Interface Overview

• ■Analog voltage (0 to 10V)
  • Input analog voltage 0 to +10V to the input terminal for positioning.
  • [0 to +10V] corresponds to [0 to max. stroke μm] of the stage and operates synchronously with the voltage value.
  • When operating multiple axes, analog voltage must be input for the number of axes. (Selection guidelines)
  • For continuous scanning operation (analog operation), such as sinusoidal wave or triangular wave.
  • For fast processing speed of command signals without A/D or D/A conversion.
• ■Serial (RS232C)
  • It is easy to use by connecting it to the serial port of a PC.
  • Multiple axes can be controlled and managed with a single interface.
  • Sample software (distributed free of charge) allows immediate operation without programming. (Selection guidelines)
  • For use in point-to-point, static positioning.
  • A wide variety of commands, monitor commands, etc. make it easy to manage the operating status of the stage.
• ■ Parallel Interface
  • 16-bit binary signals allow control via high-speed communication.
  • Digital signals are less susceptible to ambient electrical noise. (Note) Can only be mounted on single-axis dedicated controllers (NCS), not applicable to multi-axis controllers (NCM).
• ■ USB / LAN
  • Commands can be sent and received as character strings to read position commands and current values, and to set I/O triggers. (Note) This is only available for the digital circuit controller (NCS8142C) and is not applicable to the analog circuit controller (6000 7000 series).
• ■ Pulse Input
  • This is useful when the command from the device side is a pulse signal method.
  • When a pulse voltage is input to pin number 21 of the I/O pin, it counts [+1], and when a pulse voltage is input to pin number 23, it counts [-1].
  • [0 count] moves to the zero position and [1048575 count] moves to the full stroke position. (Note) This is only available for the digital circuit controller (NCS8142C) and is not applicable to the analog circuit controller (6000 7000 series).
