10/31/05 - Brushless Servo Motor Control Developer's Kit Increases Performance With On-Board MOSFETS

 

Motor Control Developer's Kit

Lincoln- MA, The MC73110 Brushless Servo Motor Control IC Developer's Kit (DK73110) with high-efficiency MOSFET amplifiers is an integrated board and software package that allows designers to build a high-performance stand-alone motor controllers, amplifiers or intelligent drives for use in low-cost high performance brushless motor control applications.

PMD’s DK73110 is a complete integrated intelligent amplifier. It incorporates a velocity loop, a current loop, commutation, high-performance half-bridge MOSFET switchers, and integrated motor connections. It utilizes a PI (proportional integral) current control algorithm to drive the power stage, and includes high-level system monitoring and control functions to optimize performance. It can also be used to develop a custom amplifier using external high-power switching circuits. The DK73110 drives a 3-phase brushless servo motor at up to 10 amps, inputs analog or digital command signals, and requires a single voltage high-power input.

The motor control developer's kit comes with a MC73110 Motor Control IC installed.  This intelligent single-axis motor controller provides sophisticated programmable control for brushless DC motors. The MC73110 IC operates in one of three modes: internal profile, velocity or torque. It also provides six-step and sinusoidal commutation, analog or digital command input, velocity profile generation and six-signal symmetric PWM waveform generation.

Chuck Lewin, President and CEO of PMD, comments "Motion control is being driven by the need for low cost solutions. This means the ability to purchase components and assemble a drive, tailored to the user's application. The MC73110 brushless-dc-motor-controller provides exactly that capability. Used with a developer's kit, it is a remarkably easy way to build high- end motor controllers."

The kit includes a CD-ROM of motion-control-software and documentation. Also included is PMD’s C-Motion® Application Programming Interface (API), which can be used to write user applications with standard C and C++ language commands, and PMD’s Pro-Motion® GUI, an easy-to-use Windows® -based program that allows the user to exercise the motor hardware.
