MAX22216: Software-Defined Linear Actuation
Solenoids are probably the world’s most common industrial control actuator, but it’s been too difficult to run closed-loop control on them until now. If you wanted to be sure that your solenoid had moved (or returned) after a command, you had to put expensive and hard-to-configure external sensors on it (and keep those same sensors calibrated).
If the budget didn’t allow this, then you’d stay on the safe side and add a safety factor on the coil’s drive current through a relay, switch, or similar PLC channel.
MAX22216 gives you software-configurable flexibility that can work with practically any solenoid, in both AC or DC construction. It uses ADI Trinamic’s world-leading motor hardware control to turn the drive circuit into a sensor that reads the plunger’s motion through the coil.
Even better, MAX22216’s position feedback means this valve controller is flexible throughout its service life. Instead of setting performance with configuration resistors or DIP switches, you can tune behavior on the fly whenever you want, from your plant control system.
