Copley Motion Explorer 9.0 expands design flexibility for advanced motion control systems

CME is the central software environment for configuring, tuning and commissioning Copley Controls servo and stepper drives. With version 9.0, support has been extended to the latest generation of High Power Nano amplifiers, integrated servo drives and advanced encoder technologies.

Support for the High Power Nano series

One of the key enhancements in CME 9.0 is support for the new High Power Nano amplifiers. These compact drives combine high power density with a small footprint, making them particularly suitable for applications where performance and space efficiency are equally important.

The software supports, among others:

• High Power Nano Standard NES-HP and NPS-HP amplifiers

• High Power Nano Plus NEP-HP and NPP-HP amplifiers

• IPS CAN Integrated Servo Drive

Thanks to this integration, engineers can configure and commission new drives more quickly within the same familiar CME environment.

Expanded capabilities for absolute position feedback

In addition to supporting new drives, CME 9.0 introduces enhanced functionality for feedback technologies. The software now supports several new absolute encoder options for FPGA-based products.

New features in this release include:

• Support for 64-bit SSI encoders

• Compatibility with Panasonic Absolute A linear encoders

• Support for Trio (Reagles) Absolute A motor encoders

For machine builders, this provides greater freedom when selecting high-performance feedback systems for applications where positioning accuracy, reliability and repeatability are essential.

Greater design flexibility for complex motion applications

The expanded support for both drives and encoders makes CME 9.0 particularly valuable for designers of advanced motion control systems in industries such as machine building, robotics, packaging machinery, assembly systems and high-tech automation.

By bringing new hardware platforms and feedback technologies together within a single software environment, CME 9.0 simplifies the engineering process and reduces the time between design, commissioning and production.
