EtherCAT Starter Kit for iPOS Drives

The new iPOS family of Technosoft intelligent drives offers a very compact and cost-effective solution for motor control. Using a modular concept, the iPOS drives accept interface plug-ins for EtherCAT or absolute position sensors.

The EtherCAT Starter Kit is a ready-to-run solution for testing an iPOS3604 VX or iPOS3602 VX drive via EtherCAT. It includes an I/O board to plug-in the drive and the EtherCAT interface and optionally, a brushless or step motor.

Based on the Technosoft MotionChip™ technology the new iPOS family of drives embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionalities into a single unit. The iPOS drives can operate as an EtherCAT slave with CoE protocol, or as a CiA402 CANopen drive without the EtherCAT extension module, or can be programmed to execute complex motion programs directly at drive level, using its built-in motion controller and the high level Technosoft motion language (TML). Using TML can substantially reduce a master task as this can simply call complex motion functions, pre-stored in the drive memory.

Features:
