Working Principle

The working principle of the AFC1521 5P-US is based on open-loop architecture, which allows for both position- and speed-control modes. The controller has a built-in position feedback circuit that allows the system to take the feedback from a motor or any other type of feedback device and adjust its performance accordingly. It can be programmed with a 0 to 2.2V/ 0 to 4.4V input, which is used to define the desired motion profile. The controller also supports various protocol options such as CAN, RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, or other protocol interface. In the open-loop mode, the controller reads the defined motion profile and outputs a signal to the motor for the desired motion. For the closed-loop mode, the controller will take feedback from the motor and adjust the output signal accordingly in order to keep the motor in synchronous operation.

Conclusion

The AFC1521 5P-US is an effective motion control solution for applications that require open- or closed-loop position- and speed-control modes. It provides reliable performance with brushless servo motor systems and can be driven by a variety of interface protocols. The integrated 8-bit microcontroller enables precision control for motions and offer exceptional resolution for movements. As a result, the controller can provide accurate motion control for a variety of applications including robotics, automatic machines, pumps, and conveyors.
