This guide compiles Magellan® positioning motion control IC application examples for BLDC, DC Brush, and step motors. High level control flow diagrams allow users to quickly choose and adapt an approach. Each description provides feedback and communication options along with other useful application information for single-axis MC58113 designs and multi-axis MC58000 designs.
Achieve ultra-smooth, low-speed peristaltic pump control with PMD’s MC53113 Motion Control ICs and ION/CME N-Series Drives. Precise position-based PID control, sinusoidal commutation, and torque feedforward will maintain steady flow even at 60 RPM. Ideal for medical and lab automation, our approach eliminates pressure spikes, improves accuracy, and ensures safer, more reliable fluid handling.
Feedforward is a powerful motion control technology for the all-important task of improving positioning accuracy. In this article we will introduce traditional control approaches such as acceleration feedforward, but also show how table-driven feedforward techniques can correct for mechanical linkage compliance and motor torque fluctuations in both servo and stepper-based systems.
