maxon motor launches a new intelligent positioning controller.
A 2nd generation of the family of intelligent positioning controllers EPOS (Easy to use POsitioning System) is already emerging. EPOS2 is the name of the new product from the maxon motor control range - a digital positioning controller designed to control brush and brushless DC motors with encoder.

maxon EPOS positioning controllers are the ideal choice for applications that require decentralized drive intelligence. These modular digital positioning controllers, based on CANopen standard, cover a performance range from 1 - 700 watts. They can operate in position, speed and current control mode, and can be configured to operate with both DC and EC motors, depending on software commands. A variety of operating modes means that they can be used flexibly in every kind of drive system in automation technology and mechatronics.

The new EPOS2, with 32-bit digital signal processor technology, supports the very best motion control functionalities. Complex mathematical algorithms can therefore be carried out efficiently. This produces excellent control characteristics. The new EPOS2 offers excellent security and effective protection against electromagnetic interference as a result of potential-separated digital inputs and outputs. Thanks to interpolated position mode (IPM), the EPOS2 is able to synchronously run a path specified through interpolation points dynamically and accurately. With a suitable master, coordinated multi-axis movements and any profile can be carried out in a 1-axis system. ...
