koco Motion presents the next generation with the EM_S stepper motordrivern, which are controlled via the clock-direction interface. They offer better setting options, are even easier to use and have better performance than their predecessors. Drivers for the factory of the future are available with either a CAN open or EtherCAT interface.
Improved DIP switches offer more setting options: 5 V or 24 V inputs can be set using slide switches. Operators of older generations in particular will be happy about this, because the 24 V outputs could often only be processed via series resistors. If you didn't do this, the driver was damaged. Anti-resonance properties ensure optimal torque. This results in a particularly smooth, low-vibration movement and the stepper motor runs more quietly. Thanks to a new function for automatic holding current reduction, the stepper motor consumes less energy and heats up less.
Stepper motor with hollow shaft for maintenance-free continuous operation
Different stepper motor sizes can be configured automatically. The stepper motor drivers allow a soft start of the stepper motor, which does not require a switch-on movement. There is a digital output for errors and from the EM5 design there is an additional output for controlling a Brake be available. The integrated overvoltage and overcurrent protection device ensures reliable operation.
The EM-CAN series consists of a stepper motor driver with CANopen communication bus. They support the CiA 402 standard protocol and are compatible with the corresponding CANopen master controllers. These stepper motors have excellent performance and can drive 2 phase Nema 8, 11, 14, 17, 23, 24 and Nema 34 frame size stepper motors.
Intelligent CNC control for new + old machine tools
The new EtherCAT controls support the open-loop and closed-loop operation of stepper motors - simply and inexpensively. The EtherCAT controllers are available in different sizes for different drive sizes. Up to seven configurable inputs and outputs can be easily integrated into existing systems. They support the following operating modes: Profile Position (PP), Profile Velocity (PV), Homing (HM) and Cyclic Synchronous Position (CSP).
