MC 3602 B & MC 3606 B Motion Controllers Make Commissioning Drive Systems Simple

Nov. 21, 2024
Faulhaber's latest motion controllers, MC 3602/06 B are compact and let you operate DC motors, brushless DC motors, and linear motors with typical position encoders as servo drives.

Selecting and commissioning drive systems is now even simpler with the MC 3602 B and MC 3606 B motion controllers

With the compact MC 3602/06 B, DC motors, brushless DC motors, and linear motors can be operated with typical position encoders as servo drives per CiA 402. Also new is the support of stepper motors with an encoder as a servo or without an encoder in open-loop operation. The products use EtherCAT, CANopen, RS232, and USB communication.

The MC 3602 B variant has up to 2 A continuous output current for smaller motors and the MC 3606 B variant has up to 6 A continuous output current for medium-sized motors, simplifying engineers' work. For applications with more than one motor technology, only one motor controller and a GUI are needed.

The free FAULHABER Motion Manager 7 software is available for installation and commissioning. With this, the drive is up and running in a few steps. All main operating modes of the CiA 402 servo drive are offered. Integration is performed via CANopen or RS232, and for commissioning, primarily the USB interface is used. An optional EtherCAT module also enables cycle times as short as 1 ms. In conclusion, the motion controllers can also be operated without central control in stand-alone mode.

When combined with FAULHABER motors, the MC 3602 B and MC 3606 B deliver a sophisticated drive system with extensive protective functions. The products were developed for the operation of motors with ironless winding and offer high dynamics here. Standard motors—such as NEMA stepper motors—can likewise easily be operated with the MC 3602/06 B. They represent a solid basis for a range of applications. Regardless of whether the application uses a stepper motor in open-loop or closed-loop operation, or in combination with brushless, linear, or DC servomotors, the MC 3602/06 B provides a solution for nearly every requirement.
