iPOS2401 MX-CAT Intelligent Servo Drive Miniaturized Motion Controller For Brushless And Step Micro-Motors Specifically designed for high performance positioning applications where space is critical, the iPOS2401 represents a universal control solution for a complete category of micro motors that usually do not require more than 1A continuous even in dynamic regimes. Brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper or linear motors can be controlled by the Technosoft micro-drive that supports incremental TTL encoder and digital Halls as position sensors. The iPOS2401 is based on a new design concept offering a cost effective, compact and modular solution for the control of micro-motors of powers up to 25W, with 24V nominal voltage. Designed to cover from low- to high-volume applications, the iPOS drive integrates all the basic motor control functions and the motion control functionality on a single plug-in module. A series of I/O signals, both digital and analogue, are available for easy interfacing with the application. With only 9 cm-square surface, on a plug-in module, the iPOS micro-controller offers a large flexibility in terms of into the user motherboard where the size, shape and connectors can be customized to respond exactly to the application requirements. ETHERCAT NETWORKING The iPOS2401 MX-CAT drive supports CAN application protocol over EtherCAT® (CoE) in conformance with CiA 402 device Micro-sized motion controller and drive for small motor up to 25W continuous Suitable for any motor technology (brushed, brushless, step or linear) Sinusoidal (FOC) control of brushless motors and 2 / 3-phase step motor Miniaturized design (20 x 50 x 10 mm) Various modes of operation: torque, speed or position control Enhanced internal trajectory generator for position profiles or external reference via communication bus TMLCAN and CANopen (CiA 301 and 402) protocols and EtherCAT communication Digital inputs: 5-24V, NPN (Enable, 2 Limits switches, plus 2 general- purpose) Digital outputs: 5-24V, 0.5A, NPN open-collector (2 general-purpose) Analogue inputs: 12-bit, 0-5V: Reference or Feedback or general-purpose Incremental quad encoder and digital Hall sensors Single power supply 7-30V; optional separated logic supply Output current: 1A cont. (BLDC mode) up to 100KHz PWM profile. Advanced features are covered,as cyclic synchronous position, up to 35 customizable homing modes (including all CiA 402 standard homing modes), PVT third order interpolation polynomial motion profiles, etc. Initial drive commissioning is performed via the Technosoft EasySetup or EasyMotion Studio software platforms; checking and updating of setup data can also be done from the EtherCAT master. Motion programming can be done via an EtherCAT® master, or using the drive builtin motion controller executing a TML program. A distributed control approach which combines the above options, like for example a master calling motion functions programmed on the drives in TML is also possible.
