ATOMI
Peace of mind single board multi-axis servo & stepper drive
ATOMI reduces motion control system complexity to the bare minimum. The concept of ATOMI is to combine all the essential components of motion controller into a single board. In a typical installation, just add single DC power supply and motors of your choice and you’re good to go for controlling motors via direct USB interface. Controlling may be realized with open source SimpleMotion library on the platform of your choice – Windows®, Linux®, macOS® or Raspberry Pi®.

See how GraniteCore powered ATOMI drive changes the way servo & stepping motors are controlled in 2018
- Build low cost multiaxis systems
Chain IONICUBE motherboards to form 1 to 32 axis systems. Install them centralized or distributed to near motors.
- Advantage of high dynamic range torque control
One drive to rule them all - thanks to High Dynamic Range Torque control, IONI seamlessly drives motors from 5 W to 500 W with ultimate smoothness
- Eliminate axis limit switches
Internal axis homing function with sensorless hard-stop detection mode and soft travel limits eliminates the need of physical end-of-travel switches and their wiring
- Relax, you can rely on it
Device protections include over current, short circuit, over voltage, under voltage, over temperature and I2t protections and communication error detection
The value of simplicity
ATOMI reduces the number of motion control components to the bare minimum. A typical PC controlled multi-axis system can be implemented by using direct USB compatible SimpleMotion interface to the servo drives.
Motion commands to ATOMI drive can be delivered in many formats and from many sources, such as PC, microcontroller (i.e. Arduino, MBED and OEM boards) or embedded computers like Raspberry Pi. ATOMI understands several forms of setpoint commands:
- Step & direction digital signals (typical stepper drive interface, good for position control)
- USB with SimpleMotion interface, open source library available
- Optional add-on board interface for user I/O and control network expansions
Real-time requirements? Not one of your problems.
Implement your multi-axis motion control application with SimpleMotion buffered motion stream API and break free from the need of real-time motion controller.
User application just fills-up drive buffers with position setpoints and drives will run the commands synchronously based on their internal precision clocks. This allows host motion controller to be just an ordinary non-realtime PC application.
Best of all? Everything can be done over omnipresent USB or RS485 port.
If hard real-time control is required, SimpleMotion bus also supports instantenous commands up to 20 kHz command rate.
