MDrive17Plus Motion Control

By Design News Staff -- Design News, April 9, 2006

High performance in a quiet package

This motion control's integrated microstepping driver/motion controller/NEMA17 high-torque, brushless motor design uses innovative techniques to control current flow through the motor. This reduces resonance throughout the MDrive's speed range, making it quieter. It can take a broad input voltage range from 12 to 48V dc. It has less problems common with long-run and multiple-drive systems, using oversized input capacitors to minimize power surges. It's tough, running at an extended operating range of -40 to 85C, and its general purpose I/O, running to 24V, has been expanded from 4 to 8. The MDrive17 has a full-featured, easy-to-program instruction set, a 10-bit analog input, 0 to 5 MHz step clock rate, and 20 microstep resolutions up to 51,200 steps per revolution. Expanded features make electronic gearing possible with an output clock generated fixed to the internal step clock, or by following a rotary or linear axis at an electronically controlled ratio. Options and accessories include a long life linear actuator, encoders, integrated planetary generator, control knob and linear slide.
