    Precision DC & Stepper Motor Controller

    Model Multidrive 16
    Multidrive 16 is a universal system for controlling and driving DC or stepper motors as well as rotary or linear actuators. The
    device has a modular, modern design and is capable of controlling up to 16 motors or actuators.
    Originally, the device was developed to control precision actuators at optical positioning systems used mainly by the
    academic and R&D sector. However, due to its versatility and the range of motors it can control, the device is also suitable
    for demanding industrial applications.
    The device consists of the system unit and individual output modules.

    System Unit
    Main system board
    Output Modules
    The core of the system unit is the , which
    houses the following functional blocks: CPU MainBoard based on an
    industrial PC, Input/output board providing for communication
    between the CPU MainBoard and other circuits, particularly output
    modules, LCD control and power circuits, and circuits that
    galvanically separate trigger signals from the external
    communication signals.
    The CPU unit directly controls an LCD display, an external monitor
    (standard PC), 3.5" floppy drive, external and internal keyboard and
    a speaker.
    The system unit also includes a connection board with 16 free slots
    for output modules.
    The device is power supplied from a switch mode power unit.
    The device can be operated either as a stand-alone system, in which
    case it is controlled through an internal 16-key keyboard or an
    external standard PC keyboard, or remotely over a serial RS-232
    line. Pre-programmed sequences of motor motions can be also
    triggered by external TTL or optical impulses.
    The housing of the system unit is made of a high-quality metallic
    case of the standard 19" dimension. It can be either fast mounted in
    19" racks or operated in free table top position.
    Output modules generate power and control signals for a specific
    type of motor (actuator). They are designed and optimised to ensure
    accurate homing of the motor in a defined position or to ensure an
    accurate linear movement by a defined length allowing at the same
    time to set up the velocity profile. As a standard, DC MOTOR and
    STEPPER MOTOR output modules are supplied.
    Velocity profile generator generates temporally dependent control
    signals corresponding to the required velocity of the motor. The
    velocity profile is defined by 5 parameters (acceleration,
    deceleration, max and min velocity, stopping distance). The signals
    from the velocity profile generator are used to generate control
    voltage (for DC motors) or clock pulses (for the stepper motor) that
    consequently control the output driver. The output driver has an in-
    built PWM output current stabilisation. The position of the motor is
    monitored by the pulse counter with the pulses coming either from
    the encoder (if the actuator includes an encoder) or from the pulse
    generator (in the case of stepper motors without an encoder).
    The system is regulated by a feedback system.
    Output modules also contain circuits for checking of the stop
    position status or for processing home position identification signals
    (in the case of some actuators).

    Operating of the device is very intuitive and simple. The device can
    be easily configured. By selecting a motor from the database, which
    is a standard part of the basic software package, optimum
    operational parameters can be set up. For more convenience,
    individual channels of the device can be given symbolic names.
    All settings, configuration, etc. are automatically saved in the device.
    The data can be also saved to (or loaded from) a 3.5" floppy disc or
    they can be transferred to an external computer over a serial line.
    The device also includes basic SW for controlling the serial
    communication with the device.
    The system and application SW is under continuous development.
