PMD ION 500 and ION 3000 Digital Drives
PMD ION 500 and ION 3000 Digital Drives
Performance Motion Devices ION 500 and ION 3000 combine motion-profile generation, closed-loop control and motor amplification in enclosed digital drives. The two named power classes are 500 W and 3,000 W. The family supports brushless DC, brushed DC and step motors, with host-interface options selected by configuration.
Review Summary
ION drives are useful candidates when an axis needs an integrated controller and power stage with a defined host interface. Select the exact motor, power and CME designation: the ability to download user code should not be assigned indiscriminately to every standard ION configuration.
