EZ Control: Setting the Standard for Ease-Of-Use
The MultiCam EZ Control is a stand-alone board system based on the AMD SC520 microprocessor. The use of 64-bit motion profile algorithms using FPGA technology makes our controller excel in high-speed, continuous motion. 5,000 vector/second sustained calculation and execution rate with 1000 line look ahead capacity. All discrete inputs and outputs are optically isolated. Files are received using a high speed direct Ethernet connection via TCP/IP. Files of unlimited size can be executed and started immediately without waiting for the whole job to be loaded (Drip Feed). The controller can interpret HPGL (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language), M & G codes (EIA 274D), and our native (Cito) code internally. All programming is done off line and is accessed via our DNC system. The system has s-curve, circular and cubic spline interpolation. All systems are fully 3 dimensional.
EZ Control Features
The MultiCam EZ Control used on all of our machines gives MultiCam an advantage over the competition and no other system today can offer so many features:
- Accepts both G-Code and HPGL files.
- Keypad interface with hot key control of all major user functions.
- DNC
- Real Time Feedrate Override
- Spindle Speed Control
- Pause
- Return To Home
- Multiple Home Offsets
- Find Home (Return to 0)
- Set Home
- Depth
- Surface (Z=0)
- Cut Speed
- And Many others.
- Automatic Z axis surfacing with max depth function for gouge avoidance.
- All systems support simultaneous motion in 3 Axis.
