DC servo-drive ME4-055-03

4-axisdigitalCANopen

The ME4 is a four-axis, high-performance, DC-powered drive for control of stepper or servo motors via EtherCAT. Each axis is configurable to drive a stepper, brushless, or brush motor. Using advanced FPGA technology, the ME4 provides a significant reduction in the cost per node by combining stepper and servo motors into a compact package. Each axis in the ME4 operates as an EtherCAT node under DS-402 for motion control devices. Supported modes include: Cyclic position/velocity/torque, Profile Position-Velocity, Interpolated Position Mode (PVT), and Homing. Servo mode of steppers allows position, velocity, and torque control. Servo mode allows EtherCAT or digital PWM control of position, velocity, and torque. In microstepping mode, stepper command pulses and master encoder for camming or gearing is supported.
