About the Devices
maxon motor control's EPOS4 Module 24/1.5 and EPOS4 Compact 24/1.5 are small-sized, full digital,
Capabilities of the
device, included fea-
smart positioning control units. Their high power density allow flexible use for brushed DC and brushless
tures, and supported
EC (BLDC) motors up to approximately 36 Watts with various feedback options, such as Hall sensors,
motors.
incremental encoders as well as absolute sensors in a multitude of drive applications.
The devices are specially designed to be commanded and controlled as a slave node in a CANopen net-
work. In addition, the units can be operated via any USB or RS232 (the Module requires an external
transceiver) communication port of a Windows or Linux workstation. Moreover, the integrated extension
interface allows pooling with optionally available communication interfaces, such as EtherCAT or other
additional functionalities.
Latest technology, such as field-oriented control (FOC) and acceleration/velocity feed forward in combi-
nation with highest control cycle rates allow sophisticated, ease-of-use motion control.
Thanks to its smart design, the EPOS4 Module 24/1.5 can either be used in combination with EPOS4
CB 24/1.5 connector boards as a compact, integrated solution or be incorporated into customer-specific
motherboards for single axis or multi axes motion control systems. The controller is available in the fol-
lowing configurations:
