How does a motion control board control the motor?
It can automatically output control pulse according to motion parameters such as target position, velocity, acceleration and deceleration rate, etc. It has various limit input functions for positioning control. Motor driver controls motor itself. Motion control board outputs pulse signal for the motor driver unit and controls motor.
How does the Contec motion control system work?
Control by one pulse signal controlling travel distance and velocity, and a signal deciding rotation direction. Outputs OUT (forward pulse output) signal and DIR (delay pulse output) signal. In case the phase of DIR and OUT is +90° different, it moves (rotates) to forward (Clockwise).
How are servo motors used in motion control?
Servo motor has two types; AC servo motor and DC servo motor. Servo motors are widely used on machining tools and industrial robots at manufacturing factories. Servo motor has encoder to detect rotation angle, and high-precision positioning is done on closed loop. Our motion control boards are applicable to pulse input type servo motors.
What are the uses of motion control technology?
By giving electronic energy to a motor, a motor operates and converts it to motional energy. This technology has a key role in machining tools, robotic control, semiconductor manufacturing equipments, injection molding machines, and digital home electronics inspection machines. The equipment investment in this field is largely growing these years.
Can a small motor controller have over current protection?
Overload and over current protection may be omitted in very small motor controllers, which rely on the supplying circuit to have over current protection. Small motors may have built-in overload devices to automatically open the circuit on overload.
How does an intelligent motor controller ( IMC ) work?
An Intelligent Motor Controller (IMC) uses a microprocessor to control power electronic devices used for motor control. IMCs monitor the load on a motor and accordingly match motor torque to motor load.
What kind of input circuit do I need for motion control?
Input circuit is compatible with two-phase (A/B phase) and single-phase (UP/DOWN). It can be used with encoders compatible with differential output, TTL level output, and open collector output. Our motion control board has following output types compatible to pulse train input type motor drivers.
