Parker: 2-Axis Indexer 6200

Compumotor’s 6200 motion controller is a stand-alone indexer for standard industrial step and direction motor drives. The 6200 can synchronize two axes of motion. Incremental encoder feedback on both axes enables the indexer to detect stalls, verify position, and correct for positioning errors generated by inaccurate mechanical transmissions.

Like all of Compumotor's 6000 Series controllers, the 6200 uses the 6000 Series command language—a powerful command language that is flexible enough to implement complex motion control applications, and simple enough for the novice programmer.

Included with every 6200 is Motion Architect, an intuitive Microsoft® Windows™-based programming tool that includes a Program Editor, a Terminal Emulator, and On-line Help utilities, plus three innovative application development aides:

• A System Configurator that automatically generates fully documented code for application-setup parameters

• A test panel to create custom operator test panels to run programs and check the activity of I/O, motion, system status, etc.

• An On-line Command Reference that provides interactive access to the contents of the 6000 Series Software Reference Guide.

The 6200 can interface with Compumotor's remote operator interface, the RP240 (detailed on page C119). The 6200 programming language allows the user to display text and numeric information on the RP240. Other RP240 features include programmable function keys, numeric data entry, user program selection, LED control, and jogging. A sophisticated operator interface can be easily programmed with just a few commands.
