IMOTIONCUBE INTELLIGENT FOR BRUSHLESS, BRUSHED, LINEAR OR STEP MOTORS DESCRIPTION The iMOTIONCUBE is a new member of the iPOS family of Technosoft intelligent drives. It is based on a new design concept for high power density drives, offering a very compact and cost effective solution for the control of rotary or linear brushless, DC brush, and step motors of powers up to 1,6kW. Designed to cover low to medium volume applications, the iMOTIONCUBE embeds motion controller, drive, and PLC functionalities into a single unit. When used as an intelligent drive - like all other members of the iPOS family - the iMOTIONCUBE is empowered by the extreme flexibility offered by the TML (Technosoft Motion Language) instruction set.The unit can replace the host in various single or multiaxis stand-alone applications. Advanced positioning profiles like the PVT or electronic caming, I/O and program flow control, data transfer between axes, subroutines, ISRs and multiple homing modes ease the motion application implementation task. In systems that require a host, the iPOS operates as an intelligent slave executing motion sequences triggered via commands received on RS-232 or TMLCAN while fully supporting as well the CiA402 CANopen drive profile. DUAL LOOP Equipped with 2 feedback connectors, the iMOTIONCUBE provides advanced dual-loop control schemes that minimize the transmission backlash negative effects. EASYMOTION STUDIO The configuration, tuning and programming of the iMOTIONCUBE drive is easy with Technosoft’s powerful graphical platform, EasyMotion Studio. FEATURES : • Motion controller and drive in a single compact unit • Universal drive solution for brushless, brushed, linear or step (true closed loop) motors • Advanced motion control capabilities (PVT, S-curve, electronic cam) • Motion programming via TML (Technosoft Motion Language) or motion libraries for Visual C / VB / LabVIEW / Linux and PLC • Standalone operation with stored motion sequences • Drive enable circuit • Communication : - RS-232 serial - CAN-Bus with TMLCAN or CANopen (CiA301, 305, 402) protocols • Digital and analogue I/Os: - 4 digital programmable inputs, 5 - 36 V - 4 digital outputs, 5 - 36 V, 0.5 A - 2 analogue inputs: 12 bit resolution, 0 - 5 V • Feedback devices (dual-loop supported) : 1st Feedback : - Incremental quad encoder (differential ) - Analogue sine/cosine encoder (differential 1Vpp) - Digital Hall sensors 2nd Feedback : Incremental quad encoder ( single ended ) • Programmable protections : - Over-current, over-temperature, short circuit - Over and undervoltage, i2t, control error ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS : Motor power supply: Logic supply : Continuous phase current Peak current (2.4 sec. max.)
