Moog: Class 6 Industrial Ethernet SmartMotors

Sept. 8, 2014
Available in standard and high pole count versions, the motors have a new processor that operates at nearly twice the processor speed of Class 5.

The PID rate is fixed at 62.5µs with 64K user program memory (twice that of prior SmartMotors) and larger cam point memory space for cam tables to >3K points. The motors support standard Industrial Ethernet protocols including: EtherCAT and PROFINET. They also feature a dedicated high current brake output control. Key features include dual port Ethernet (no Ethernet switches or hubs required); a USB interface for programming, configuration and live diagnostics; an RS-485 half duplex communications port; Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Slave (RS-485); full floating-point math and trigonometric functions with 32-bit precision results; dual trajectory generators that make possible relative and absolute position moves or velocity moves on top of gearing or camming; and advanced gearing that allows preset traverse and take-up winding parameters, including dwells and wrap counts. Other features include advanced camming including cubic spline interpolation and dynamic frequency and amplitude changes; virtual-axis mastering into camming through gearing which enables stand-alone; multi-axis coordinated motion, and programmable and non-programmable protection features (both hardware and software)
