Multi Axis Motor Control Motherboard
Provide motion to all your entertainment, medical, or aerospace projects with this versatile tool.Intelligent control applications often call for multi-axis solutions to meet demanding performance requirements. Configuring a control solution in a mother board/daughter board array is a convenient and proven method of addressing these types of applications. OEM style daughter boards, like Maxon’s EPOS2 36/2 drive/controller, offer excellent flexibility in design but require custom wiring solutions. This process is often too expensive and time consuming for designers who may not have the resources to undertake a complete development, especially with increasingly short proof-of-concept times. The new EPOS2 36/2 motherboards make product development faster and easier, giving the designer either a standalone multi-axis motor controller or one that can be integrated into the final product as a sub board.
Starting with 11 nodes connected together via CAN-Open, the unique snap apart construction allows for quick multi-axis customization on a single board. Each node mates with an individual EPOS2 36/2 drive/controller and provides connection points. Standard cables are available in stock. Two digital inputs and one digital output are mapped on the board with an additional I/O expansion module as an option. USB and RS232 communication modules are available for users that don’t want to use CAN.
Features of the EPOS 2 motor speed, torque, and position controller with multi axis motherboard include speed and position feed forward control (EPOS supported motion controlled acceleration and speed), step and direction (Implemented for replacing stepper motors with brushless DC motors), point-to-point motor position control, torque control, electronic gearing, dual loop speed and position control, and much more.
