General product description
The MC 5005 and MC 5010 products are housed versions of the FAULHABER Motion Con-
troller and can control DC, LM or BL motors as required. Configuration of the Motion Con-
troller is performed using the FAULHABER Motion Manager V6.
The drives can be incorporated into the network by means of the CANopen or EtherCAT
field bus interfaces. In smaller installations networking can be performed using the RS232
interface. The Motion Controller operates within the network principally as a slave. Master
functionality for controlling other axes is not provided. Alternatively, after initial commis-
sioning by the Motion Manager, the controller can also be operated without any communi-
cations interface.
The controller is mounted on a flat baseplate, using the installation holes. Optional accesso-
ries also permit the controller to be mounted on a top-hat rail.
The output stages are exchangeable and are matched to the various sizes and types of
motors, i.e. DC, BL and LM motors from 12 – 44 mm, as listed in the FAULHABER product
portfolio.
The following connections are available on the supply side:
Communications interfaces
Common or separate power supplies between motor and controller
Various inputs and outputs
The following connections are available on the motor side, depending on the product com-
bination:
Motor phases
Feedback components such as:
Digital/analogue Hall sensors
Incremental encoders with or without line drivers.
Motion Controllers with RS232, CANopen or EtherCAT interfaces can also be operated
independently of the communications interface if a pre-programmed function or
sequence program has been programmed without digital command controls.
