EZQUAD Servo 4-Axis Controller/Driver from AllMotion

EZQUAD Servo 4-Axis Controller/Driver from AllMotion4-Axis Brush or Brushless Servo Driver + Controller measuring only 2.25" x 2.25" x 1.0”!

AllMotion's EZQUAD Servo was designed to allow the rapid implementation of multi-axis servo motor solutions in products requiring automation.

Measuring only 2.25" x 2.25"  X 1.0" (57mm x 57mm X 25mm),  the fully intelligent servo motor Controller + Drivers runs 4 fully independent Brushed or BLDC servo motors. Operating from a 9V to 40V supply the controller regulates to any motor voltage via software command. (Eg 3V motor can be run with 24V supply). Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) or from the EZStepper Windows application.

The EZQuad Servo will drive 4 motors at 2.5 Amps each with a setting of move current m=50 %. However, with careful selection of motors and/or improved cooling and/or low move time duty cycle it is possible to run motors at 5 Amps at m=100%. 

The Commands are intuitive and simple. For example, the command A10000 will move the servo motor to Absolute position 10000. This communications protocol is compatible with devices that use the Cavro DT or OEM protocol.

The EZQuad 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 (i.e., only power is required in this mode). The Commands include nested loops and execution halt pending a switch closure, which is useful in stand-alone applications.

The EZQuad Servo Motor Controller will typically work with any motor that is 3" or smaller (NEMA34 or smaller). The starter kits enable a first time user to make servo motors move intelligently in less than half an hour.

EZQUAD Servo 4-Axis Controller/Driver Q & A

+ What is the EZQUADSERVO?
The EZQUADSERVO is a compact (2.25″ × 2.25″ × 1.0″) intelligent controller + driver designed to run four fully independent Brushed or BLDC servo motors, enabling rapid multi-axis automation.
+ What voltage and current specifications does it support?
It operates from 7 V to 40 V, and drives up to 2.5 A per motor at a default setting (50% move current)—with the potential to deliver up to 5 A per motor under ideal conditions (cooling, low duty cycle).
+ What types of motors are supported?
The controller supports Brushed DC and Brushless (BLDC) servo motors and regulates motor voltage via software, allowing compatibility even when supply voltage differs from motor rating.
+ Which communication interfaces are supported?
Built-in support for RS485, USB, CAN bus, and (indirectly) RS232 (via RS485-to-RS232 converter).
+ Can it operate without a PC?

Absolutely. It includes onboard EEPROM that lets you store command sequences for stand-alone operation—commands can include loops and halts based on switch closure.
