EPOS 24/5 is a digital motion controller capable of position, velocity, and current mode. A small package size and cost-efficient design makes the EPOS 24/5 a suitable choice for controlling small brush or brushless motors. Dimensions are 105 x 83 x 24 mm and weight is 170 g. Communication is via RS232 or CANopen. Software for CANopen and Windows DLL¹s is complimentary. Requiring a supply voltage of 11-24 Vdc, the controller is capable of 5 A maximum continuous current and 10 A peak current. Efficiency is up to 90 percent. The 50 kHz switching frequency and built-in choke ensures 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 two-pole motors.
