FELDKIRCHEN, Germany, May 1, 2018 — 
The NP5 controller, designed specifically for integration into Nanotec Electronic GmbH & Co. KG devices, is suitable for brushless direct-current motors and stepper motors.
A PCI Express connector allows for fast and easy integration into a customer-specific board, offering a compact and affordable solution that reduces the wiring effort,
particularly for multiaxis applications. The NP5 controller can control motors with a rated current of up to 6 A via FOC, Hall sensors, or sensorless control. In addition to position, speed, and torque control, operating modes with cyclical set value specification are also available for interpolated multiaxis operation.
For parameterization and programming, Nanotec offers the free Plug & Drive Studio software. The NP5 can be connected to a higher-level controller via SPI, EtherCAT, Modbus RTU, or CANopen. In addition, the controller can be programmed in the NanoJ V2 programming language so that time-critical tasks can be executed directly in the controller, independently of the fieldbus communication. The new controller is equipped with six digital inputs and outputs, two A/D converters, two encoder inputs, and one brake output. For evaluation, single-axis motherboards are available for various fieldbuses.
