General product description
The MC 3603 S products are unhoused versions of the FAULHABER Motion Controllers and
control either DC, LM or BL motors. The Motion Controllers are configured here via the
FAULHABER Motion Manager software V6 (version 6.8 and higher).
The drives can be operated in the network via the CANopen or EtherCAT fieldbus interface.
In smaller setups, networking can also be performed via the RS232 interface. The Motion
Controller operates in the network in principle as a slave; master functionality for actuating
other axes is not provided. After basic commissioning via Motion Manager, the controllers
can alternatively also be operated without communication interface.
The controllers are secured to a flat base plate via the mounting holes. With optional acces-
sories, mounting is also possible on a DIN 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 13 – 42 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/analog Hall sensors
Incremental encoders with or without line drivers.
Absolute encoder with BiSS-C or SSI interface.
Not all options of the BiSS-C interface are supported by FAULHABER Motion Control-
lers of the V3.0 series. Before using encoders from other manufacturers, clarify the
compatibility with FAULHABER Support.
Motion Controllers with RS232, CANopen or EtherCAT interface can also be operated
independently of the communications interface if a pre-programmed function or
sequence program has been programmed without digital command controls.
