It is developed in partnership with Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PCR 56\/06 EC SD developer kit for BLDC control is fully compatible with Portescap\u2019s BLDC motor range, ensuring seamless and rapid integration. It features a user-friendly Windows-based software suite with autotuning capabilities, significantly reducing setup times from days to hours. Additionally, the system includes C-based command sets for flexible and reusable programming, minimising engineering effort and fostering innovation. With a power supply of up to 56V and a continuous current capability of 5.5A, along with Hall sensor and encoder feedback options, the PCR 56\/06 EC SD meets various application requirements with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A standout feature of this solution is the module-only option, which allows the controller to be mounted directly onto the application\u2019s PCB. This facilitates a smooth transition from prototyping to series production, offering a cost-effective solution by leveraging initial development efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PCR 56\/06 EC SD is suited for a wide range of markets, including aerospace, automation, industrial power tools, medical, and robotics. Specific applications that will greatly benefit from this controller include bionics and exoskeleton systems, electric grippers, medical pipettes and lab automation, seat and valve actuation, and surgical robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image 1: Portescap\u2019s new PCR 56\/06 EC SD motion control solution, developed in partnership with Performance Motion Devices (PMD), is fully compatible with Portescap\u2019s BLDC motor range, ensuring seamless and rapid integration across diverse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PCR 56\/06 EC SD \u2013 an integrated hardware and software package for single-axis control of brushless DC motors from Portescap.
