The Parker Acroloop PC-ACRIBM-03 is a 2-axis microprocessor-based motion controller engineered for synchronized multi-dimensional movement in automated systems. It delivers real-time trajectory generation, dual-feedback servo control, and simultaneous execution of motion profiles with ladder logic PLC programs—all independent of host operating system dependencies.
Technical Specifications
• Axes: 1 or 2 axes controlled
• Processor: Microprocessor-based motion control card with 32/64-bit floating-point DSP architecture
• Servo Update Rate: 25 µs/axis
• Trajectory Update Rate: 100–500 µs
• Memory: 1 MB user memory (programs and parameters); Flash firmware
• Encoder Inputs: Up to 10 quadrature encoder signals at 20 MHz counting rate
• Power Supply: 120/240 VAC input; ISA bus interface draws +5V, +/-12V, and Ground from PC

– Key Features
• Advanced trajectory generation supporting linear, circular, sinusoidal, helical, elliptical, spline, and 3D arc interpolation
• NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational Basis Splines) geometry representation
• Backlash and ballscrew compensation with S-curve profiling
• Time-based moves, synchronized master moves, segmented cams, and high-speed triggered cams
• Dual-feedback control (velocity and position) with analog or digital feedback options
• Configurable software limits and torque limits
• True pre-emptive multi-tasking for concurrent motion, logic, and communication execution
• Onboard diagnostics and oscilloscope functionality
• Optional battery backup to protect user programs and parameters
– Typical Applications
Robotics, CNC machinery, and automated manufacturing systems requiring coordinated 2-axis motion control with complex motion profiles and real-time synchronization.
– Compatibility & Integration
The PC-ACRIBM-03 integrates into PC environments via ISA bus interface. The broader Acroloop ACR series supports Ethernet (10/100Base-T), USB 2.0, and optional CANopen DS401 protocol for extended I/O expansion.
