Introduction
The present document provides you with information on the MCD EPOS P 60 W Programmable Com-
pact Drive’s hardware. It contains…
•
performance data and specifications,
•
information on connections and pin assignment and
•
wiring examples.
maxon motor control’s MCD EPOS P 60 W is a small-sized, free programmable compact drive. It con-
tains a brushless EC motor with Hall sensors, digital encoder and a digital position control unit. The opti-
mized commutation by space vector control offers to drive the integrated brushless EC motor with mini-
mal torque ripple and low noise. The integrated position, velocity and current control functionality allows
sophisticated positioning applications.
The MCD EPOS P 60 W is programmable with a very efficient software tool. The programming lan-
guages 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 MCD EPOS controllers
or standard maxon EPOS controllers. In addition, the unit can be operated via any RS232 interface.
