TNC-G01 : Programmable Indexing (Rotary Table) Controller
Single-axis programmable indexing controller for rotary tables, with two opto-isolated inputs and three outputs.
Overview
The TNC-G01 indexes a rotary table through a programmed sequence of positions — the job that would otherwise need an operator counting divisions on a dial.
It is set up through a 20 × 4 character LCD using menus rather than a programming language, which is the right trade for a machine that will be configured once and then run by whoever is on shift.
Two pulse inputs are opto-isolated, keeping their grounds separate from the controller's — the usual source of false counts on a machine sharing a panel with contactors. Three output signals are available for sequencing whatever the index has to coordinate with: a clamp, a cycle start, an end-of-index signal to the host machine.
For a 32-bit controller with the same interface, see the TNC-G00.

Questions
How many positions can be programmed?
The number of index positions is not stated in our product record. Please ask us before ordering if your job needs a particular count.
What is the difference between the TNC-G01 and TNC-G00?
Both share the same 20x4 display, two opto-isolated inputs and three outputs. The G01 uses a 16-bit controller and is described for rotary table indexing; the G00 uses a 32-bit controller and is described as a general programmable motor controller.
Can it drive the table motor directly?
It is a controller, not a drive. It commands a stepper or servo drive, which powers the motor.
