EtherCAT bus closed-loop stepper driver is a stepper motor driver that integrates EtherCAT real-time Ethernet communication protocol and closed-loop control technology. It combines the efficient real-time performance of EtherCAT network with the high-precision characteristics of closed-loop control, providing high-performance motor control solutions for the field of industrial automation. The following is a detailed introduction to the EtherCAT bus closed-loop stepper driver:
1、 Technical features
EtherCAT communication protocol:
EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a real-time industrial fieldbus protocol based on Ethernet, which has high speed, high real-time performance, and flexible network topology.
The EtherCAT bus closed-loop stepper driver adopts the EtherCAT communication protocol, which can achieve microsecond level synchronous communication, ensuring efficient and delay free data transmission between nodes.
Closed loop control technology:
Closed loop control monitors the motor position in real-time through built-in encoders or sensors, and feeds back the position information to the driver.
The driver adjusts the control signal based on the feedback signal to ensure that the motor rotates accurately to the target position, improving the control accuracy and stability of the system.
High performance:
The EtherCAT bus closed-loop stepper driver supports high-speed rotation and high torque output, meeting various complex motion control requirements.
The driver adopts advanced control algorithms and power amplification technology internally to ensure smooth motor operation, low noise, and minimal heat generation.
Flexible configuration:
Users can set the parameters of the driver, such as subdivision, operating current, locking current, and acceleration/deceleration time, through the EtherCAT network or debugging software.
Supports multiple work modes, such as Profile position, Profile velocity, Cyclic synchronous position, Cyclic synchronous velocity, and Home.
Rich input and output interfaces:
EtherCAT bus closed-loop stepper drivers are typically equipped with multiple optoelectronic isolated programmable high-speed differential input/output interfaces, compatible with common cathode and common anode wiring.
These interfaces can be used to complete single axis or multi axis motion control functions such as position control, speed control, and return to origin.
2、 Application Fields
