Nyden Corporation Introduces its New CMS-100 CosmoNet High-Speed Motion Controller

The Gold Standard for Designing the Most Critical Stepper Motor-Related Application with Optimal Simplicity.

San Jose, CA-Escalating to a higher elevation on the micro-processing controller forefront, Nyden Corporation (a subsidiary of Mycom, Inc.) today announced the availability of its newly designed CMS-100 CosmoNet, an advanced single-axis Stepper Motor Controller that is expected to become a revolutionary development to the Motion Control Industry in 2006. By providing engineers and scientists worldwide with optimal high-speed micro-processing capability from a fully integrated USB 2.0 logic controller, the latest plug-and-play system from Nyden offers straightforward, time-efficient controlling action. Its main duty is to program and employ local network connectivity between user PC and the motor-control system. Setup and design of a slew of automation ranging from semiconductor-related equipment to CNC-type systems, from critical medical/labroom-type machinery to various material handling apparatus, are easily accomplished without performance-abandonment.

The standalone CMS-100 CosmoNet provides optimal EEP-ROM chip and transmittal program memories, and is able to execute the most difficult profile commands (such as Point-to-Point, Trapezoidal and Triangular movements) with optimal smoothness and time-efficiency. Furthermore, in the hands of even the most novice designer, the controller, with its incorporated USB technology, offers optimal throughput in program operation with the usage of intuitive commands and Basic programming. This leads to a vast simplification of controller functions, and allows programming motion sequences/profiles at an isochronous level to be carried out without multiple external hardware installations or the need to constantly "hookup" wires or "plug-in" program cards.

Nyden's CMS-100 CosmoNet controller enables engineers to reap the benefits of operating a best-in-class control system that is also smartly-priced for even the most budget-conscious company. Its architecture is designed to be modular for external device linking, compatible with most existing program functions, and compliant with all industry-standard NEMA-sized Step Motors of 2-Phase and 5-Phase types. Programming is easily achieved when the user sends commands to the host computer. No external power supply is required for the CMS-100, which is also extremely lightweight and compact: 535 grams and a millimeter sizing of 35 (W) x 126 (D) x 165(H).

Additional command features include External Start and Communication. External Start functions consist of: Homing, Positioning (Absolute/Relative), Scanning, Jog, Deceleration, Deceleration Stop, Emergency Stop, Parameter Write, Parameter Read, Status Read and Alarm Release. The controller's program capacity offers a moving data system, with the EEP-ROM writing time of 10５. The Moving Distance Setting Pulse and the Moving Command Setting Range are -2147483648. A mechanical sensor within the system offers a Forward/Reverse Overrun and a Home selection. The CMS-100 also consists of 12 Inputs and 2 Outputs, which serves as the controller's main I/O offering. Some of these I/O features include Photo-Coupler Isolation, Error Output (EER), Internal Power Source, Deceleration Signals and Position Specified Signals.
