Motors & Drives reducing wiring and installation costs while at the same time increasing system communications and integrity. Crouzet's CANopen interface permits connection of up to 127 brushless DC motors with a single, shielded two-wire cable. Data may be transmitted at speeds up to 125 kBd at distances more than 550 yards. At lower baud rates, the transmission distance can exceed three miles, making communications flexible to virtually any location. Under the communications protocol, motors can be controlled separately or together with high accuracy. A feature of Crouzet's Brushless DC motors with CANopen is that they can operate over a wide voltage range, withstanding up to 80 volts DC regenerative energy. In addition, these CANopen enabled motors utilize two safety inputs to cut down power in the motor even if the microprocessor has failed. Motor Drive Analyzer Complete Motor Drive System Debug and Validation in One Instrument Embedded fieldbus control brings a number of other advantages that include integral protection for maximum life in severe environments, excellent reliability of data transmission, and immunity to external noise and vibration. Crouzet's Brushless DC motors with CANopen interface are well suited for use in a variety of demanding applications ranging from medical, transportation, food service and precision agricultural equipment to packaging machinery, solar tracking, defense and industrial automation. Kollmorgen Releases Next Generation of Stepper Motors: Broader Range of Frame Sizes, High-Performance Motors Kollmorgen has introduced the next generation of stepper motors, the PMX series, adding smaller 08, 11, and 14 frame sizes to the traditional 17, 23 and 34 frame size offering. Due to a wider range of sizes and options, OEMs now have added flexibility to meet multiple performance and application needs from a single motion source. Each frame size is built with high quality construction, which translates to reliability in the field and long service life. Localized Kollmorgen support offers access to immediate technical expertise for design optimization. Kollmorgen's flexible manufacturing means seamless co-engineering capabilities - customizing shafts or adding encoders, gearboxes, allowing for easier integration into both new and existing applications. View our webinar New Test Capabilities for Motor Drive Three-Phase and Mechanical Power Analysis at teledynelecroy.com/3-phase-power Kollmorgen offers competitive lead times for both standard and custom motors. Short lead times speed up product development and design testing, reducing delays and overall costs. Kollmorgen's competitive pricing means that OEMs no longer have to make tradeoffs on motor quality, performance or technical support to obtain lower costs.
