Motion Control Systems
piezo positioning electronics
Highest precision piezo positioning systems require state-of-theart positioning control electronics. attocube’s FPGA-based motion
controllers are adapted to the technical challenges of positioners and
scanners dedicated for cutting-edge applications and experiments.
Suitable models for driving all attoMOTION products either in open
loop or closed loop mode (depending on positioner model) together
with matching software modules are part of the attoCONTROL portfolio.
A sophisticated product design, an easy-to-use remote control via
3Dconnexion’s SpaceNavigator® as well as a large variety of interfaces
and software drivers for all controllers make them the ideal add-on for
all of attocube’s positioners and scanners.
ECC100
The ECC100 is designed for open and closed loop control of Industrial Line positioners,
enabling the simultaneous operation of up to three ECS positioners at any one time. The
ECC100 is PC-connectable via USB and Ethernet (upgrade option “SYNC”) and is delivered
with DLL and LabView drivers for higher integration.
ANC300
The ANC300 is the dedicated open loop piezo positioning controller which enables motion in step
mode as well as in scan mode. It offers a completely modular design with up to seven slots for stepping modules (ANM150), scanning modules ANM200), or combined stepping and scanning modules
(ANM300). The integrated touchscreen provides new ways of manual control. All functionalities are
also accessible via USB 2.0 or Ethernet. LabView™ drivers and a programmable text-based console
are included in the standard ANC300 software package.
ANC350
The ANC350 is attocube’s multi-functional piezo controller which meets the highly demanding dynamic performance and accuracy requirements of multi-axis nanopositioning setups. The ANC350
enables closed loop control of attocube‘s nanopositioners with optoelectronic or resistive encoders. All functionalities are accessible via USB 2.0 or Ethernet. An extensive software support is
provided including a DLL library as well as LabView™ and EPICS drivers.
3D mouse SpaceNavigator®
The 3D mouse SpaceNavigator® (designed and produced by 3Dconnexion) allows for intuitive remote
control of all attocube piezo drives via a specially programmed software interface. A push, pull,
twist or tilt of the SpaceNavigator® is translated into the corresponding movement. Available for
ECC100, ANC300 & ANC350.
