All synchronization controllers shown on this site operate according to the Master- Slave principle. Where the Master can freely move with any motion profile under control of any remote speed reference, the synchronizer will control one or several Slaves to exactly follow the Master motion in terms of position and speed.
The control is based on incremental position feedback by means of encoders on both sides. Many applications just use a measuring wheel with encoder instead of a Master drive. It is possible to preset every speed or gear ratio by means of adjustable impulse scaling factors.
All units can accept marker pulses from the encoders and from remote proximity switches or photocells, to automatically produce the correct position with pitch or cycle related applications. motrona synchronous controllers can operate with any kind of speed variable drives (AC- inverter, DC, Servo or hydraulic type) that follow to a +/-10V speed reference signal. The extremely fast position control loop provides excellent performance even with highly dynamic applications

Piezo LEGS® - Electronics
As the Piezo LEGS® motor is a non-resonant motor, the drive electronics can be made very simple and reliable. There is no need to keep track of the temperature or other environmental factors normally associated with electronics for resonant piezo motors, nor is there a need to tune the motor for the surrounding mechanical structure, different cable lengths etc.
To drive the Piezo LEGS® motor you need four phases plus ground. To create motion in one drive leg of the motor element you need two phases, one for each side of the electrically separated halves of the leg. The walking drive principle of the motor requires two pairs of legs that operate independently, adding two drive phases.
The same curve form is used for all phases and normally with a drive voltage signal from 0 to + 48 V. For each drive leg the applied signals are normally phase shifted 90° between the two independent sides of one drive leg and normally 180° between the two pairs of legs (see figure to the left below).
It is our experience that most of our customers want to integrate the drive electronics into their own PCB boards etc. and we encourage this by having several design proposals available for different applications and demands. Please contact us if you need further information in this respect.
We also offer our own PDA 3.1 Driver. This is a low cost driver with a simple +/- 10 V analogue interface that allows you hook up the driver to any standard DC or servo motor controller.
There is also other commercially available drivers and controllers from different manufacturers that have been developed for the Piezo LEGS® motors and we would be glad to give you assistance.

Galil's DMC-21x3 Ethernet motion controllers are designed for extremely cost-sensitive and space-sensitive applications. These controllers are typically half-the-price and half-the-size of box-level Ethernet controllers. These intelligent, card-level controllers can be purchased with plug-in, multi-axis amplifier boards which eliminate wiring between the controller and drives. Amplifier boards are available for driving stepper, brush and brushless servo motors up to 500 Watts. Or, the ICM-20100 break-out board can be used for easy connection to external drives.
The DMC-21x3 series is available in one through eight axis versions and can be configured for control of step or servo motors on any combination of axes. The card-level controller measures just 4.25" x 7.0" for one through four-axis models and 4.25" x 10.75" for five through eight axes. Any mode of motion can be programmed including linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing and ecam. As with all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-21x3 is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools such as GalilTools for servo tuning and analysis, and the ActiveX Tool Kit for Visual Basic users.
