XCR General-Purpose Interface Board

XCR is an ultra-compact interface board offering interface and connectivity for almost all the features embedded in either Capitan NET or Everest S NET. Despite of its small size it’s rated to the full power of the Everest S, and gets the drive ready-to-use by including the required electronics for EtherCAT and CANopen communications, IOs, all compatible feedbacks, and many others.

FOR

EVEREST, EVEREST S & CAPITAN (NET)

  • Ultra-small footprint
  • 72 VDC, 45 A continuous
  • EtherCAT & CANopen ready
  • Halls, Quadrature encoder, SSI and Dual BiSS-C encoders
  • Electromechanical brake dedicated output
  • STO dedicated redundant inputs (SIL3 Ple certifiable)
  • 4x Digital outputs, 4x Digital inputs, and 1x differential analog input
  • Smart & industrial servomotors
  • Mobile robots
  • Robot joints
  • Robotic exoskeletons

29 mm x 42 mm x 11.35 mm

Dual axis interface board for Capitan NET. Its main purpose is to move the drive from the joints, the densest elements in a collaborative robot, to the robot links, a component typically underutilized. With this, the integration complexity of the robot could be reduced while keeping the advantages of Capitan NET as a motion controller.
