If you’re looking for a customised motor controller then the first thing to consider should be a custom programmed motor controller. This option enables you to use one of our stock motor controllers, whether it be a stepper or a brushless DC motor controller and request specific features be included in the firmware.
Typical examples of what can often be modified include;
Inputs and Outputs – request a custom setup of the inputs and outputs. For example you can request certain inputs, pulse outputs, signal outputs, signal inputs. Use signal inputs to trigger certain sequences (these can be custom programmed – for example a fixed pre-programmed operation). If you need to use a certain type of input that is not present on the controller this could potentially be addressed using an additional plugin board.
Speeds and basic control inputs – speed ranges can be modified to whatever you require. In addition, the inputs which control this can also be modified. Need a fixed speed? No problem. Want to run between 2 certain fixed points and only adjustment in between these two points? No problem either.
Fault outputs – these can be setup as required.
Communication protocols – these can be modified or customised as required.
Current levels – on applications such as stepper motor applications these measurements can be fixed as required.
Safety features – safety features such as over-temperature monitoring, current monitoring and stall detection can be setup. This can be achieved using external sensors or onboard measurements (where available).
Presets – standard resets such as acceleration, deceleration and speed governing systems can all be custom setup as required by your application.
