The number of analog inputs depends on the model of the motion controller used.

List of compatible devices:

Device

ADC count

Controller PLCM-E3 + Expansion Board PLCM-B1-G21
Controller PX12

Technical specifications and wiring diagrams for ADC inputs are available in the user manuals for controllers and expansion boards.

A list of available functions that can be associated with ADC inputs:

  1. Feed Rate Override, %.
  2. Rapid Rate Override, %.
  3. Spindle Speed Override, %.
  4. Jog Speed Override, %.
  5. THC voltage, V.

This list can be expanded.

These PUMOTIX software features are required:

  1. Analog inputs support.
  2. Background operations.

Below is an example of a background operation for controlling the FRO and SSO via two ADC inputs.

Default software functions to ADC input number mapping:
