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 Carrier Board for Robot Links
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.

FOR
CAPITAN NET
- 60 VDC, 10 A continuous
- EtherCAT ready
- Dual simultaneous absolute encoder
- Electromechanical brake dedicated outputs
- Motor temperature sensor dedicated inputs
- STO redundant dedicated inputs
- Power supply, EtherCAT and STO daisy-chain connections on-board
- Logic supply on-board
- Collaborative robots
140 mm x 38 mm x 24.1 (including Capitan NET modules)
