FAULHABER Motion Controllers are user-friendly, single-axis position controllers specifically designed for actuating DC motors, brushless motors (BL), and linear motors (LM) from FAULHABER. These controllers deliver high-resolution positioning and precise speed control, making them ideal for demanding motion control applications. Available in both housed and unhoused variants, the MC Series combines compact design with powerful performance, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of industrial and laboratory applications.

The controllers support multiple communication interfaces including RS232, CANopen, and EtherCAT (V3.0 and above), enabling seamless integration into various network architectures. Configuration and commissioning are simplified through the intuitive FAULHABER Motion Manager software.

Key Features & Advantages

Versatile Motor Compatibility: The MC Series supports multiple motor technologies within a single controller platform. Compatible motor types include DC micromotors, brushless DC motors (BL), and linear motors (LM). This flexibility allows engineers to standardize on a single controller family across diverse applications.

Multiple Communication Interfaces: Motion Controllers are available with RS232, CANopen, and EtherCAT interface options. The V3.0 generation introduces EtherCAT support with cycle times as short as 1 ms, enabling high-speed, deterministic communication for demanding automation applications.

Simple Configuration with Motion Manager: The FAULHABER Motion Manager software provides a comprehensive yet intuitive environment for controller setup. Users can configure motor parameters, select operating modes, program sequence steps, and perform diagnostics through a single graphical interface.

High-Dynamic Positioning Performance: Designed for applications requiring high resolution and precise speed control, the MC Series delivers exceptional dynamic performance. The controllers feature 4-quadrant PWM operation, enabling precise control of motor acceleration and deceleration in both directions.

Stand-Alone Operation Capability: After basic commissioning with the Motion Manager software, controllers can be operated without a continuous communication interface. The V3.0 generation supports programmable sequence programs, enabling simple local automation tasks directly on the controller.
