ZYGO ZMI-2002 Controller Product Introduction

The ZYGO ZMI-2002 Controller is a high-performance, dual-axis 6U VME measurement board designed for precision motion control and interferometric measurement applications in industrial automation, scientific research, and advanced manufacturing.

Key Features

1. Dual-Axis Measurement Capability
   • Integrates two independent interferometric measurement axes on a single 6U VME board, reducing backplane slot requirements and simplifying system integration.
2. High-Speed Programmable Interfaces
   • Supports full programming via VME or ISA interface buses, as well as a simplified P2 interface for seamless connection to servo cards or motor controllers.
   • Standard hardware interface with 7.7 MHz P2 data rate, scalable for up to 16 axes with identical performance.
3. High-Precision Measurement
   • Achieves sub-nanometer-level resolution (average roughness <2 nm, maximum <5 nm) with a cutting slope <1.5°, making it ideal for high-precision optical and laser applications.
   • Advanced error detection for signal, PLL, DLL, and power supply stability, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.
4. Flexible Communication Protocols
   • Includes RS232, RS485, and CAN bus interfaces for multi-device networking:
     • RS232: Supports up to 8 devices in a network.
     • RS485: Enables 32-device collaborative operation.
     • CAN bus: Scalable for 110-device systems.
   • Compliant with MODBUS and CANopen protocols for industrial automation.
5. Robust I/O and Power Management
   • Equipped with 8 optically isolated digital inputs, 3 optically isolated digital outputs, and 1 analog input for versatile signal handling.
   • Power requirements: +5V ±5% @ 3.5A (standard), with optional +12V ±10% @ 0.1A for auxiliary components.
6. Standalone and Host-Compatible Operation
   • Supports standalone mode via MotionStudio programming, allowing external I/O triggers and output signal generation.
   • Provides MotionLib dynamic libraries and command sets for host-based application development.
7. High-Speed Data Acquisition
   • 36-bit position and 32-bit velocity formats with 25-nanosecond time resolution and a 107.4-second time range, enabling real-time tracking of rapid dynamic events.
