Swedish patent granted for novel motor sensor

The sensor technology used on the SimplexMotion line of integrated motor units has been subject for a patent application in early 2011. The application was submitted to the swedish patent office and has now been granted in November 2012. A PCT application has been filed with the original priority date from the swedish submission.

The patent covers rotor position sensing using the magnetic field from the motor magnets on outer rotor brushless motors and with the magnetic sensors on a tangentially arranged PCB circuitboard.

Further patent applications covering technologies in the field of mechatronics is under consideration.

First product datasheet released

The datasheet for the SimplexMotion100A product has now been released. It is still a draft but only small changes are anticipated until the product is released during the winter 2012/2013.

The product features a USB port for straightforward configuration and testing with the freely available SimplexMotionTool PC software. There is also software support with API libraries (Windows, Linux and Labview supported) for PC computer control through USB or RS485/Modbus communication. Applications such as laboratory mechatronic setups can easily be realized with USB  interface and Labview control. Other applications such as CNC machine control can be accomplished with the step motor emulation interface and offers greatly enhanced performance.

The SimplexMotion100A will provide an easy solution to motion control in many applications at a low price point. Estimated price is in the range 150-250€ depending on quantity.

SimplexMotionTool software released

A PC software to configure and test SimplexMotion devices has been developed. This software is a great help in configuring the device by allowing direct editing of the register map. It also has several modes for testing and debugging the motor use in the end application. There is also a mode to simplify optimizing of the feedback regulator and feedforward settings to maximize performance of point-to-point moves in positioning applications.

The picture above shows how a SimplexMotion motor device is connected by USB and run in speed mode while some parameters are plotted in a graph.
