtherCAT communication digitalizes the transmission of signals,
making the system more robust and easier to maintain• Software based on LabVIEW and Simulink guarantees stability,
quality and expandability
