ICP DAS USA Releases New Motionnet Motion Control

LOS ANGELES - Jan. 11, 2018 - PRLog -- ICP DAS USA introduces the new MN-SERVO-xxx-EC series. The MN-SERVO-xxx-EC series expands the number of axes for distributed motion control on a Motionnet field bus. These extension slave modules can be directly connect to the servo driver and are serially connected to the controller using a simple and affordable Cat.5 LAN cable, reducing the amount of wiring required between the drivers and the controller, making this a highly suitable solution for integrated machine automation applications.

After the module is connected to the servo driver, all you need to do is connect a serial LAN cable between the modules. One serial line can support up to 64 single-axis modules. ICP DAS provides a variety of motion control modules suitable for a range of brands of servo drivers, such as Mitsubishi MELSERVO-J3/J4, Yaskawa Sigma II/III/V, Panasonic MINAS A4/A5, Delta ASDA-A/A2 and Teco TSTA-A/A+.

Motionnet comprises of a high-speed serial communication system that involves Master card and Slave modules. ICP DAS USA has two categories of Slave devices: Digital I/O, and Motion Control. Users' actuators/sensors can be easily connected with our Motionnet devices. Motion control modules work together with either a Servo or Stepping motor. Motionnet communication between a Master and the Slaves devices is based on RS-485 technology (Multi-drop, Half-duplex). This technology provides the advantage of simplifying connectivity of devices between remote distances while still offering high speed. Data transfer for the I/O modules is cyclical and time deterministic, so this mean that Motionnet devices can be used for other numerous industrial automation applications.
