PMD: Motion Control IC (MC55000 Series)

The Magellan® MC55000 Series of Motion Processors provides high-performance chip-based motion control for scientific, automation, industrial, and robotic applications. Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-axis versions, these flexible, programmable devices provide dedicated control for pulse and direction motors.

Magellan Motion Processors are complete motion controllers requiring only an external amplifier to be functional. They are driven by a host using either an 8 or 16-bit parallel bus, CANbus 2.0B, or an asynchronous serial port. User selectable profiling modes include S-curve, trapezoidal, velocity contouring and electronic gearing.

With over 130 commands, the Magellan Motion Processors provide a flexible and powerful instruction set to initialize and control the motion application, monitor ongoing performance, and synchronize overall machine behavior. Working with the Magellan devices, PMD’s powerful Pro-Motion® GUI makes it easy to graph and analyze system performance, while C-Motion® allows you to develop your own application using C/C++.

Two versions of the Magellan are offered. The multi-motor MC58000 Series can control DC brush, brushless DC, microstepping and pulse and direction motors with motor type selectable on a software, axis by axis basis. The MC55000 Series is dedicated to pulse and direction output.
Magellan Motion Processors come in a single-IC, single-axis version, or in a two-IC, multi-axis version. The IC’s are packaged in a 144-pin TQFP, and a 100-pin TQFP. These devices operate at 3.3 V.
