All Technosoft intelligent drives and motors now support CANopen. Embedding motion control, drive and PLC functionalities in a single compact unit, they cover all type of brushless, DC, linear or step motor applications from 25 W (45 V, 0.5 A) up to 3 kW (325 V, 10 A).
The motors (brushless and stepping) integrate power electronics, controller, position sensor and interface in one compact unit with basic local digital and analog I/O signals. These new generations of products offer the powerful CANopen communication option for motion automation builders that use the CANopen DSP 402 standard.
The popular CANopen protocol has emerged as the dominant CAN solution for motion control applications throughout the world, due to its low cost per node, simple wiring and extensive support.
Besides CANopen DS301 and DS402 profiles, CANopen drives/motors can execute complex motion programs directly on drive, using the high-level Technosoft motion language (TML). This greatly simplifies the master task: motion functions, pre-stored in the drive/motor memory, can be called or executed via I/O signals.
Compatible with EasyMotion Studio for quick configuration and motion programming at drive level, the CANopen drives/motors offer a flexible and easy to implement solution for a wide range of applications. The new firmware version supports the CANopen protocol for all products with CAN interface. Thus, by simple software configuration, you will get a CANopen version of your drive/motor.
