PT-25-FB RS-485 COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEAVY DUTY PAN & TILT

Product catalog summary
Overview: The PT-25-FB RS-485 is a computer-controlled heavy-duty pan and tilt unit designed for remote orientation of camera systems, acoustic equipment, antennas, and other instrumentation. It features RS-485/RS-232 control for advanced features and control options, including real-time position feedback, variable rotation speed, and braking.
Specifications: The unit provides 45 lb-ft (61 N-m) of output torque on each axis and can accommodate payloads up to 100 lbs (45 kg). It includes a DC brushless stepper motor with low backlash harmonic gearing, allowing for stalling without damage. The unit is available in air-filled or oil-filled versions for different environmental applications.
Control and Networking: The RS-485/RS-232 control allows for precision control and configuration through the ROS positioner GUI or custom software integration. Features include absolute position moves, adjustable user limits, and networkability of multiple units. RS-485 offers advantages over RS-232, such as longer communication distances and networking capabilities.
Environmental and Mechanical Features: The unit is designed for harsh environments, with air-filled units suitable for shallow water and above-water applications, and oil-filled units for deep water up to 3,000 meters. It operates in temperatures from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) and features rugged construction with stainless steel and anodized aluminum materials.
Performance: The PT-25-FB offers a variable rotation speed of 0.5 to 10 degrees per second, with a scan range of 12 to 348 degrees on the pan axis and +/- 90 degrees on the tilt axis. It includes safety mechanisms such as slip/stall detection and supports various acceleration settings.
Connectivity and Power: The unit requires only four wires for operation (two for power, two for communication) and supports multiple baud rates for communication. It can be controlled via an external joystick and is compatible with RS-232 to RS-485 converters.

PT-25-FB RS-485 PT-25-FB RS-485 COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEAVY DUTY PAN & TILT COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEAVY DUTY PAN & TILT Rugged pan and tilt unit with RS-485 / RS-232 computer control to remotely orient camera systems, acoustic equipment, antennas, and other instrumentation The PT-25-FB RS-485 pan and tilt provides 45 lb-ft (61 N-m) of output torque on each axis. Heavy-duty ball bearings supporting the output shaft allow it to accommodate heavy payloads up to 100 lbs (45 kg). Each axis includes a DC brushless stepper motor coupled to very low backlash harmonic gearing. It is designed to allow stalling of the output shafts without damage to the gears, the motors, or control electronics.

The RS-485/RS-232 control enables the pan and tilts to be highly configurable and precision controllable. By using either the ROS positioner GUI (graphical user interface) or the ROS communication protocol for custom software integration, you have access to features such as: absolute position moves, variable rotation speed, real-time position feedback, variable braking, adjustable user limits, as well as networkability of multiple ROS pan and tilts sharing the same cable. A total of only four wires (two for power; two for communication) are needed to operate the RS-485/RS-232 pan and tilts. Using RS-485 control provides several advantages over RS-232. RS-485 allows communications over longer lengths of cable (1000 feet) and enables the ability for networking multiple nodes. A typical computer has the capability of RS-232 communication through its serial COM ports. Inexpensive devices are readily available for converting RS-232 to RS-485, USB to RS-485, or Ethernet to RS-485. The unit may also be controlled by an external joystick. The PT-25-FB RS-485 pan and tilt is available in two versions: air-filled or oil-filled. Oil filled units are used for deep water applications up to 3,000 meters depth. Air-filled units are used for shallow water applications up to 30 meters depth and are excellent for above water applications where rain, humidity, and dust are issues. 5618 Copley Drive : : San Diego, CA 92111 USA : : Tel (858) 565-8500 : : Fax (858) 565-8808 : : www.rosys.com : : [email protected]
