Two new speed controllers have been added to Clearwater, FL-based MICROMO’s (FAULHABER Group) controller range. The PI Controller series is software-configurable, so there’s no need for trimmers or DIP switches, and it can be operated with one controller, either as brushed direct-current (DC)  motors or electronically commuted brushless (BL) drives, also with integrated Hall sensors. Depending on the operating mode, the speed can be controlled to between 50 and 60,000 rpm.

Users can adapt the controller properties to their purposes The latest version 4.5 of the well-known "Motion Manager" software from FAULHABER enables specific programming with the familiar, easy-to-use tools. Power limits, control parameters, fixed speeds, encoder resolution and set value definition can all be configured using the PWM signal, with variable settings for the maximum speed and operation of the DC and BL motors with or without sensors.

For applications where no adjustments are necessary, preprogrammed controllers are also available. The "plug and play" version requires neither programming adapter nor Motion Manager. The new controllers are available in casing versions and board versions and their compact design enables them to be used in various medical applications without extensive wiring.
