DC brushed / brushless motors with analogue (potentiometer) feedback In case of the DC brushed or brushless motors equipped only with an analog feedback sensor (e.g. potentiometer) the position or speed control is possible only with a special firmware, as follows:- F6GEA firmware version for iPOS2401 MX-CAN, iPOS3602 VX/MX/BX/HX-CAN, iPOS3604 VX/MX/BX/HX-CAN and iPOS4808 VX-CAN;- F6GYA firmware version for iPOS4808 [...]

Speed control of a brushless motor equipped only with digital Hall sensors When a brushless motor is equipped only with digital Hall effect sensors and the speed control is required, a special control algorithm can be used. This algorithm is included in the last firmware versions for the iPOS drives and requires a special hardware [...]

Details about the Incremental Encoder and Digital Halls configuration - Motor Setup [GB/CM] The incremental encoder and the Hall sensors are configured from the Motor Setup dialog in the EasySetUp/EasyMotion Studio software. Below is a short description of the Encoder Resolution and Direction Test and Hall configuration Detection Test. The Encoder Resolution and Direction Test is opened with the Detect Number of Lines button, while the Hall Configuration Detection Test opens when [...]

The software filter for the encoder inputs is available only for the iPOS family and the iMOTIONCUBE drive. It can be activated and programmed from the "Motor Setup" dialog. The filter is a digital input qualifier algorithm that works as in the graph below. The "GPIO Signal" is either of the encoder signals. The "Output [...]

How to check if the Hall sensors are linear (analog) or digital [II] Many of the brushless motors available on the market today are equipped with Hall effect sensors. Usually, these Hall effect sensors are digital. However, there are certain types of motors equipped with linear (analog) Hall sensors. While Technosoft drives currently use the [...]
