XPL-230-36-HL by Copley Controls

The Copley Controls XPL-230-36-HL is a high-performance digital loop module in the XENUS Digital Loop Modules series, designed for precise motion control in demanding industrial automation environments. Operating on a wide voltage range of 100–240 Vac and delivering a 36 Adc peak current with a continuous capability of 12 Adc, it provides robust power handling for servo and stepper motor applications. Featuring a flexible CANopen interface and support for Profile Position and Homing control modes, the XPL-230-36-HL excels in accurate positioning and repeatable motion tasks.

The XPL-230-36-HL offers an extensive suite of technical specifications tailored for advanced automation systems. It supports multiple feedback options, including incremental, absolute, and resolver signals, ensuring high-resolution position data. Command interfaces include CANopen, ASCII, discrete I/O, and stepper commands, while an ±10 Vdc analog input with 16-bit resolution permits smooth velocity and torque profiling. Six current-sinking MOSFET digital outputs enable reliable control of external devices. The module accepts a PWM input frequency from 1 kHz to 100 kHz and provides a ±5 Vdc output for auxiliary sensors.

Engineered for industrial durability, the XPL-230-36-HL requires a heat sink or forced air cooling to maintain optimal thermal performance under a maximum mains current (1 phase) of 20 Arms. Weighing 3.0 lb (1.36 kg) without heatsinks, and measuring 7.92 × 5.51 × 2.31 in (201.2 × 139.9 × 58.7 mm), it integrates easily into compact control cabinets. These features, combined with versatile feedback and control capabilities, make the XPL-230-36-HL an efficient, reliable choice for industrial motion control, improving system responsiveness and productivity.
