EtherCAT Stepper Drives

New!

Ever Motion Solutions^® Titanio series drives with EtherCAT control are high-performance vector stepper drives that provide industry-leading quality and control. All Ever EtherCAT drives support open loop control (no encoder feedback). Certain models also support closed loop control (a motor mounted encoder provides position feedback to the drive) for stall detection AND position correction. The Titanio drives also have stall detection capability in open loop control mode by using the motor's back EMF to monitor motor movement. This means the Titanio drives can detect and report motor stalling without encoder feedback.

• Supports all popular EtherCAT control modes:
• Control modes include homing modes, interpolated position mode, velocity mode, along with several cyclic and profile modes
• In Cyclic modes, the drives receive position, velocity, or torque updates every EtherCAT cycle (minimum cycle time: 500µs)
• In Profile modes, the drives receive a setpoint for each motion, with accel, decel, and speed settings to determine the complete motion profile
• Microstep resolution: 200-65536ppr
• Monitoring of motor back EMF enables step loss (stall) detection without an encoder
• Proprietary, patented algorithms use sinusoidal current control to:
  • Reduce parasitic phase current harmonics
  • Reduce audible motor noise
  • Smooth motor movement, regardless of microstep resolution
  • Dampen motor vibrations and resonances
  • Reduce heating and increase efficiency of the motor and drive
• Increased positioning accuracy
• Better and more constant torque output at all speeds
• Protection against short circuit and open circuit
• Alarms for over/under voltage, temperature, short circuit
• Configure, commission and jog using the FREE Ever Studio Configuration Software
• Compatible with SureStep motors in NEMA 14, 17, 23, 34, and 42 sizes
