UDMnt Universal Single & Dual-Axis Drive Modules for EtherCAT Networks

ACS Motion Control has developed an EtherCAT slave Universal Drive Module that directly drives one or two axes. Designated the UDMnt, the Universal Drive Module operates as an EtherCAT slave device to any SPiiPlus EtherCAT master controller. The SPiiPlus UDMnt supports AC servo, DC brushless, DC brush, closed and open loop 2 and 5-phase step motors. In addition, many UDMnt devices can be linked together on a network, allowing up to 32 axes of fully coordinated control.

The SPiiPlus UDMnt is available in a 5, 10, or 20 A peak current rating up to 60V DC bus voltage, and has dedicated encoder and limit inputs as well as general purpose I/O and robust fault protection. The drive performs real-time control of position, velocity, and current at a 20kHz update rate for each axis.
