Integrated steppers are highly compact design
JVL has launched a new integrated stepper motor with RS485 and CANopen serial interface and programmable motion controller. All the necessary electronics in a stepper system are integrated in the motor itself. JVL has used the newest technology to obtain an incredibly high step resolution of 819200 step/revolution - resulting in smooth and silent running. The length is only 95mm which is said to make it the shortest motor in the world with built-in controller.
The motors are available in three sizes: MIS340 with 3.0Nm torque and length of 95mm; MIS341 with 6.1Nm torque and length of 126mm; and MIS342 with 9.0Nm torque and a length of 156mm.
The motor contains everything needed to solve a modern control task as stand-alone or controlled from a PLC or PC. Eight I/O points can be individually configured to digital input, digital output or analogue input. Modbus RTU and CANopen provide easy connections to a PLC or HMI. An ActiveX/OCX driver is available to make interfacing to LabView, Excel, VB or other Windows-programs simple. The MAC motor standard protocol enables MAC motors and QuickStep motors and SMC85 controllers to be connected on the same RS485 bus with up to 254 axes.
The integrated stepper motor can be delivered with wireless Bluetooth, ZigBee or WLAN. The motor is also prepared for future options like Profibus and Industrial Ethernet like EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP and absolute multiturn encoder without external battery. The PCB with stepper motor controller as used inside the motor is also available as a separate unit.
Flange size is 86x86mm which corresponds to the NEMA34 standard and shaft diameter can be either 9.53mm or 14mm with key depending on type. Planetary gears that fit the motor directly are delivered from stock.
