Network control of multiple motors

Accelnet Micro servo amplifiers drive servo-positioning motors in automation systems. Small in size, they fit right on the electronic circuit boards of automation systems, obviating the need for additional PCBs and support hardware. Each motor in a multi-axis system can be driven by a servo amplifier, with all motors linked and controlled through a two-wire CANopen network.

Accelnet Micro servo amplifiers drive servo-positioning motors in automation systems. Small in size, they fit right on the electronic circuit boards of automation systems, obviating the need for additional PCBs and support hardware. Each motor in a multi-axis system can be driven by a servo amplifier, with all motors linked and controlled through a two-wire CANopen network. Device’s all-digital operation choreographs sinusoidal drive current sequences for field-oriented control (FOC) of brushless motors. FOC lets brushless servo motors deliver optimally flat torque-speed performance without rolloff at higher speeds. www.copleycontrols.com Copley Controls Corp.
