The G5 Motor Controller is the most dynamic, versatile, and cost effective on the market. With its exceptional accuracy, stability, and flexibility, it is capable of satisfying the most demanding motor controller requirements. With its simple to use interfaces, it is the easiest to install and use.
The G5 Motor Controller comes standard with a motor breakout board that can operate up to 6
motors using either step and direction signals (for stepper and linear motors) or PWM and
direction signals (for DC Brushless or AC induction motors). You can even mix and match
motor types from the controller. For example, one axis can be configured as a stepper, another as DC Brushless, and a third as a linear motor. The G5 Motor Controller can also be ordered with any of four different motor driver boards in the same package: a dual axis half/micro-stepping driver; a dual axis DC Brushless motor driver; a single axis linear motor driver, and an AC induction motor driver. Each motor driver board has encoder input(s) and the linear and AC motor driver boards can be stacked up to three axes.
The G5 motor controller employs a high speed 32 bit processor and a high density FPGA for
processing operational commands into motor driver signals. Real time position feedback is
employed for full PID loop closure.
The G5 motor controller allows users to either write their own control software or utilize Aim's
multi-axis PC interface software. All low level commands are available through the USB 2.0
interface. See the operations manual for command details.
In addition, commonly used commands for motor control are available through the optional
VGA touchscreen, along with special motor control function commands such as "line",
"rectangle", "arc", or "circle" that enable the user to input the key coordinates and the controller does the rest of the vector work to move in the desired pattern. The general purpose motion commands available on the VGA menu include: velocity, distance, stop.
