With the optional encoder multiplier feature, sine-wave encoders can be multiplied by up to 65,536, making iXL5e our highest-resolution position feedback drive. Dual-multiplied and dual-absolute encoder feedback is supported.<\/p>\n<h4>Control Your Process<\/h4>\n<p>The iXL5e is more than a motion control device. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The supported EtherCAT, Modbus TCP and Socket interface enable true full machine and motion system control<\/span>. Empowered with Aerotech\u2019s PSO functionality, a single-axis iXL5e can track up to three encoders in real-time to trigger a process tool like an industrial laser or camera.<\/p>\n<p>Each iXL5e can be configured with an optional I\/O expansion board, greatly increasing the number of I\/O points. The I\/O board includes a dedicated PSO output, and PSO can be used with a synchronization input to synchronize process control with an external mode-locked frequency input.<\/p>\n<h4>Low Noise Operation<\/h4>\n<p>Linear amplifiers are characterized by low noise operation, and the iXL5e is no different. This is because linear amplifiers do not incorporate on-off pulse width modulation (PWM) switching to control motor currents.<\/p>\n<h4>Ready To Connect<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The HyperWire connection makes it simple to connect the iXL5e with other Automation1 drive hardware in a multi-axis configuration. A 24-volt one amp brake output is included. The device is CE approved, NRTL safety certified and EU 2015\/863 RoHS 3 directive certified. The power amplifier bandwidth is software selectable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Excellent In-Position Performance<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to advanced control techniques and feedback signal processing, the iXL5e can control and hold a linear air bearing stage in a standstill position within 0.8 nm RMS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotech.com\/automation1-servo-drives-improve-in-position-stability\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See how Automation1 servo drives improve in-position stability<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The iXL5e is your one-stop shop for high-powered, high-performance precision motion control applications.
