Performance Motion Devices Magellan® Single- & Multi-Axis Motion Control ICs
Performance Motion Devices Magellan® Single- and Multi-Axis Motion Control ICs provide advanced motion control for medical, scientific, automation, industrial, and robotic applications. Available in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-axis versions, these flexible, programmable devices control Brushless DC, DC Brush, and step motors.Performance Motion Devices Magellan Motion ICs are complete motion controllers requiring only an external bridge circuit or amplifier to be functional. These devices are driven by a host using either a parallel bus, SPI, CANbus 2.0B, or RS232/485 serial. User-selectable profiling modes include S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring, and electronic gearing. PID servo loop compensation utilizes a 32-bit position error and includes velocity and acceleration feedforward. High-performance field-oriented control (FOC) provides high accuracy, ultra-low noise motor operation.
All Magellan Motion Control ICs provide a flexible and powerful instruction set to initialize and control motion axes, monitor performance, and synchronize overall machine behavior. Working with Magellan ICs and Pro-Motion® development software makes it fast and easy to graph and analyze system performance, while C-Motion® language enables users to develop applications using C/C++.
