IONI device model comparison
The main difference between IONI and IONI Pro is that Pro model will get more advanced functions as downloadable upgrades.
- Available exclusive IONI Pro features
- SinCos 1 Vp-p encoder support
- Motor torque cogging & ripple compensation
- Notch filter for advanced vibration damping
- Power consumption limit (useful with switch mode power supplies)
- Homing function and soft travel limits that work in all control modes, not just position control mode
- Torque mode effects: damping, friction and inertia (useful in simulator applications)
- SimuCUBE simulator motherboard support
- Serial encoder support
- The planned IONI Pro features are
- Support for EtherCAT field bus (through separate EtherCAT to SimpleMotion V2 bridge device)
- True dual-loop feedback position control
The planned features are implemented as user downlodable firmware. Firmware upgrades are free.
