The new Festo CMMT-ST servo drive starter kit offers a low-cost way to learn how to commission and size Festo’s multiprotocol family of servo drives that range from 300W DC up to 12kW AC. These kits contain a CMMT-ST 300W servo drive with integrated STO (safe torque off), an IP65 protected EMMT-ST stepper motor with battery-free multi-turn absolute encoder, motor cable and connectors. QR codes included with the developer’s starter kit link to the Festo Automation Suite software for commissioning and Electric Motion Sizing software for sizing components used in the application. All Festo CMMT-ST DC and CMMT-AS AC servo drives are compatible with EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, Profinet and Modbus TCP protocols.
