The iPOS line of drives is based on a new design concept that has resulted in cost-effective, compact, modular solutions for the control of rotary or linear brushless, DC brush, and step motors of powers of up to 144 W, with 36 V nominal voltage.
Modularly designed to cover from low-volume to high-volume applications, iPOS3602 and iPOS3604 integrate all the basic motor control functions and motion control features on a single plug-in module. A series of I/O signals, both digital and analog, are available for easy interfacing with the application.
iPOS3602 and iPOS3604 offer flexible solutions, modular at various levels: vertical (VX model) or horizontal (MX model) plug-in cards, open-frame PCBs that can be integrated onto the user’s motherboard, or protected by a metal casing and provided with retractable connectors (BX model). Thanks to the TML instructions set, the iPOS360x intelligent drives are programmable at user’s level. In simple applications, such a unit can operate as a single-axis motion controller and drive in stand-alone mode, autonomously executing the program residing in its non-volatile memory. In systems that require a host, the iPOS drive operates as an intelligent slave, executing motion sequences triggered by input lines or commands received via RS-232 or CAN bus communication.
The iPOS3602 / iPOS3604 drives can be quickly configured, tuned and programmed with the powerful Technosoft graphical platform, EasyMotion Studio. The system configuration and parameterization are performed by selecting and testing system structure, motor and sensor types, and control mode.
