Enclustra's Universal Drive Controller is a sophisticated IP core that manages motor control for DC, brushless, and stepper motors with precision. It's a comprehensive solution that incorporates position control and trajectory planning, eliminating the need for additional drive controller chips. This IP core helps save both precious PCB real estate and costs, while significantly speeding up the time-to-market for new applications.
The core can control up to eight motors, handling all control loops autonomously, which reduces CPU demand. This autonomous operation ensures robust performance with minimal system resources, making it ideal for industries requiring precise motor control, such as robotics and automation. It integrates perfectly with industry-standard AXI-4 interfaces, offering a vendor-independent implementation with high customizability.
The controller supports velocity and acceleration feeds for enhanced performance, and features microstepping capabilities for fine control of stepper motors. Additional functionalities include current, voltage, and temperature supervision, ensuring reliable and efficient motor operation under varying conditions.
