ION/CME N-Series Drives are compact, PCB-mountable modules that provide high-performance motion control, network connectivity, and power amplification for Brushless DC, DC Brush, and step motors. These products can operate with a host or fully standalone by downloading user application code. Three power output levels are available - 75, 350, and 1,000 watts and communication options include Ethernet, CAN, RS232, RS485, and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interconnect). N-Series IONs perform profile generation, PID servo compensation, direct encoder input, field-oriented control, and many other motion control functions. These miniature devices are ideal for creating embedded control solutions in medical, mobile, scientific, semiconductor, and other automation applications.

  • DC Brush, Brushless DC and step motor control versions
  • Ethernet, CAN FD, serial or SPI host communications
  • 75 W, 350 W, or 1000 W power rating
  • Ultra-small package (37.6mm x 37.6mm x 16.8mm)
  • Fully user programmable
  • S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, electronic gearing profiles
  • 12-56 V single power source
  • 20, 40, 80 and 120 kHz PWM frequency
  • Supports quadrature, sin/cos, BiSS-C encoders
  • FOC (Field Oriented Control)
  • Programmable dual biquad filters
