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. attoMOTION Piezo-based Nano Drives attoMOTION PAGE 233
