ION^® 3000 Digital Drive Offers High Power for Demanding Motion Control Applications.

The ION^® product line now has power ranges of 500W and 3000W. This allows a wide range of motor types and sizes to be combined in multi-axes motion positioning applications when using ION Digital Drives.

Lincoln, Massachusetts, USA — the new ION^® 3000 Digital Drive from Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD), the second in PMD’s family of high-performance, network-connected motion control drives, designed with PMD’s advanced Magellan™ Motion Control IC. The ION 3000 expands the capabilities of the digital drive product line increasing voltage and power specifications and adding pulse and direction functionality.

The ION 3000 is a compact module that provides network connectivity, power amplification and high-performance motion control features in a rugged, easy to use enclosed package. Both the ION 500 and ION 3000 are available for DC brush, brushless DC and microstepping motors, and are ideal for medical, scientific, semiconductor, industrial, robotic and general automation applications.

Based on PMD’s high performance Magellan™ Motion Processor, ION Digital Drives provide CAN bus and serial communications, and accept commands over a network to control trajectory generation, position loop, current loop and other high-performance motion control features. The ION controls a 3-phase brushless motor using field oriented control or sinusoidal commutation. User selectable profiling modes include S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, electronic gearing and pulse & direction. Other features include hardware performance trace, on-the-fly profile
