E1701A is an analogue scanner card which can be extended
by options
described by below and provides following features:
- 16 bit analogue interface to scanhead with X and Y channel, ±5V and ±10V output
- 3x 12 bit additional analogue outputs, 0..5V output
- ILDA-capable interface
- USB 2.0 and 100 Mbit Ethernet connection
- Online XY grid correction with support for several correction table file formats (like BeamConstruct HD .bco correction files, SCAPS™ .ucf, Scanlab™ .ctb and .ct5, Raylase™ .gcd, GSI/CTI™ .xml, Sunny™ .txt)
- Switching between up to 16 grid correction tables during marking process
- 10 microseconds vector cycle time and resolution (microstep period)
- Command execution time down to 0,5 microseconds
- Realtime processing of laser and scanner signals
- 26 bit internal resolution (for better quality also with 16 bit hardware output)
- Can control nearly every laser type (this may require extension boards as described
below) - 512 MByte DDR3 RAM
- 1 GHz CPU clock
- Support for Micro-SD and Micro-SDHC cards with up to 32 GByte disk space for stand-alone operations
- Internal command and vector data list with more than 17 million entries
- Continuous list concept, no need to swap between buffers
- BeamConstruct PRO license included
- Open source compatibility library that emulates existing programming interface for
fast and easy usage with existing software (contains e.g. Scanlab™ RTC4™, SCAPS™ USC™/SCI and other compatible interfaces) - Very small size of about 87 mm x 55 mm
- Shipped with easy to use connection kit
- Hardware/firmware is quality made in EU/Germany
LP8 Extension Board requires E1701A baseboard as described above
and provides additional signals for controlling lasers and external
equipment.
It offers following features and functions:
- LP8 8 bit CMOS level parallel digital output e.g. for controlling laser power
- LP8 latch CMOS level digital output for usage with IPG™ and compatible laser types
- Master Oscillator CMOS level digital output for usage with IPG™ and compatible laser
types - 8 bit 0..5V analogue output e.g. for controlling laser power
- Two laser CMOS level digital outputs for usage with YAG, CO2, IPG™ and compatible
laser types (outputs can provide PWM frequency, Q-Switch, FPK-pulse, continuously running frequency, stand-by frequency), running with frequencies up to 20 MHz - Hardware is quality made in EU
Digi I/O Extension Board requires a baseboard as described above
and provides additional I/Os for controlling external equipment. It offers
following features and functions:
- 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs can be switched to opto-insulated mode with
external power supply of up to 24 V - 2 inputs can be used for 90 degree phase-shifted encoder signal for marking on-the-fly applications
- Inputs can be used to select one of up to 256 stand-alone marking jobs stored on microSD card of baseboard
- Hardware is quality made in EU
The optional E1701base Mounting Kit allows faster and easier mechanical installation of all types of E1701 controller boards:
- Comes with DIN rail clamps which can be installed in 2 different positions combined with 2 different orientations resulting in 4 different mounting variants
- E1701 can be mounted on top of E1701base with distance bolts or hex-stands using premanufactured mounting holes
- Can be used also without DIN rail clamps for custom mounting in machines and as top-cover for E1701
