MCP236 Dual 30A, 60VDC Advanced Motor Controller

The MCP series of motor controllers are feature packed and customizable. They incorporate an advanced motion control scripting language. The MCP's scripting language is based on an easy to use variant of BASIC. The scripting language gives complete control over the motor controller's functions including changes to I/O and system settings on the fly. The scripting language supports 32 bit integer and floating point math, 32 bit variables, arrays, conditional statements and more. The MCP's I/O is scriptable, making it extremely adaptable to any application. Scripts are created and debugged from within the free Motion Studio application. The MCP's high degree of customization allows it to easily run as a stand alone controller or integrate into any system.

At the heart of the MCP is a 32Bit high performance Cortex M4 processor with DSP and FPU. The MCP can be configured for closed or open loop modes. A wide range of closed loop sensor are supported including potentiometers, absolute encoders, accelerometers, gyros and more. The MCP incorporates a high performance motion control intelligence which achieves high precision control and optimum motor performance in open or closed loop modes.

The MCP includes several user definable I/O which make the integration of limit switches, homing switches and other devices possible. In addition I2C and SPI are supported to connect external sensors. The MCP program language and mix of user controlled I/O eliminate the need for a secondary interface system in many applications.

With the multi mode interface, MCP can be controlled from CANOpen, USB, RC radio, serial devices, analog, PLCs and or microcontrollers such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. In addition it can be networked as slave or master using CANOpen.

The MCP is a synchronous regenerative motor controller. It can be configured to redirect the regenerative power for use with switching power supplies. The MPC also incorporates a lithium cutoff mode to protect batteries from damage due to excessive regenerative voltages.

The MCP motor controller is the perfect solution where system cost, reliability, safety and usability are of concern.
