Low Current IDEA Drive for Can Stack Linear Actuators
Waterbury, CT ‐ Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions,
Inc. introduces the Haydon RoHS compliant PCM4806
IDEA™ programmable linear actuator drive. The
PCM4806 is the most recent addition to the IDEA Drive
family of products. It’s optimized to regulate a low
current power stage suitable for controlling the smaller
Haydon can‐stack linear actuators. With the addition of
the PCM4806 to the IDEA line, there’s a programmable drive available for use with just about the entire
line of Haydon stepper motor linear actuators.
The IDEA Drive is a compact, easy‐to‐use electronic drive and fully programmable control unit
with a patent pending graphic user interface. Programming the drive is though the use of on‐screen
buttons instead of complicated command sets or other proprietary programming languages.
A unique feature of the graphic user interface is automatic population of the motor and drive
parameters based on entering a Haydon actuator part number when prompted by the user interface.
Complex parameter calculations or in‐depth stepper motor knowledge from the user is completely
unnecessary. For a more experienced user, default values can easily be adjusted as long as they remain
within the safe range calculated by the software. The software allows the system designer to easily
troubleshoot programs using line‐by‐line or multiple line program execution using the interactive debug
feature. Inputs and outputs can also be simulated in software before ever connecting actual I/O
hardware.
