Material Composition:
- Housing: Aluminum die-cast with powder-coat finish
- PCB: 6-layer FR-4, conformal coated, gold-plated edge connector
- Connectors: M23 and M12 industrial-grade
- Power Stage: Integrated IGBT modules per axis
Structural Features:
- DIN rail or panel mount
- Single unit replaces: PLC + servo drive + motion controller
- M23 motor connectors per axis
- LED status per axis + system fault LED
- USB port for commissioning and firmware update
Working Principle:
Real-time EtherCAT master sends setpoints to internal servo loops. Each axis runs independent FOC (current → velocity → position) at up to 16 kHz. Encoder feedback closes position loop. EtherCAT distributes I/O to remote modules. Motion programs executed in real-time on onboard processor (ARM Cortex-A8).
Key Advantages:
- All-in-one — eliminates separate drive + controller + cable harness
- EtherCAT native — up to 1,000 I/O points on single cable
- 16 kHz servo loop — match or exceed dedicated drives
- IEC 61131-3 + C/C++ — flexible programming for machine builders
- Compact — saves cabinet space vs. separate components
Applicable Industries:
- Machine tool builders (OEM)
- Packaging machine OEMs
- Robotics OEMs
- Test and measurement systems
- Custom automation
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on DIN 35mm rail or panel with 4× M4 screws
- Torque to 2.5 Nm
- Minimum 50mm clearance above for ventilation
- EtherCAT cable: shielded CAT5e/CAT6, max 100m between devices
- 24VDC supply: min. 2A for controller + I/O
Usage Precautions:
- Do not mix motor voltage ratings across axes on same bus
- Each axis encoder type must be configured in software before power-on
- Update firmware via Kollmorgen Workbench before first commissioning
- Do not exceed 2.5A continuous per axis — thermal protection will trigger
- Backup motion program to USB drive before any parameter change
