What is an integrated servo motor
Release Date : 2020-04-27 15:48:43
The integrated servo motor, as the name suggests, is a servo motor that integrates the motor, encoder, and driver into one.




The integrated servo motor is a servo system developed based on the DC low-voltage power supply method, using permanent magnet synchronous motor and FOC drive mode. At the same time, it supports EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus and other bus mode control, which has higher integration advantages.
 

1. Features

 
1. Adopting EtherCAT / CANopen protocol (DS402), can carry out complex multi-axis servo parallel high-speed collaborative control, exquisite and flexible, and can realize small-scale automation of mechanical equipment. The DS402 protocol is a motion specification supported by mainstream drivers and controllers in the world, and has good interchangeability.
 
2. Wide voltage input (16 ~ 52VDC), can also use battery power supply.
 
3. Integrated single-turn absolute value encoder, zero point memory within limited range; integrated I / O, can be set to positive limit, negative limit, origin, multi-function digital output, pulse input detection.


 

Provide customizable services, customize the features of multiple sports modes: dual-wheel differential drive mode, wheel slip alarm, etc.
For more function parameters, please check the PMM series integrated servo motor.

The integrated servo motor adopts the integrated design of drive + coding + motor + a small number of cables, which makes the drive and motor adaptation more perfect, eliminating the matching process between the drive and the motor, and enabling rapid deployment without the bloated control cabinet design, which reduces The cost.
At the same time, the PMM series integrated servo motor has 4 sets of wave trap parameter settings, which can effectively suppress resonance.
 

Summarize the characteristics of the integrated servo motor:

1. Compact: highly integrated, save space and reduce cables
2. Easy to use: wide voltage input, integrated IO, EtherCAT / CANopen protocol
3. Low cost: no control cabinet, quick installation and selection, fast matching
