Motor Controller (Module M)

Motor Controller Module (M*) is built around the Magellan MC52320 Motion Controller. The MC52320 control processor and its associated IO controller can be configured to control up to three motors, for three-axis motion control. The M* module may be used with DC-Brush motors or Brushless DC motors having external commutation; two-phase or three-phase sinusoidal commutated motor signals in PWM brushless servomotors.

Features:

• Designed/programmable for control of DC brushed, brushless, stepper or PWM motor systems
• Provides complete control and feedback for up to 3-axis (simultaneous) systems
• Integrated motor control feedback for either Hall Sensor, A-QUAD-B or resolver
• Integrated I/O for motor limits, home, fault and motor enable sense/control
• Programmable AC reference (optional reference input to resolvers or stand-alone AC source)
• Twelve (12) channel A/Ds with synchronized/simultaneous FIFO data buffer and triggering option
• Three (3) isolated / independent A/Ds (for current measurement) (option)
• Six (6) (3 x 2) D/A or PWM (3 x 4); (A, B, C and DIR) control signal outputs
• Analog Devices Blackfin DSP for user expansion to program additional control algorithms/functions
• Background (automatic/on-line) calibration and Built-In-Test (BIT)
