Maxon Motor Australia has presented the EPOS2 P 24/5, a programmable positioning controller for applications that comply with the IEC 61131-3 standard.
The integrated power stage is based on the EPOS2 slave version and is suitable for brushless and brushed DC motors with incremental encoder and up to 120 watt output power.
The company said the EPOS2 P 24/5 can communicate with a superior process level for supervisory control and data acquisition. It can also autonomously control single and multiple axis systems or via the CAN Bus all axes can be coordinated simultaneously. With EPOS2 P 24/5, EC motors can block commutation of up to 100 000 rpm and 120 watts can be operated. The encoder input offers a resolution of 2 500 000 increments and an input frequency of up to 5 MHz while the analog input features 12-bit resolution.
