The ICON Position Controller has been designed to work seamlessly
with the ICON H-Bridge module. When used with a brushed DC motor
and a quadrature encoder, the ICON Position Controller and ICON
H-Bridge form a highly versatile, low-cost, position control module,
for medium and low current servo motor control.
The ICON Position Controller circuitry includes a switching step-down
regulator, 10-bit analogue-to-digital conversion, indicator LEDs,
quadrature decoder circuitry, and two channels of 10-bit PWM generation.
The ICON Position Controller has four primary modes of operation.
The first, Direct Position control mode allows a master unit to
command the desired motor position up to 32 bits in length (two's
compliment). In this mode of operation acceleration and maximum
velocity are determined by the programmed PID filter values.
In Trapezoidal control mode the ICON Position Controller may
be configured to run up to 16 consecutive trapezoidal movement segments.
Each segment can be programmed with the desired position, acceleration
limit, velocity limit, PID update rate, error-band, dwell time,
and one of three user configurable PID filter settings. A master
unit may initiate the trapezoidal movement segments, or the ICON
Position Controller may be programmed to implement the movements
on power up.
Analogue input (0V-4.096V, 1024 steps) control mode, with offset
and multiplier settings can allow limited position control with
just a potentiometer or other analogue source.
Velocity control mode, with configurable rate of change and update
rate settings make, the ICON Position Controller a useful platform
for PID based motor speed control.
Additional features such as data logging (for direct and trapezoidal
control modes) and user configurable limit switch settings round
out this versatile and cost-effective position control solution.
Support products including free programming/test software, the ICON
Serial Adapter (simplifies connectivity to a PC), and the ICON H-Bridge
Active Cooling Kit make implementation of designs using these components
painless and simple.
The unit measures 4.0" x 1.9" x 0.6". Motor connections are made
via a screw terminal.

ICON H-Bridge Module
The ICON H-Bridge provides easy connectivity and logic level
control of brushed DC motors to 40V and 12A. An on board
microcontroller can be accessed via standard serial communication,
and provides temperature and current monitoring, as well
as user defined temperature and current fuse settings.
ICON Serial Adapter
Simplifies connectivity of the ICON Interface Module to
a PC. Provides test points, analogue output, and connectivity
to Microchip's DV164002 for customization of PIC16F873 firmware
used on the ICON Interface Module (see AN601).
ICON Interface
Module
Can act as the ICON H-Bridge Programmer. Other features
of this design include uni-directional and bi-directional
analogue control, serial 8N1, or motor speed control for
use with the ICON H-Bridge. Set point based speed control
system, or direct PWM control via communication interface.
ICON Communication
Module
The ICON Communication Module is designed to simplify testing
and development of projects requiring RS232 or RS485 serial
communication level conversion. The device can be mounted
directly to the ICON Interface Module, ICON Position Controller,
or the Mini Position Controller using supplied stand-offs
and ribbon cable hardware.
ICON BS2 Carrier
Board
This kit based on application note AN600 allows a single
Parallax BASIC Stamp 2 to control two ICON Interface Modules
and the ICON H-Bridges connected to them. This assembly
is ideally suited for medium sized robotics projects. Various
application notes are available to support this product.
