IMS's Motion Control MForce PowerDrive offers system designers a low cost, intelligent motion controller with a +12 to +75 volt microstepping driver.

The unsurpassed smoothness and performance delivered by Motion Control MForce PowerDrives are achieved through IMS's advanced 2nd generation current control. By applying innovative techniques to control current flow through the motor, resonance is significantly dampened over the entire speed range and audible noise is reduced.

Motion Control MForce PowerDrives accept a broad input voltage range from +12 to +75 VDC, delivering enhanced performance and speed. Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. An extended operating range of -40° to +85°C provides long life, trouble free service in demanding environments.

A high, per phase output current of up to 5 Amps RMS, 7 Amps Peak, allows the compact MForce PowerDrive to control a broad array of motors from size 23 to size 42.

Standard features include eight +5 to +24 volt general purpose I/O lines and the capability of electronic gearing by following a rotary or linear axis at an electronically controlled ratio, or an output clock can be generated fixed to the internal step clock. Also included are one 10 bit analog input, 0 to 5MHz step clock rate, 20 microstep resolutions up to 51,200 steps per revolution, and full featured easy-to-program instruction set.

MForce PowerDrives are available with optional closed loop control. This increases functionality by adding stall detection, position maintenance and find index mark. The closed loop configuration offers an expanded choice of line counts and resolutions by interfacing to a remotely mounted user-supplied external encoder.

Motion Control MForce PowerDrives communicate over RS-422/485 which allows for point-to-point or multiple unit configurations utilizing one communication port. Addressing and hardware support up to 62 uniquely addressed units communicating over a single line. Baud rate is selectable from 4.8 to 115.2kbps.

Optional communication protocols include CANopen. The CAN bus is 2.0B active (11 and/or 29 bit) and is capable of all standard frequencies from 10kHz to 1MHz. CANopen features include node guarding, heartbeat producer, SDOs and PDOs. Highlights include variable PDO mapping and extended node identifier.*

The versatile Motion Control MForce PowerDrive comes with dual mounting configurations to fit various system needs. All interface connections are accomplished using pluggable locking wire crimp connectors, with the exception of the CANopen option which uses a DB9 connector. Optional cables are available for ease of connecting and configuring the MForce, and are recommended with first order.

The Motion Control MForce PowerDrive is a compact, powerful and inexpensive solution that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range of applications.
