Stand-alone DSP motion controllers with built-in stepper drivers for motorized linear and rotation stages.

The MC600 series are motion controllers based on a 32-bit DSP, providing 3-axis linear and 2-axis circular interpolation with closed-loop feedback available on every axis. Programs can run from the built-in SD card, so a host computer is not required. Motor drivers are installed inside the chassis; the controllers run motorized linear stages, rotation stages and goniometers, with a front-panel LCD, full parameter setup and flexible I/O. MC600-2B/4B drive two-phase stepping motors, MC6003P-2B/4B three-phase stepping motors.

Key Features

  • 32-bit, 150 MHz DSP with 3-axis linear and 2-axis circular interpolation
  • Closed-loop control using external linear scales (grating rulers)
  • Absolute and relative positioning; units in pulses, degrees, mm or µm
  • Separate start speed, constant speed and acceleration settings; any position can be set as user origin
  • Real-time readout of logic position, actual position, speed and acceleration
  • 16-channel I/O (8 TTL inputs, 8 open-collector outputs); RS-232 and USB 2.0
  • Stand-alone operation from built-in SD card; parameters saved at power-off; optional joystick

Typical Applications

  • Control of motorized linear stages
  • Rotation stage and goniometer control
  • Multi-stage combined motion systems
  • Stand-alone automated positioning without a PC
