Motion Controller

Motion Controllers
FAULHABER Motion Controllers are user-friendly, single-axis position controllers – customised for actuating DC motors, brushless motors (BL) and linear motors (LM) from FAULHABER.

For positioning tasks with a high resolution and applications with very exact speed control in the area of motion control, these are available with RS232, CANopen or even with EtherCAT interfaces. In addition, Motion Controllers offer the advantage of simple configuration using the "FAULHABER Motion Manager" software.

Features of the Motion Controller
FAULHABER Motion Controllers, available in housed and unhoused variants, are highly dynamic positioning systems and control DC, LM or BL motors. The Motion Controllers are configured here via the FAULHABER Motion Manager software. The drives can be operated in the network via the CANopen or EtherCAT fieldbus interface (only included in V3.0 Motion Controllers). In smaller setups, networking to Motion Control can also be performed via the RS232 interface.

The Motion Controllers operate in the network as a slave. Master functionality for actuating other axes is not provided. After basic commissioning with the Motion Manager software, controllers can alternatively also be operated without communication interface.

Motion Control - Generation V3.0
The feature- and performance scope of the new V3.0 controller generation exceeds that of the V2.5 controller series. In the following, you will find a list of the key points of what characterizes generation 3.0 in the area of motion control:

More power, faster control and new operating modes
One controller for all motor types and encoder systems
Flexible use of the I/O for setpoints and actual values
Additional I/O and interfaces
Sequence programs are programmable in BASIC, for simple and local automation in all interface technologies
Expanded diagnostic functions
Simple start-up with Motion Manager beginning with version 6.0
FAULHABER V3.0 generation Motion Controllers are highly dynamic, optimally tuned positioning controllers for use in combination with DC-micromotors as well as BL and LM DC-servomotors. The motor type can be configured during commissioning using the FAULHABER Motion Manager in version 6.0 and higher.

In addition to use as a servo drive with controlled position, the speed or current can also be controlled. The actual values for speed and position can be ascertained here using a number of supported sensor systems. Furthermore, limit switches and reference switches can be connected directly to the Motion Controllers. The control setpoints can be preset via the communication interface and the analogue input or a PWM input or can come from internally stored sequential programs.
