Features

• Brushed/brushless servo and microstepping control in one chipset.
• Available in 2- and 4-axis versions.
• 6-step (Hall based) or sinusoidal commutation.
• Supports 2 or 3-phase brushless motors and single phase brushed motors.
• Motion profiles include S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring and electronic gearing.
• Asymmetric acceleration and deceleration to custom program a trapezoidal motion profile.
• Advanced PID filter with velocity and acceleration feedforward, bias offset and 32-bit position error.
• Velocity and acceleration changes on-the-fly for trapezoidal and velocity-contouring profiles.
• Incremental encoder quadrature input and parallel input for absolute encoder or resolver.
• Parallel and serial (point-to-point or multi-drop) communications interface.
• Trace capabilities for system performance checks, servo-tuning, maintenance and diagnostics.
• Encoder rate of 5.0 Mcounts/sec allows use of fine resolution feedback devices.
• 10-bit 20 kHz PWM or 16-bit DAC motor control output to amplifier.
• 150 µsec brushed and brushless servo loop rate per enabled axis.
• Advanced breakpoint capability allows precise sequencing of events.
• PLC-style programmable inputs and outputs, including a per-axis programmable input and output.
• 256 16-bit word I/O locations for user-defined peripherals.
• 8 general-purpose 10-bit analog inputs.
• Two-directional limit switches, index input and home indicator per axis.
• Axis settled indicator and tracking window in addition to automatic motion error detection.
• Packaged in a 132-pin processor and a 100-pin logic device (surface mount CMOS technology).
• Available in commercial and industrial temperature versions.
• Software backward compatible with PMD's MC1xxx family.
