The DVC series motor controllers from Advanced Motion Controls are digital four-quadrant servo drives purpose-designed and built to operate today’s modern mobile electric vehicular platforms. Providing high power from battery supplies, the DVC series features a compact design, IP65 construction and multiple operating modes for controlling either permanent magnet brushed or brushless motors. Whether for traction / propulsion, steering, lifting or any other electrically driven actuation, the DVC series is the newest member in a long line of successful motor controlling solutions from Advanced Motion Controls.
The ability to maximize battery life and extend vehicle operations, essentially running ‘lean and mean’, is the key to keeping a vehicle operating at peak performance. With unmatched power density, high efficiency, low weight, cool thermal operation and regen all built in, selecting the DVC series is the obvious choice.
The DVC Series motor controllers operate in torque, velocity, or position mode and provide high power from battery supplies with multiple operating modes for either 3Φ (servo, closed loop vector, or closed loop stepper) or 1Φ motors. The DVC Series communicate over CANopen and are configured with AMC’s DriveWare® 7 configuration software.

Comparing CANopen and EtherCAT FieldBus Networks September 23, 2013
Posted by Servo2Go.com in Technical Support Information.Tags: CANopen, EtherCAT, RS232, RS422, RS485
1 comment so far
Servo2Go offers a variety of network options for connecting servo drives in a multi-axis configurations. Choosing the right network depends on a variety of factors such as required bandwidth, update rate, performance, and cost. The network options supported in AMC Digiflex Performance servo drives are outlined below.
CANopen (CAN)
A robust serial protocol that is low cost and offers enhanced diagnostic and control capabilities with reasonable bandwidth. Digiflex Performace CANopen drives also support RS232 as a secondary communication channel. DriveWare software can run over the RS232 channel during operation to monitor quantities in real time making system design and commissioning fast. Visit http://www.can-cia.org/ for more information. Some of the strengths of CANopen are:
- 3-wire bus is all that is needed to connect drives together (CAN_H, CAN_L and GND).
- Differential transmission for noise immunity.
- Up to 1Mbit/sec speeds possible.
- Up to 128 nodes per CAN network.
- Robust message arbitration with collision detection/prevention built into the physical layer.
- Many microcontrollers have built in CAN ports.
- CAN Hardware for many different platforms readily available (Desktop, PC/104, etc.)
- Many different operating systems supported (Windows, VxWorks, Linnux)
- Bi-directional (non-polled) communication possible.
- PVT – Position,Velocity Time trajectory interpolated by the drive from points sent by the host. Reduces overhead at the host. Countless trajectories possible.
- Coordinated motion capabilities.
How Fast Can Messages Be Sent? The average CAN message is 130 bits, so it takes 130μsec per message PER NODE to physically send out a message. Different CAN message types improve on this time, but update rates close to 1Khz are possible.
RS232 (serial)
An economical single-axis solution that offers reasonable diagnostics better suited toward low-bandwidth applications. All AMC Digiflex Performance servo drives support this communication interface.
- Many PCs have serial port hardware. No extra host hardware needed.
- Simple 3 wire bus (TX, RX, and GND).
- Speeds up to 115.2K baud are possible.
How Fast Is RS232? – RS232 messages can be longer than CAN. A read command to a 16-bit index takes 8 databytes (64 bits / 115.2K = 560μsec). The reply is another 12 bytes (96 bits / 115.2kK = 834μsec). Total message time (both command and reply is 560μsec + 834μsec = 1.3msec. The result is much slower than a 1Mbit/s CAN bus.
RS422/RS485
An economical multi-axis solution that yields reasonable diagnostics and control capabilities at higher bandwidths than RS232.
- Can support multiple nodes (up to 32)
- Operates at speeds higher than RS232 (115.2K) baud (921.6K) possible with host hardware supporting it.
- Full-Duplex (RS485 4-wire only) or Half-Duplex (RS422 2-wire).
How fast can I go with RS485? – Max speed is 921.6K baud. RS485 messages can be longer than CAN. A read command to a 16-bit index takes 8 databytes (64 bits / 921.6K = 70μsec). The reply is another 12 bytes (96 bits / 921.6K = 104μsec). Total message time (both command and reply is 70μsec + 104μsec = 174μsec. This is almost as fast as a 1Mbit/s CAN bus.
EtherCAT™
A high-performance Ethernet based deterministic network protocol developed by Beckhoff. Visit the EtherCAT Technology Group http://www.ethercat.org for more information. Some important features of EtherCAT are:
- Transmission rates up to 200Mbit/sec.
- Based off standard Ethernet for 100baseT.
- Real-time down to the I/O level.
- Multiple topologies possible – Line, Star, Tree, Daisy Chain + Drop Lines. Can be used in any combination.
- Requires no special Ethernet hardware – Standard Network Interface Cards (NIC) can be used for EtherCAT.
- CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE) allows use of CANopen protocol and feature set over EtherCAT.
- Off-the-shelf EtherCAT masters available that implement full language features of IEC 61131.
- Open protocol – Designers can implement their own EtherCAT master.
- Secondary USB port for direct connection to DriveWare. Can monitor quantities using Driveware without interrupting over EtherCAT.
How Fast Is EtherCAT?
EtherCAT is based off 100BaseT physical layer and can send multiple datagrams per EtherCAT packet. Cycle times can reach lower than 1msec.

Expanded PCB Mount Servo Drives from AMC March 3, 2011
Posted by Servo2Go.com in News & Events.Tags: CANopen, Motion Control, Motor Controller, Servo Amplifier, Servo Systems
add a comment
ADVANCED Motion Controls, of Camarillo, CA USA expands it’s highly successful PCB mount, Z-drive servo amplifier family. New digital ‘DZ’ products are now available with higher power, greater thermal efficiency and lower operating voltages. Network choices, fast baud rates and multiple stand-alone command options greatly increase these servo drives’ capabilities for all torque, velocity and position mode applications. Designed to be completely compact, DZ’s take up little space, eliminate wiring hassle and still deliver unparalleled performance. Check out the newly expanded global standard in PCB mount servos drives – the fully digital DZ series!
AMC's DZ Servo Amplifier
Highlighting just a few of the features of these very capable servo drives:
- Considered µ-sized, DZ’s have an incredibly small footprint (smaller than a business card!) and weigh a mere 100 grams or less, including heat sink!
- All DZ’s can be configured to operate in torque, velocity (encoder or Hall) and position modes for brushed, voice coil or brushless motors.
- DZ’s have extremely high current loop bandwidth for quick response times as needed or when used in critical or demanding applications.
- DZ networks include CANopen or RS-232/485 (up to ~1 Mbaud!). Input commands can come over the network, such as PVT (position/velocity/time) or through direct inputs for: ±10V analog, Encoder Following, Step & Direction, PWM & Direction – to operate any mode.
- Some DZ’s capacity includes 10 – 80 Vdc operation while delivering 4 Amps continuous / 40 Amps peak. This provides up to 3 kW peak power when needed and can achieve up to 98% efficiency!
- DZ’s have an optional mounting card available for quick prototyping and documented interface reference designs for quick circuit integration.
- DZ’s common PCB pin out platform allows OEM’s to design to any power capacity but choose from the smallest power size to largest power size, everything from today’s available products to even higher powered future release versions!
With multiple product choices, implementing DZ’s increased product functionality to meet many application needs will result in a dramatic reduction of system complexity. Yet, DZ’s are also cost-effective by themselves to further minimize overall system costs.
As more applications require smaller mounting spaces or become completely mobile, designing with DZ’s would be the perfect match and choice. High power density, high operating efficiencies and low cost, what more could you ask for?
