Introduction
The present document provides you with information on the EPOS2 P 24/5 Programmable Positioning
Controller’s hardware. It contains…
•
performance data and specifications,
•
information on connections and pin assignment and
•
wiring examples.
maxon motor control’s EPOS2 P 24/5 is a small-sized, full digital and free programmable positioning
control unit. Due to its flexible and high efficient power stage, the EPOS2 P 24/5 drives brushed DC
motors with digital encoder as well as brushless EC motors with digital Hall sensors and encoder.
The sinusoidal current commutation by space vector control offers to drive brushless EC motors with
minimal torque ripple and low noise. The integrated position, velocity and current control functionality
allows sophisticated positioning applications. The EPOS2 P 24/5 is programmable with a very efficient
software tool. The programming languages are according to IEC 61131-3 standard. The built-in
CANopen interface allows the design of an easy-to-use standalone multiple axis system, particularly
with standard maxon EPOS controllers. In addition, the unit can be operated via any USB or RS232
communication port.
