NEW MCP-1200 IC

  • MCP-1200 Advanced Capabilities

    • It has plug-in compatibility with the Avago HCTL-1100 IC with added advanced capabilities. It easily upgrades your current designs and improves reliability. You control which advanced features you want to take advantage of by register configuration. It also remains compatible to HCTL-1100 registers. The MCP-1200 corrects internal problems inherent in the old HCTL-1100 chip.

  • HCTL-1100 Legacy Products

    • The HCTL-1100 has been a motion control workhorse for many years. Mektronix legacy products support these applications with compatible ICs, motion control boards and application software. Contact our technical sales team for support of your legacy products.

Board Level Products

  • MCP-04 Motion Control Board

    • This 4-axis motion control board provides enough I/O to control a typical machine tool. The Exerciser software and C Interface Library and DLL will get your system up in running quickly.

  • P-CNC System Development

    • Convert your spare PC into a fully functional CNC controller using our P-CNC System Development Package. The software interface is easy to use and interprets standard G-code programming.

Why is the MCP-1200 better than the HCTL-1100? 10X FASTER!
#
Key Improved Features
What it Means to the User
1
 Extended DAC output to 12 bits Better control of motor response vs. 8 bits
2
 Encoder 3-stage filter, adjustable clock input, and swap Ch A and Ch B inputs Glitch free digital filter and ability to correct connection problems w/o rewiring
3
 Improved ESD protection > 2kV HBM HCTL-1100 has broken ESD protection
4
 Profiles upgraded to include S-Curve Smoother profiles with less jerk
5
 Adj. DAC saturation foldback limit Protects motor from over current
6
 Resolution and range of velocity registers extended to 24 bits Accurate velocity control, increased smoothness over HCTL-1100 8-bit resolution

New Features
What it Means to the User
1
 Programmable Breakpoint location w/ absolute and relative modes Can output a pulse when a selected location is reached or a pulse every 'x' counts
2
 Stepper motor mode with optional encoder feedback Can detect motor stalls and driver faults
3
 Adjustable DAC offset Automatically corrects system offsets
4
 Deadband and position error registers Eliminates chatter on the system
5
 Hardware built-in automatic backlash compensation Backlash errors are corrected when position moves switch direction
6
 PID filter w/ programmable gains, integral limit and differential span Provides stability of servo system using advanced PID algorithm with feedforward terms
7
 Exception handler provides feedback to host controller Allows errors and programmed events to be handled correctly
