1 How to check if the Hall sensors are linear (analog) or digital [II]

Many of the brushless motors available on the market today are equipped with Hall effect sensors. Usually, these Hall effect sensors are digital. However, there are certain types of motors equipped with linear (analog) Hall sensors. While Technosoft drives…

2 How the software filtering of the encoder inputs works

The software filter for the encoder inputs is available only for the iPOS family and the iMOTIONCUBE drive. It can be activated and programmed from the "Motor Setup" dialog. The filter is a digital input qualifier algorithm that works as in the graph below.…

3 Details about the Incremental Encoder and Digital Halls configuration [GB/CM]

The incremental encoder and the Hall sensors are configured from the Motor Setup dialog in the EasySetUp/EasyMotion Studio software. Below is a short description of the Encoder Resolution and Direction Test and Hall configuration Detection Test. The Encoder…

4 Speed control of a brushless motor equipped only with digital Hall sensors

When a brushless motor is equipped only with digital Hall effect sensors and the speed control is required, a special control algorithm can be used. This algorithm is included in the last firmware versions for the iPOS drives and requires a special hardware…

5 DC brushed / brushless motors with analogue (potentiometer) feedback

In case of the DC brushed or brushless motors equipped only with an analog feedback sensor (e.g. potentiometer) the position or speed control is possible only with a special firmware, as follows: - F6GEA firmware version for iPOS2401 MX-CAN, iPOS3602 VX/MX/BX/HX-CAN,…
