“Feature-rich, easy to use, digital integration”, in the era of intelligent manufacturing, users have put forward higher requirements for industrial controller products.

Delta universal controller AS100 series, a new member of the AS family, inherits the advantages of strong operation and control functions and rich network functions. With the new programming software, a single CPU host can meet all the functional requirements of OEM devices up to 64 points.

Powerful motion control

Like its peers, the AS100 has powerful computing and real-time multiprocessing capabilities that allow it to build a high-performance controller core.

With Delta’s exclusive CANopen control function, 8 servo drives and 8 Delta inverters can be controlled for quick positioning with a simple command.
It can support 12 high-speed pulse output, and support pulse-based electronic CAM, two-axis interpolation and other functions, which can meet a variety of operation and control needs.
Flexible network system

In the setting of network communication system, the AS100 supports a variety of mainstream network communication protocols, which can meet customers’ requirements such as on-site control and data collection.

Built-in Ethernet port, support Modbus, CANopen, Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, IO-Link and other industrial Ethernet and fieldbus communication protocols.
It can be matched with industrial network products, structure the Internet of Things system, and communicate with the upper computer to open the digital channel to help users upgrade and transform equipment.
New programming environment

AS100 series application integration development and programming software DIADesigner as a development tool, can significantly improve the development efficiency and shorten the development cycle.

Support IEC61131-3 programming specification, editing environment friendly, easy to use.
Support standard PLCopen standard motion control language, variable sharing, library management, built-in dedicated function blocks, to provide convenience for efficient shaft control design.
Application scenario 1: Packaging equipment

Based on the market’s demand for the packaging form and diversified materials of goods, the packaging process needs to be more in tune with the front-end production process, and the cooperation of multiple stations requires the control system of packaging equipment to have more powerful shaft control capabilities.

The AS100’s powerful axon-positioning control capability, pulse-based electronic CAM function, etc., is highly suited to the further needs of multi-axis control of packaging machines, and the diversity of communication can better assist packaging equipment to achieve collaborative production.

Application scenario 2: Engineering project

In the engineering implementation, a variety of field instruments have high requirements for the communication ability of the control system, and the controller with multi-communication port and multi-communication protocol is more favored.

The AS100 supports multiple communication protocols and is configured with multiple communication ports, so it has advantages in data interaction. At the same time, the data exchange of the product uses the table configuration, which can eliminate the need for additional steps to write programs, achieve more convenient data exchange, help the project to configure quickly, save time and cycle.

Application scenario 3: Woodworking equipment

Based on the high precision requirements for wood processing, new woodworking processing equipment often uses multi-axis control devices, which can achieve more accurate processing positioning, increase production accuracy, and speed up processing efficiency.

AS100 supports a variety of Ethernet protocols, can easily communicate with the host computer, powerful axis control capability and host with multi-IO port, can easily achieve the needs of woodworking equipment multi-axis control, multi-IO, help customers to achieve cost optimization.

Application scenario 4 – Food processing equipment

The diversity of people’s needs for food taste and nutrition has spawned the complexity of food processing technology, and the control logic points of various food processing equipment have become more and more, and more input/output modules are also required.

The functional design of AS100 is fully in line with the characteristics of the development of food processing equipment, multi-axis control capability, multi-IO port host and compatible with all expansion modules of AS, which can meet the needs of complex food processing processes. At the same time, using DIADesigner as a project development tool can also achieve rapid development and shorten the design cycle.
