The simple programmable position controller PS340 offers an excellent price-performance ratio, which is particularly interesting for operators of smaller machine systems. An extremely short position control and intelligent calculation algorithms ensure the highest precision in all single-axis applications with electrical or hydraulic 4-Q drives with a ±10 V setpoint input. Further features are a super-smooth run with maximum protection of the mechanics by means of a self-optimizing polynomial movement profile, as well as different operating modes, e.g. for absolute and relative positions (chain dimension) or grinding operation. The analog output also has 4 digital transistor outputs whose switching points can be defined by means of 4 programmable limit values.
