Introduction

This chapter describes the 6250's basic functions & features.

6250 Description

The Compumotor 6250 is a stand-alone, two-axis servo controller. The 6250 provides

sophisticated two-axis control of any standard ±10V analog input servo drive system.

The 6250 implements a dual processor approach, comprising a microprocessor for executing

high-level motion programs and a digital signal processor (DSP) for high-speed, sophisticated

servo control. This dual processor approach allows commands to be executed faster.

Using the 6000 Series Programming Language, you can program the 6250 via a PC or a

dumb terminal. User programs are stored in the 6250's battery-backed RAM.

The 6250 also provides operator interface capabilities when used with the Compumotor

RP240 Front Panel.

The 6250 comes standard with support software for the Microsoft

Windows™ and DOS

operating environments:

❏ Motion Architect

is an innovative, easy-to-use Microsoft

Windows™ based programming

aide to help you easily create and implement complex motion programs. The Servo Tuner

option, a special add-on module sold separately, allows you to visually gather data and tune

your controller/drive system. For more information, refer to the

Motion Architect User

Guide.

❏ The 6000 DOS Support Disk contains a DOS-based program editor and terminal emulator package.

Also included are sample 6000 Command Language programs.
