Servo Drive Adds EtherCAT Connectivity

Via FPGA technology, the Accelnet servo drive now includes an EtherCAT interface and expands motor feedback and input/output options. Encoder interfaces include EnDat, Hiperface, and BiSS. Available in six current ratings, the Accelnet drives a wide range of brushless and brush motors. Several DC supply options are also available in the 20V to 180V range. The drive panel mounts and can operate as an EtherCAT slave. Control modes include camming, gearing, and a programmable indexer. Single-unit price for the Accelnet servo drive with EtherCAT interface is $719. For further information, call COPLEY CONTROLS CORP., Canton, MA. (781) 828-8090.
