Operator Panel with CANopen Interface provides Cost-effective HMI for Machine Builders
 |
Baldor Electric has added a compact IP65-rated operator panel with a CANopen interface to its range of motion control products. The operator panel provides machine designers and builders with a very cost-effective means of implementing simple human-machine interfaces. It is also a scalable control solution – an optional plug-in digital I/O module facilitates simple system expansion. |
Miniaturized Positioning Controller by Maxon
 |
maxon's New EPOS2 24/2 was developed specifically for commanding and controlling in the CANopen network. USB and RS232 are available as further communication interfaces. The variety of operating modes, such as position, velocity and current mode, means they can be used in automation technology, tool building and in mechatronic drive systems. There are also functions such as Step/Direction Mode for the incrementally controlled movement of the motor shaft or Master Encoder Mode for applying the drive as electronic gearing. |
Applied Motion Products builds on its CANopen range with the addition of the STAC6 CANopen
 |
Greenville, DE- Servo2Go has just added new CANopen models to its broad range of Programmable Stepper Motor Drive Systems from Applied Motion Products. The STAC6 Step Motor Drive has proven itself in demanding applications, such as packaging and labeling machines, delivering up to up to 1400 oz-in with AMPs compatible range of low-loss, high performance step motors. STAC6 drives are rated at 6A for the 110V version and 3.2A with the 220VAC version. |
Certified SIL CL 3 Encoder with CANopen Safety Interface
 |
The proven optical absolute encoders from POSITAL's OPTOCODE series are now also available as a safety version. The new addition to its product portfolio was developed in cooperation with the FRABA group sister company VITECTOR, which specializes in safety sensors. The new encoders fulfill the requirements of IEC 61508, EN 62061 and thus comply with the new Machinery Directive. Operated with protective extra low voltage (PELV), they are suitable for use in drive technology, lift applications, mobile machines, construction machinery and machine tools. |
