Motors with an electronic finger print for consistent identification.

02/11/2010

In the area of drive technology, the embedded parameter chip represents a fast and reliable method of identification for motors in the network group. Equipped with relevant mechanical and electronic data such as serial number, type, manufacturer specifications, etc., the entire power transmission system is clearly identifiable in the application program.

From servo motors, synchronous motors and torque motors to proven ACOPOS drives, an integrated chip ensures seamless detection of all important motor parameters and therefore supports automatic system configuration - when implementing various machine types, this is a major advantage for all users because they don't have to make any settings on the drive module.

Automatic motor identification

As soon as the encoder is connected to the servo drive and the power is applied to the electronics, the motor is automatically identified. The motor sends its rated parameters and limit parameters to the servo drive. The drive then automatically determines the current limits and current control parameters required for optimal control of the motor. The work-intensive and error-prone task of manually setting parameters is no longer necessary and the amount of time required for configuration during start-up is substantially reduced.

Fast configuration diagnostics

A simple comparison of the machine configuration when servicing the system helps to quickly diagnose faulty arrangements and prevents costly downtimes. The valuable information provided also allows you to draw conclusions about usage and possible errors.
