Incredibly compact and smart digital servo drive for DC brush and brushless motors, linear motors and voice coils.
The Whistle weighs only 50 grams and is the size of a match-box (55 X 46.5 X 15mm). Despite its size it can deliver 500W of continuous power or 1000W of peak power.
The whistle is small and light enough to be mounted in a motor housing or near the motor. This significantly reduces the amount of cabling and associated maintenance.
Power to the Whistle is provided by an external 12-95 VDC isolated DC power supply. A "smart" control-supply algorithm enables the Whistle to operate with the power supply only, with no need for auxiliary power. If back-up functionality is required for storing control parameters during power-outs, an auxiliary 12-95 VDC power supply can be connected, providing maximum flexibility and optional backup functionality when needed.The Whistle incorporates a digital motion controller that features CANopen networking, a position loop, a velocity loop, a current loop and a very wide range of feedback and I/O options. |
