Series of drives and motors with EtherCAT communications utilizes StepSERVO technology, which combines the high torque capabilities of step motors with the closed loop dynamic control of servo systems.
The result is a motor and drive solution that operates more quietly and efficiently, while providing greater torque and higher acceleration rates than traditional step motor systems.
EtherCAT is a high performance industrial Ethernet network designed for real-time control in automation environments. New StepSERVO Drives and Motors support CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE) control, allowing them to be integrated into new and existing EtherCAT networks.
Features:
- EtherCAT communications built-in with support for CiA 402 operating modes including Profile Position, Profile Velocity, Profile Torque, Cyclic Synchronous Position, Cyclic Synchronous Velocity
- StepSERVO closed loop stepper technology featuring space vector current control
- Peak torques for greater acceleration and throughput
- Higher efficiency, lower power consumption than open loop step motors
- Motor frame sizes NEMA 11, 17, 23, 24 and 34
- Each drive provides 8 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs, and 2 analog inputs for interfacing to sensors, switches, and other external signals
