Round Mercury Servo Drive

Digital servo drive for DC brushed and brushless motors

Overview
Round Mercury is a high performance closed loop motor controller and driver for DC brushed and brushless motors, capable to drive motors up to 400W peak (200W continuous). Its design includes multiple communication ports, enabling thus a wide choice of interfacing methods. Its voltage operating range allows its use in industry or robotics applications, and the compact design allows the controller to be a valid OEM for critical-size applications. The design also includes a wide variety of self protection mechanisms (thermal, over-current, under and over-voltage, etc.). Other main features are the free user-programmable firmware updates and the inclusion of a motion control API for C/C++.
