Motor Mind B

Control speed and direction with a simple serial link. This module reads tachometers, counts pulses, and can automatically control motor speeds.

Serial commands can be sent via a 1 or 2 wire interface. The short instruction set designed into the Motor Mind B allows the user to implement complex control algorithms quickly and with little effort.

Bi-directional or uni-directional DC motors with operating voltages as great as 30VDC can be used with the Motor Mind B. This module can handle peak currents as large as 3.5A and continuous currents of 2.0A. Package power dissipation must not be exceeded during use.

Features include the ability to read a motor's tachometer frequency (0-65,535Hz), automated speed control, 254 discrete steps of speed control, and motor direction changes. The Motor Mind B comes complete with a watchdog timer to eliminate the possibility of a system firmware failure.

The Motor Mind B's small size and connection scheme allow the device to be inserted directly into circuit boards for production runs, or into breadboards for easy prototyping. The Motor Mind B comes in a 1.2"x1.3" SIP module.

Hardware testing of the Motor Mind B may be streamlined with the Motor Mind B Serial Test Board.
