Why Choose the IMO XBF-PD02A 2-Axis Positioning Module?

The IMO XBF-PD02A is a high-speed 2-axis positioning expansion module for compatible IMO XGB programmable logic controller systems. Designed for pulse-command motion applications, it provides line-driver outputs for controlling compatible servo drives and other positioning equipment directly from the PLC.

The XBF-PD02A supports position control, speed control, speed-to-position control and position-to-speed control, together with 2-axis linear and circular interpolation. With positioning speeds up to 2,000,000 pps, it is suitable for demanding automated machinery requiring accurate and responsive multi-axis motion.

Each axis provides up to 150 positioning data steps, with absolute and incremental coordinate operation and a wide position address range. Parameters and operation data are stored in flash memory without requiring a backup battery, while dedicated homing, JOG, inching and manual pulse generator functions provide extensive commissioning and machine-control flexibility.

Key Advantages

  • Controls 2 positioning axes from a compatible XGB PLC system.
  • High-speed pulse output of up to 2,000,000 pps.
  • Supports 2-axis linear and circular interpolation.

High-Speed Positioning for Industrial Motion Control

Positioning modules allow a PLC to generate accurately controlled pulse commands for servo and motion systems. The IMO XBF-PD02A provides two line-driver positioning axes with speeds up to 2 Mpps, enabling the PLC to control machine position, speed and coordinated movement without requiring a separate standalone positioning controller.

The module supports both linear and circular 2-axis interpolation, making it suitable for machinery where two axes must operate together along a defined path. Dedicated homing, JOG, inching and MPG functions provide additional flexibility during machine setup and operation, while the external encoder input can be used for manual pulse generator and encoder-based applications.

Typical Applications

  • Servo motor positioning systems.
  • XY positioning tables.
  • Pick-and-place machinery.
  • Packaging and processing equipment.
  • Cutting and indexing machinery.
  • Assembly and production automation.
  • Linear and circular interpolation applications.
  • Conveyor positioning and synchronised motion.
  • Material handling equipment.
  • PLC-based multi-axis motion control.
