The GR-SYNC is a sophisticated and highly configurable motor controller designed for operating one or two brushed DC electric motors or actuators with encoders. When connecting two motors (of the same model) the controller will synchronise their positions with one-another, ideal for applications where pairs of actuators need to run square with one-another. It can operate both 12V and 24V motor systems. The positions of connected motors are constantly monitored, allowing the device to automatically slow down and stop the output in pre-configured positions, and also allowing the start and end positions to be digitally edited through the menus. Adjustable directional current limits can allow the controller to detect abnormal loads, stopping the output automatically to avoid damage when configured appropriately. By integrating an OLED display, the controller provides the many configuration setting menus, and live controller status information, right on the device without any interfacing accessories being required. Via the 6-pin connectors on the controller, many Gimson Robotics actuators such as the GLA3000-N and GLA-Q40 models, can plug straight in without cable modifications.
