FT120Q-R Integrated Circuits (ICs)

FT120Q-R is a torque motor controller designed for state-of-the-art drive systems. It is a simple and cost effective solution for controlling DC or AC motors with or without encoder feedback. It has a wide range of applications in robotics, automation and embedded control systems.The FT120Q-R consists of an inner controller module and an outer drive module. The controllers block diagram consists of a power stage, communication stage, and an analog input/output stage. The power stage consists of a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit, a driver circuit, and a power bridge. The communication stage includes a speed controller and a control system with a pulse width modulation (PWM) input. The Analog I/O section includes a power steering interface, current measurement, a tachometer input, a digital I/O, and an analog input.The FT120Q-R can be operated in either open-loop or closed-loop mode. In open-loop mode, the controller will use the information it receivesfrom the power bridge and the analog inputs to control the motor. The speed control uses an internal speed controller to control the motor position. The motor will run until the desired speed is reached. In closed-loop mode, the controller uses encoder feedback to control the speed and position of the motor. The encoder is used to monitor the motor\'s speed and direction and the controller can then adjust the outputs accordingly. Additionally, the controller can be programmed to limit the maximum speed and acceleration of the motor with the use of a trapezoidal speed profile algorithm.The FT120Q-R supports communication protocols including RS485, CAN, Modbus, and ARINC-429. The user can configure the communication protocol via the FT Manager software. This software allows the user to set the operating mode, control parameters, and the communication protocol.The FT120Q-R has several features that make it an ideal solution for embedded control systems. It has inbuilt overload protection and current measurement, which help ensure the proper operation of the motor. Also, the system has an automatic detection feature which detects the presence of a motor connected to it. Furthermore, the system provides an input interface that can be used to connect external devices such as sensors, actuators, and switches. Overall, the FT120Q-R is an easy to use and cost effective electric motor controller. It can be used in a wide range of applications and is compatible with various communication protocols. Its excellent performance, inbuilt current measurement, overload protection, and flexible control parameters make it an ideal choice for controlling DC or AC motors.
