The integrated closed-loop control method offers the highest dynamic performance and position accuracy, prevents step losses, and ensures maximum smoothness even under varying load conditions. A so-called torque mode is also available, in which the stepper motor applies an adjustable torque without movement.

The series is available in two versions with 2.1 Nm and 3.0 Nm holding torque.

Technische Highlights

• Closed loop stepper motor – Prevents step losses and ensures precise position feedback.
• High-resolution 16-bit encoder – For precise and fast position control.
• Load-dependent current control – Optimizes energy consumption and reduces heat generation.
• Stand-alone or host operation – Operation can be controlled either independently (customer-specific sequence control) or via CANopen.
• Versatile interfaces – CANopen (optional USB or RS-485) for easy system integration.
• PLC-compatible I/Os – Short-circuit-proof digital and analog inputs and outputs (24 V / 0-10 V).
• Flexible connection options – Crimp, push-in, M8, or M12 connectors for industrial integration.
• Standard mounting – 60 x 60 mm motor flange in NEMA 24 standard.
• Optional metal housings – Available in various IP protection classes for EMC-compliant operation.

MEV Elektronik presents CambridgeIC’s innovative new range of resonant inductive Linear Sensors Type B. These sensors combine robustness, precision, reliability, and low cost, thanks to their manufacture using a conventional PCB process.

The new Linear Sensors Type B incorporate special coil designs from CambridgeIC. Currently available designs support measuring lengths of 40 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm, and 200 mm. Each sensor includes an excitation coil to energize the target, coarse sensor coils to establish absolute position, and fine sensor coils for precision and accuracy.

Efficient and Flexible Manufacturing

A key benefit of this design is that customers can manufacture the sensors themselves using design data provided by CambridgeIC. This approach helps to reduce production costs while maintaining full control over manufacturing.

The sensors detect the position of a moving, contactless target, which is also realised as a PCB comprising a resonant circuit with a printed coil and capacitor(s). This resonant target design generates substantially stronger signals than conventional inductive sensors, enabling high resolution, superior accuracy, wide operating gaps, and calibration-free operation.

Advanced Signal Processing with CAM622

The signal processing of the Linear Sensors Type B is handled by CambridgeIC’s CAM622 Resonant Inductive Position Encoder IC. The CAM622 provides:

• SPI interface, delivering typically 1 μm noise-free resolution and full absolute position
• Quadrature ABN interface, configurable down to 2 μm AB edge resolution
• Newly announced BiSS-C interface support (BiSS is a trademark of iC-Haus GmbH).

With these features, CambridgeIC’s Linear Sensors Type B offer the speed and resolution of other encoders, but at a lower cost and with greater robustness and environmental immunity. Installation is straightforward, requiring only normal engineering tolerances and no special alignment.

Advantages over Magnetic Encoders

In contrast to magnetic linear encoders, the new Linear Sensors Type B provide absolute position feedback at power-on, operate with narrow track widths, and do not attract magnetic swarf, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging industrial environments.

Key applications

• High-speed closed-loop motion control
• Linear motor feedback and commutation
• Valve position sensing
• Steering rack position sensing in vehicles
• Replacement of optical and magnetic position encoders

Evaluation Tools and Accessories

To support evaluation and development, CambridgeIC offers a comprehensive range of accessories:

• CAM622 MultiComms Board: including the CAM622 processor and supporting SPI, BiSS-C, SENT, and quadrature ABN interfaces.
• MultiComms Adapter: connects to a PC over USB and to a CAM622 via SPI, BiSS-C, or SENT. It allows PC-based operation of CambridgeIC CAM622 software for measurements and configuration of quadrature ABN and BiSS-C interfaces.
• MultiComms Bundle: includes both the MultiComms Board and Adapter.

For evaluation purposes, MEV Elektronik offers sample sensors, targets, connecting cables, and MultiComms Bundles directly.

MEV presents the FU6866 BLDC controller IC from Fortior Technology. It integrates state-of-the-art High Frequency Injection (HFI) technology to ensure high torque even at low speeds, setting new standards in motor control applications.

Significance & Innovation: HFI (High Frequency Injection) in the FU6866

High Frequency Injection technology allows for precise rotor position determination using high-frequency signals, even with very little or no movement. This means:

• Higher torque at low speed – ideal for applications where the motor is operated under load from standstill
• Reliable sensorless startup at heavy loads
• Robust sensorless control even where conventional methods (e.g., back EMF) do not provide sufficient signal evaluation
• Stable control and smooth transition between standstill and motion
• Reduced sensor hardware requirements – because the rotor position can be obtained directly through the injection process

Thanks to this feature, the FU6866 is particularly suitable for torque-critical applications during start-up, for systems with frequent changes between standstill and movement, and for compact motor controller solutions where additional sensors are impractical.

• Supported control methods: FOC (Field-Oriented Control), trapezoidal and sine PWM, with and without sensors
• Analog and digital peripherals: 12-bit ADCs, PGAs, comparators, DACs, timers, PWM generators
• Communication interfaces: SPI, I²C, UART, LIN, CAN
• Flash memory: 32 KB with CRC integrity check
• AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified: suitable for automotive applications
• Supply: 6,5 – 18 V, internal LDO + up to 180V for driver
• Package: QFN-56 (7 × 7 mm)

The combination of advanced control technology, HFI capability and high integration makes the FU6866 a powerful alternative to conventional motor control solutions.
