UltimET Overview - ETEL Innovative motion control

UltimET Overview
For many decades, ETEL has focused on the development of highend position controllers together with all the associated elements to
ensure that they can communicate in a high performance network.
axes required. UltimET is a key element of the ETEL Motion Control
product range and already has a proven worldwide track record for
its unique performance in areas such as:
To achieve the best possible synergy between multiple motion axes,
ETEL developed the proprietary TransnET communication bus and its
master, the motion controller called UltimET light. This provides a
fast, reliable, real-time communication as well as high performance
level between all AccurET controllers regardless of the number of

Interpolation and control of several motion axes with complex motion
constraints is not an easy task. With UltimET light, ETEL provides
a simple way to maximize the performance of complex machines
without the need for detailed management of timing considerations.
Time deterministic communication between all controllers ensures
repeatable and stable performance as well as flexibility in machine
designs integrating up to 63 axes.
UltimET manages the gigabit based fieldbus TransnET ensuring
real-time command management, nanosecond synchronization
and interpolation of axes for elaborate motion profiles. High-level
features support the tuning of advanced motion systems without
the need to work at the level of the individual axes.
Features such as 3D mapping can be easily managed using UltimET
to provide the required precision at the machine tool point whatever
the mechanical arrangement of the axes. For gantry systems, a
Gantry Acceleration Feedforward over TransnET can be used to
anticipate the motor forces according to the tool point position.
This feature significantly increases machine throughput thanks to a
dramatic reduction in settling times.

To fit with all types of machine control architecture, UltimET is
available in hardware formats such as PCI, PCIe (PCI Express) and
embedded TCP/IP. Both PCI versions are designed for installation in
a PC and are especially suited to high speed applications requiring
real-time deterministic communication. The embedded version is
designed for installation in the AccurET position controller and is
recommended for standalone machines that do not require realtime communication with the machine control PC.
