DC Motors Used with PWM Servo Controller

Published:2011/12/28 1:05:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

Maxon released ESCON 36/2 DC 4-quadrant PWM servo controller which can be used with DC motors up to 72 Watt. With enormous bandwidth, this digital current controller provides drift-free yet extremely dynamic speed behavior through a speed range of 1 to 150,000 rpm. When matched up with maxon’s range of motors, high demanding and dynamic drive solutions are possible..

This servo controller is controlled by means of an analog set value. The product also has functions of the ability to enable or disable the power stage depending on the direction of rotation, or to use speed ramps for acceleration and deceleration.

The product is easy start-up and no in-depth knowledge of drive technology is required. When the servo controller is attached to a PC via a USB port, it can easily and efficiently be configured with the “ESCON Studio” graphical user interface. During startup and configuration of the inputs and outputs, monitoring, data recording and diagnostics, the user has access to a large variety of functions and is assisted by user-friendly software wizards, as well as an automatic procedure for fine-tuning the controller. It comes fully equipped with everything that is needed while no external filters or motor chokes are required and pre-assembled cables for the startup are available as accessories.

The ESCON 36/2 DC has over current protection, excess temperature and under- and over-voltage protection. It has protected digital inputs and outputs and an adjustable current limitation for protecting the motor and the load. The motor current and the actual speed of the motor shaft can be monitored via analog output voltage.

With large range for the input voltage and the operating temperature, it can be used in a variety of drive applications. With its exceptional efficiency of 95%, the inexpensive ESCON 36/2 DC is a first-class choice for mobile, highly efficient yet consumption-optimized applications.
