MicroController XC03 was originally designed to fit applications in rolling mills, but it can also be used in any application where high accuracy is needed. All analog signals are bipolar and made with 16 bit resolution to improve control accuracy. Four pulse counters (4.8Mhz) are added interfacing position measurements from a SonyMagnascal sensor or similar.
The unit is programmed in the same way as other MicroController XC units and the softwares are compatible

Installation example

In a Colled Rolling Mill there are normally three MicroController XC03 units with dedicated tasks (Hydraulics, AGC and general automation). Fast data transfer below 10 msec is made with the internal system bus (CAN) with guaranteed data transfer within 0.25 msec. Other data transfer is made using the local ethernet network.
