NYT3X-AP Series Drive/Controllers
NYT3X-AP Series Drive/Controllers
Product Description

 The NYT3X-AP is a full-featured, din rail mounted, three axis machine and motion controller.  The unit operates stand-alone or in a distributed environment hosted by a PC (running National Instruments LabView, Visual Basic or C++) or a Programmable Controller.   Standard communication interfaces include RS232, RS485 and CAN.  The control features an ATMEGA64 microcontroller with an integrated flash memory for firmware and program storage.  The NYT3X-AP is a flexible and powerful machine control that can be used in lab & factory automation applications using a powerful, easy-to-use NYT-AP Windows utility or in high performance OEM applications using the NYT-AP utility in conjunction with OEM specific embedded applications.
The NYT3X-AP hosts a plug-in, three axis /16 microstepping drive / motion controller and an optional plug-in, three axis encoder feedback module.   

Product Features

    • 8 outputs, 5-V or 24-V compatible
    • Optional single ended or differential quadrature encoder input for each axis
  • Single power supply (12-24 V)
  • Current capability:  1.1A rms / 1.5A peak  

What makes the NYT3X-AP with Nymotion Application Support a better approach for your next Lab Automation or OEM application?

  • The NYT3X-AP architecture, specifications and application support allow quick application development.  In today's market, what is the cost of "time"?   Do you want a 2 – 3 axis machine control application running in six weeks or six months?
  • Architecture.  PC or PLC based motion controllers with external stepper drives or servo amplifiers,  motors with integrated drive/controllers and the NYT3X-AP distributed architecture have unique advantages and trade-offs.   Contact Nymotion for guidance and support on this critical subject.  In general:
    • High volume multiaxis OEM applications.  Prototype with the NYT3X-AP using off-the-shelf hardware and easily modified NYT-AP software.   As the designs and software firm up, switch to fully custom OEM layouts with the optimal mix of I/O and OEM harnessing.   
    • Low to medium volume OEM applications.  Prototype and use off-the-shelf NYT3X-AP hardware and NYT-AP software.  Nymotion offers turn-key custom programming using a data base of existing multiaxis machine and motion control code.
    • Lab/Factory Automation Applications.  Implement a complete solution using off-the-shelft NYT3X-AP hardware and easily modified NYT-AP software.   The existing library of Motion Db and NYT-AP wellplate processing code is easily used in customer developed National Instruments LabView, VB or C++ applications.  Nymotion offers turn-key custom programming using a data base of existing multiaxis machine and motion control code.

Specifications.  Application sizing and performance are critical path items.  As Nymotion builds positioning slides and turn-key multiaxis positioning systems for dispensing, well plate imaging and general purpose inspection applications we use a variety of HaydonKerk actuators and off-the-shelf servo motors.  Using our own hardware and software with off-the-shelf motors and actuators has a profound impact on quality, reliability and the sizing and performance learning curve.
