maxon motor control EPOS Application Note: Master Encoder Mode Edition December 2008 Positioning Controller Application Note Master Encoder Mode Edition December 2008 EPOS 24/1, EPOS 24/5, EPOS 70/10, MCD EPOS 60W Firmware version 2010h or higher Introduction The EPOS positioning controller is a digital positioning system suitable for DC and EC (brushless) motors with incremental encoders in a modular package. The performance range of these compact positioning controllers ranges from a few watts up to 700 watts. A variety of operating modes allows all kinds of drive and automation systems to be flexibly assembled using positioning, speed and current regulation. The built-in CANopen interface allows networking to multiple axis drives and online commanding by CAN bus master units. As an alternative, the EPOS can also be commanded by digital position values. Either an incremental encoder (Master Encoder Mode) is used for setting the values of the device, or a PLC generating step pulses (Step Direction Mode) can be used to command the device. Objectives This application note explains the structure and use of the operating mode ‘Master Encoder Mode’. Application examples and limitations are discussed.
