FAULHABER GROUP
The new Motion Controller platform v2.5
Motion Controller Series MC... 3003 and 3006
Schönaich – With the new Motion Controller Platform v2.5, FAULHABER is offering a cross-motor range of Motion Controllers that now includes drives with absolute encoders. At the same time, users will benefit from greater flexibility and enhanced ease-of-application. Brushless DC-Servomotors with absolute encoders can now not only be commutated more effectively due to the high resolution of the encoder, they can also be very precisely controlled even at very low revolutions. Absolute angle information is already available upon powering on, which is an important feature for many positioning applications.Another new feature: the ability to switch operational modes for the Motion Controller MCBL. It can now be freely selected and reconfigured from brushless 2 pole drives to brushless 4 pole drives using the Motion Manager Software 4.6. With the help of the motor assistant, it’s simply a matter of selecting the connected motor and thus the corresponding parameters. The new tuning assistant helps in manually optimizing the control parameters. Another feature of particular note is the ability to set configurations using a USB adapter, as the required drivers are already included in the current Motion Manager
Software version 4.6.
On the hardware side, new features include an expanded operational temperature range that now accommodates temperatures as low as -40° C and the standardized terminal assignment for brushless drives that enables a simple switch from speed to motion controller functionality.
