Servo Motor Systems support EtherCAT and Profinet protocols.

Press Release Summary:




Supporting both standard and high pole count commutation, Class 6 SmartMotors deliver fully closed-loop PID control. PID rate is fixed at 62.5 µs with 64 K user program memory and large Cam point memory space for cam tables to >3K points. In addition to dual port Ethernet, SmartMotors include RS-485 half duplex communications port and USB interface for programming, configuration, and live diagnostics. Units provide full floating-point math and trigonometric functions with 32-bit precision results.



Original Press Release:



Introducing the New Class 6 Industrial Ethernet SmartMotors in Both Standard and High Pole Count Versions



These new Class 6 SmartMotors have a new powerful processor that operates at nearly twice the processor speed of Class 5. The PID rate is fixed at 62.5useconds with 64K User program memory (twice that of prior SmartMotors) and larger Cam point memory space for cam tables to >3K points.



These SmartMotors are able to support Standard Industrial Ethernet protocols including: EtherCATand PROFINET. Able to support both standard and high pole count commutation, these products deliver fully closed-loop PID control. Class 6 also features a dedicated high current brake output control.



Key Features:

Dual Port Ethernet (no Ethernet switches or hubs required)

USB interface for programming, configuration and live diagnostics

RS-485 Half Duplex communications port

Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Slave (RS-485)

Full floating-point math and trigonometric functions with 32-bit precision results

Dual trajectory generators enabling relative and absolute position moves or velocity moves on top of gearing or camming

Advanced gearing, allowing preset traverse and take-up winding parameters, including dwells and wrap counts

Advanced camming including cubic spline interpolation and dynamic frequency and amplitude changes

Virtual-axis mastering into camming through gearing which enables stand-alone; multi-axis coordinated motion

Programmable and non-programmable protection features (both hardware and software)

On Board local I/O including:

Drive Enable Input

Fault Output

Travel Limit inputs

Differential Encoder bus up to 500k Hz count rate

4 General Use inputs

1 High Speed Input

1 High current output (may be used for external brake)
