The driver output current is chopped limited to safety values to protect the motor, the driver and power supply from shorts and overloads. The MCU accepts parameters from a remote PC through a fast property serial communication link, completely implemented in hardware, and therefore transparent to the software. Up to 64 modules can be daisy chinned to one master interface board on PC or to one master controller serial interface to a PC or PLC serial link. Operates from a single power supply within a wide range of voltages. When this end event is reached the MCU can be programmed to hold the position or to simply stop the motion.
Parameters allow versatile flexibility to accommodate almost any motor-machine acceleration curve.
The 24 bit quadrature encoder circuitry included can be incremented with resolutions of 1,2 or 4 times each encoder cycle. Full feedback is provided to the application software. Finally this module has been design to provide a full solution for perfectly controlled servo closed loop DC-motors based motion, in conjunction with the other modules in its family they provides a full solution for any automation and robotics control system, with better control, less wiring, less noise, very robust, very small, very reliable, and low cost intelligent modules. 5V 20mA max supplied by module. It also allows exercise all options, parameters and motions.
