Seamless Motor Identification from B&R
B&R Industrial Automation has announced the latest enhancement to its family of servo, synchronous, and torque motors: the embedded parameter chip. This integrated chip stores pertinent mechanical and electronic motor data such as serial number, type, parameters, and manufacturer specifications making the entire power transmission system clearly identifiable in the application program.The drive reads the motor data from the encoder. With this data the encoder automatically determines the current control paramaters to guarantee optimal control of the motor. This substantially reduces the time and resources required for manual entry of ...

High-speed MODBUS with Integrated Servo Motors from JVL
JVL Industri Elektronik A/S now offers yet another feature: The latest firmware for the integrated servo motors MAC400 and MAC800 now supports the MODBUS RTU protocol.The implementation supports the Read Holding Registers and Write Multiple Registers commands, which will give R/W access to all motor registers at speeds up to 1 Mbit/s, though typically the PC standard rates of 9600..115200 and 230400 bits/s would be used.The implementation uses the original V1.1 version of the MODBUS protocol for maximum compatibility. For systems requiring a 2-wire RS-485, the MAC00-P4 interface module is used. ...

New DC Motors from AutomationDirect
Cumming, GA --- AutomationDirect’s new IronHorse™ permanent magnet DC 56C-frame motor line features totally enclosed non-vented (TENV) and totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) models. The motors are constructed of a rolled steel frame with cast aluminum end bell, and are available in sizes ranging from .33 to 2HP. IronHorse DC motors are ideal for applications such as conveyors, turntables, and whenever adjustable speed, constant torque, dynamic braking and reversing capabilities are needed.IronHorse DC motors, with a base 1800 RPM, are designed for use on unfiltered SCR (Thyristor) type 115 or 230V ...
