Current and speed controllers
Easy to use, high performance.
The ESCON2 and ESCON product line and the 1-Q DEC modules can be used in a wide range of drive systems, offer a perfect price-performance ratio, and are easy to use.
Efficient and dynamic.
Our servo controllers are optimized for DC and BLDC motors with up to 1'800 W continuous power. The compact 4-Q controllers of the ESCON2 and ESCON series meet the highest requirements with regard to power and speed accuracy. For simpler speed control applications of BLDC motors with Hall sensors, we also offer attractively priced 1-Q servo amplifiers with a modular design.

ESCON2
Current and speed control at its best.
Compact, powerful 4-quadrant PWM servo controllers for the efficient control of DC and BLDC motors with up to 1'800 watts continuous power.
- Control:
FOC (sinusoidal commutation) and feed forward for optimised and efficient control - Several operating modes:
Speed controller and current controller - Command functions:
CANopen, serial interface as well as analog and digital signals - Configuration & diagnostics:
Fully configurable I/O functions and options with Motion Studio software - Safety:
Configurable protection against overcurrents, excess temperatures, undervoltages and overvoltages, voltage transients, and short circuits
Motion Studio
Software included.
'This further developed, intuitive graphical user interface features easy-to-use, menu-guided wizards and tools and can be run on any Windows PC with a USB interface. This makes configuring, operating and analysing even the most complex drive systems easier than ever before (Windows 11 & 10 only).
Remark: For ESCON2 Micro 60/5 (P/N 809631), documentation and firmware file for Motion Studio configuration are not yet included in the installer package and therefore need to be downloaded from the webshop.
ESCON
