Product Description:

The IPL-060-15 is a miniature motion-axis controller manufactured by Copley Controls for the Bantam M-Axis Controllers series. Designed for surface-mount placement inside compact machines, the unit conditions power and executes current, velocity, and position loops so distributed servo drives can be operated from a single board. Through its CANopen interface, it connects directly to modular PLC networks, allowing synchronized multi-axis operation without separate motherboards. Its through-bore mounting arrangement fits around a 20 mm shaft or lead screw, making it suitable for rotary tables, gimbals, and other compact automation assemblies.

The control stage supplies a continuous output of 7.5 Adc and can deliver up to 15 Adc during dynamic events, so motors receive full torque during rapid indexing. Both the current loop and the PWM carrier operate at 16 kHz, while feedback signals are quantized with a 12-bit current-sense converter that keeps ripple within drive limits. The CANopen port supports a throughput of 1 Mbit/s, enabling deterministic command transmission in multi-axis networks. The board powers encoders with 5 V DC at 250 mA and supports phase windings with inductance as low as 100 µH. Its annular frame has a 64 mm outside diameter, simplifying coaxial stacking inside miniature stages. The PWM ripple frequency is 32 kHz, which places the switching component above the typical audible range.

During acceleration bursts, the peak output can be maintained for 1 s, after which the controller returns to its continuous rating to limit thermal rise. The dedicated position and velocity loop closes at 4 kHz, so commanded trajectories stay aligned with encoder feedback even when motion profiles change quickly. Digital pulse generation maintains a minimum on-time of 220 ns, preventing narrow-pulse distortion at high carrier ratios. The board-level layout uses compact magnetic components and carefully arranged copper layers to reduce size and mass. The entire electronics assembly weighs only 45 g, allowing direct mounting on moving axes where additional weight could reduce acceleration or positioning response.
