iPOS4808 MY-CAT-STO: universal drive with EtherCAT functionality
Technosoft is releasing iPOS4808 MY-CAT-STO, an intelligent drive with integrated motion controller offering 1kW of peak power in a compact and flexible design. Conceived as a plug-in option for multi-axis systems requiring accurate position control and an EtherCAT interface, the iPOS4808 MY-CAT-STO intelligent drive offers Safe Torque Off functionality via a dedicated HW implementation. This allows users to reduce the system's cost, while increasing the safety level of their application.
Due to its motor control architecture, the iPOS4808 represents a universal drive for any motor that fits its power ratings - 48V; 8A/20A. Either brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper or linear motors can be controlled by the drive that supports as well a variety of feedback types ranging from incremental TTL or sin/cos encoders to absolute SSI or BiSS position sensors. One drive for any motor technology brings a big advantage in terms of reducing the stock items as well as the implementation time, due to a user interface for all axes.
Another advantage is represented by the plug-in capability of the product that offers a large flexibility in terms of integration into the user's motherboard "" where the size, shape and connectors can be customised to respond exactly to the application requirements.
The iPOS4808 MY-CAT-STO is designed for high-end applications (e.g. dual-loop control), where its advanced control architecture, integrating up to nine digital filters, makes the difference in terms of motion control performance.
