Oriental Motor: High-Efficiency Motor and Driver Package Available with Built-in Controller

April 5, 2013
The AR Series is now available with built-in controller (stored data) featuring I/O, Modbus or EtherCAT (via a gateway converter) communications.

The Series uses the company's AlphaStep closed loop control along with lower heat generation for continuous duty. The built-in pulse generator allows the motor to be driven by a simple connection to a PLC or other devices. The burden on the PLC or touch screen (HMI) is reduced because the information necessary for the motor operation is built into the driver; this simplifies the system configuration for single or multi-axis control. Units are available with geared and brake options along with AC or DC input drivers. A 3-m (9.8-ft) cable comes standard. Frame sizes or geared options are available in 28 mm (1.10 in.), 42 mm (1.65 in.), 60 mm (2.36 in.) and 90 mm (3.54 in.).
