The ICON Interface Module has been designed to work seamlessly
with the ICON H-Bridge module. The ICON Interface Module can act
as a programming platform for the ICON H-Bridge, as a stand-alone
controller, or as a serial interface between a master unit and the
ICON H-Bridge.
This module provides all of the support circuitry to successfully
implement set-point DC motor control when used in conjunction with
the ICON H-Bridge. This circuitry includes a switching step-down
regulator, 10-bit analogue-to-digital conversion, indicator LEDs,
frequency-to-voltage converter, and two channels of 10-bit PWM generation.
The five modes of operation include two forms of motor speed
control with 0-4.096V analogue control input. One mode of operation
makes use of a frequency to voltage converter for speed control.
A fourth mode of operation allows the user to configure a custom
motor speed profile that uses the 0-4.096V analogue input as the
address for a look-up table containing motor speed and direction
information. And finally, motor speed and direction can be controlled
with a direct serial interface.
A multitude of configuration settings can be programmed via the
serial interface. These settings include the PWM frequency and resolution
(the default is 19.2kHz, 10-bit resolution), step limits for changes
in the PWM duty-cycle, and an expandable dead-band setting. Various
function setting registers and status registers can also be accessed
with a serial link. In addition to the various non-volatile configuration
registers, the master unit has free access to 16 EEPROM bytes stored
in registers 19-34.
Ease of connectivity, a flash-based controller, and connections
for in-circuit-debugging allow the ICON Interface Module to be quickly
configured for custom applications. 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 Position
Controller
PID based position controller for use with brushed DC motors
equipped with quadrature encoders. Direct, Analogue, Velocity,
or Trapezoidal control modes with 32 bit position control.
Can act as a stand alone position controller or will work
under control of a master unit. Operates with the ICON H-Bridge
configured in direct drive mode.
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.
