A new generation of smart drives is designed to offer economic and space-saving solutions for many common single-axis automation requirements.
MicroFlex e100 and MotiFlex e100 drives feature an Ethernet interface
compatible with the deterministic Ethernet-compatible motion control
standard, Powerlink. An onboard motion-control programming
capability—Mint Lite—is also standard. The drives are available in power
ratings up to 33.5A, with higher ratings coming soon, says the vendor.
The embedded Mint Lite capability supports a range of basic motion
programming requirements, including performing relative and absolute
moves S-ramp profiles, jog and homing movements, changing target
positions on the fly, registration moves, and reacting to real-time
trigger events. MicroFlex e100 and MotiFlex e100 drives come with
built-in I/O as standard, including fast latch inputs for registration
applications, plus CANopen manager capability to support distributed I/O
expansion and HMI interfacing.Baldor Electric Co.www.baldor.com479.646.4711
