Drive Control

694 454 16

This extremely compact drive controller is the general-purpose solution for both, stepper motors and brushless DC motors. Magnetic field-orientated vector control and encoder feedback plus sine wave commutation ensure highly dynamic. Thus, very efficient, smooth and balanced operation at low running noise - particularly when it comes to driving stepper motors. Step errors are corrected along the path already and the load angle error is eliminated within a single full step. Owing to continuous motor current monitoring, the control unit supplies just as much power as necessary, thus making the system very energy-efficient. In order to reduce the certification efforts the module already has an UL-certification for the US and the Canadian market (cULus).

Operating modes:

  • Interpolation (cyclic synchronous position mode)
  • Homing Mode
  • Positioning mode (absolute / relative)
  • Speed mode, Torque mode
