Presentation of the controller
Pollux is a extremely compact combination of a high torque
stepper motor and a intelligent positioning controller.
The 1.8° / 0.9°, 42 mm sq. motor is combined with a powerful
motor electronic that provides a calculational step resolution
of minimum 0.001µm and a maximum speed of 40 rev./s.
Controller programming and configuration is executed via a
RS232 interface which allows velocity moves, point-to-point
moves and multiple unit control with only one communication
port.
Optional a CAN-Bus interface is provided.
The ASCII programming language is termed Venus-2.
A On-Board flash memory enables non volatile parametrizing
and software updates via the serial line.
Your dealer will support you if a firmware update is
necessary.
Pollux is available in different variants, which differ from motor
speed, holding torque and the motor assembly.
