One motion chipset does work of two

Lexington, Mass.— Navigator MC2800 Series motion processors control both brushed and brushless servo motors in one chipset. Supported are sinusoidal commutation of 2- or 3-phase brushless motors as well as positioning and velocity control of brushed servo motors. The 2- or 4-axis processor allows selection of each axis as brushed or brushless.

Lexington, Mass.— Navigator MC2800 Series motion processors control both brushed and brushless servo motors in one chipset. Supported are sinusoidal commutation of 2- or 3-phase brushless motors as well as positioning and velocity control of brushed servo motors. The 2- or 4-axis processor allows selection of each axis as brushed or brushless. Consisting of a 132-pin processor and a 100-pin logic device (both surface mount CMOS technology), its instruction set supports over 130 commands. www.pmdcorp.com Performance Motion Devices Inc .
