3.6 Suitable Controllers
The V-551 must be connected to a suitable controller. The following controller from PI is
suitable for operating the V-551:
Controller Description
C-891.130300 PIMag® motion controller for magnetic direct drives, 1 axis, 24/48 V,
5 A, USB and RS-232 interface
PC software is included in the scope of delivery of the controllers from PI. The operation of the
controllers is described in the corresponding user manuals.
3.7 Technical Features
3.7.1 Linear Encoder
The V-551 is equipped with an optical linear encoder. For the resolution, refer to the table in
the "Specifications" section (p. 47).
Optical linear encoders measure the actual position directly (direct metrology). Therefore,
errors occurring in the drivetrain such as nonlinearity, backlash or elastic deformation, cannot
influence the measurement of the position.
3.7.2 Reference Point Switch
The V-551 has an optical reference point switch (see "Reference Switch Specifications" (p. 49)).
See the controller user manual and/or associated software manuals for the commands that
make use of the reference point signal.
Page 15
3 Product Description
V-551 Linear Stage MP160E Version: 1.1.1 11
3.7.3 Limit Switches
The V-551 is equipped with noncontact, Hall-effect limit switches.
Each limit switch sends an overrun signal on a dedicated line to the controller. The controller
then stops the motion. If the controller does not stop the motion in time, the stage runs into
the hard stop.
See "Limit Switch Specifications" (p. 49) for more information.
3.7.4 PIMag® Magnetic Direct Drive
The V-551 is equipped with a PIMag® ironless magnetic direct drive for high velocity and
acceleration. The drive allows a high position resolution with long travel ranges due to its sinecommutated drive.
Magnetic direct drives have advantages when compared to classical spindle-based solutions,
especially with respect to wear and dynamics. Because they use as few mechanical components
as possible, there is less friction and backlash and therefore more precision and a longer
lifetime.

38 Version: 1.1.1 MP160E V-551 Linear Stage
NOTICE
Damage due to high velocity and traveling to the hard stop with maximum force!
High velocities and traveling to the hard stop with maximum force can cause damage, strong
heat development, or considerable wear on the mechanical system.
Stop the motion immediately if a controller malfunction occurs.
Ensure that the end of the travel range is approached at low velocity.
Set the control signal so that the moving part does not stop abruptly or try to continue
motion at the end of the travel range.
Determine the maximum velocity for your application.
Set suitable soft limits for closed-loop operation on the controller.
NOTICE
Damage to the V-551 and the load due to oscillation
The optimum values of the servo control parameters of the controller depend on the
application and the moved mass. Unsuitable servo control parameter settings of the controller
can cause the V-551 to oscillate. Oscillation can damage the V-551 and/or the load affixed to it.
If the V-551 is oscillating (unusual operating noise), immediately switch off the servo mode
for the axis on the controller or switch off the controller.
Only switch on the servo mode for the axis on the controller after you have modified the
servo control parameter settings; see the manual of the controller.
