General description:
    This is a versatile System constituted by many MODULAR BLOCKS in order to full-fill almost any application, the easiest to handle way.

    The applications fields are:
  • Industry automation.
  • Robotics.
  • Automatic machines.
  • Large automated warehouses.
  • Any PC or PLC controlled motion system.

  •     Each module consist of a special communication system, completely implemented in hardware and transparent to the user. This communication system allows interconnecting up to 64 slave modules to one master control interface (e.g. 30 steppers, 12 servo, 5 I/O modules, etc. to one PC/PLC control). The interconnecting bus, called HCB (Hardware Communication Bus), is a 3 pairs shielded cable (in noisy environments)(1). See block diagram.
        This implementation gives the system designer the freedom to allocate each module near its target (e.g. motor, sensor, encoder, etc.) achieving the shortest and simplest wiring (2).
        The state-of-the-art technology used together with our in-deep knowledge allow us to develop this modules, including in each one almost any desirable function, implemented in hardware, and consequently, performed on-the-fly with a practical zero time delay from request to finalization (3). All of this with very low costs, since all of this is performed within a single chip. Also the highest reliability is achieved, with the current, power, voltage and temperature monitored, limited and controlled.

        The family of modules includes so far:
  • GLOSTP/M/H/V/W  :   0.1 to 12 Amp/Phase intelligent drivers with MCU.
  • GLOSDC/M/H/V/W :   0.1 to 25 Amp servo intelligent drivers with MCU.
  • GLOSIO                    :   General digital and analog I/O intelligent module.
  • GLOSIF/PI                :   ISA/PCI master control boards.
  • GLOSRP                   :   Serial RS232 I/F master control module.
  • The Distributed control system concept.
    Notes:
         (1) This is a super reliable bus link, specially developed for the rouged and noisy environment typically found in motion applications, where high voltages and currents, can induct high level noise.
         (2) For comparison, an old fashion control system will concentrate all the control in one "main box" (where the µcontroller is) and all the wires must come and go from this box_
         (3) Long ago we discover a µcontroller is not fast enough to perform in fast optimized control systems, the two technologies acceptable are DSPs or big ASICs components, the last technology is the better only with the appropriated development tools, we develop.
