iXC4e/XC4e Overview

The iXC4e is a high-performance digital drive-based controller. It runs the Automation1-iSMC controller to generate commands for itself as well as for additional drives on the chain.

The XC4e is a high performance digital drive. The XC4e is based on the HyperWire communication protocol and receives commands from a PC or drive-based controller.

Both drives provide deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and are fully software configurable. A double precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID and current loops. Both drives offer standard Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs and optional Position Synchronized Output (PSO) outputs. And both drives are offered with optional encoder interpolation features (-MX2/-MX3), an auxiliary encoder input for dual loop control, dedicated analog and digital I/O (expandable with the -EB1 option), and separate power connections for motor and control supply voltages.
