EPOS P 24/5 Position Controller: Fully programmable, compact standalone motion control
The EPOS P 24/5 is a programmable digital motion controller capable of position, velocity, and current mode. After initial programming, the EPOS P 24/5 may be operated as a stand-alone position controller, or used to control other non-programmable EPOS units, resulting in a cost-effective multi-axis control system. The small package size design is ideal for controlling small brush or brushless motors. Requiring a supply voltage of 11-24 V DC, the controller is capable of 5 A max continuous current and 10 A peak current. Efficiency is up to 90%. The 50 kHz switching frequency and built-in choke insures compatibility with most low inductance motors, while the sinusoidal commutation for brushless motors insures minimal torque ripple and low noise. Maximum motor speed is 25,000 rpm for 2-pole motors. A maximum encoder input frequency of 1 MHz, six digital inputs, four digital outputs, and two analog inputs allows for maximum flexibility.
