System design and machine installation times are reduced with inexpensive Ethernet cabling for the interface between the servo drive and the motion controller.
Parker Hannifin has added Ethernet PowerLink communications to the Aries family of digital brushless servo drives.
The Aries drive platform uses Ethernet PowerLink technology to increase system performance while decreasing overall system costs and installation time.
System design and machine installation times are greatly reduced through the use of inexpensive and readily available Ethernet cabling for the interface between the servo drive and the motion controller.
This configuration removes the need for expensive +/-10V analogue control and feedback cable, often the source of problems during the commissioning process.
It also increases the reliability and noise immunity of the whole control system.
The Aries drives operate in interpolated position mode, receiving co-ordinated position set-point commands over the Ethernet PowerLink network from a master motion controller.
When used with Parker's ACR9030/9040 family of motion controllers the Aries drives offer the added benefits of auto-tuning, drive setup and full real-time diagnostics, all via the Ethernet PowerLink network using the ACR-View front end software.
Available with continuous power ratings of 400W 750W and 1.3kW, these drives operate direct online from a 120-240V AC single-phase supply and also feature a logic keep-alive facility.
Both rotary and linear brushless servomotor technologies are supported, as are both standard quadrature- and EnDat-encoder feedback systems.
Ethernet PowerLink is a high-speed digital motion-bus network, which enables the easy interconnection of PLCs, motion controllers, drives and I/O products from a variety of automation vendors.
Using standard industrial Ethernet network hardware, Ethernet PowerLink combines a mix of polling and time-slicing mechanisms to provide a real-time, deterministic communications channel via a reliable, low-cost and easy to install hardware platform.
Ethernet PowerLink is an open standard, free from patent and intellectual property ownership issues.
