This EZ Servo was designed to allow the rapid implementation of DC Brush motor solutions in products requiring automation. The EZSV10's fully intelligent controllers measure just 0.95 in. x 1.4 in. and require little or no tuning when used with most motors measuring less than 1.5 in. in diameter. A single four wire bus containing two power wires and two communications wires links up to 16 such DC motors in a daisy chain.
Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program, or from the EZ Servo/Stepper Windows application. The commands are intuitive and simple. For example, the command A10000 will move the Servo motor to Absolute position 10000. The EZ Servo is also capable of stand alone operation with no connection to a PC. It can be set to execute a preset string of commands upon power-up. The commands include nested loops and execution halt pending a switch closure, which is useful in stand alone applications.
