The IPS210 digital mini drive, based on MotionChip DSP control technology, measures 62 mm x 42 mm x 20 mm and controls both dc and stepper motors up to 2 x 12W (24V at 0.5A) in open or closed loop modes. A single power supply is used for logic and the motor. Its embedded motion controller uses the same high-level motion language for both dc and stepper motors, which makes motor technology differences appear transparent to the designer. Movement sequences can be programmed directly on the drive while system control functions can be handled from a PC. The unit is programmable via EasyMotion Studio software in stand-alone or multi-axis configurations. Programming can also be done using motion libraries such as C, VB, Delphi, LabVIEW, or a PLC using PLCopen libraries. TECHNOSOFT, Bevaix, Switzerland. +41 32 732 55 00.
