The GEM module is a highly compact solution for AGVs and robotics. Operating from 9-55 VDC and 14-90 VDC, Argus delivers 30A of continuous current. Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality reduces system cost for safety sensitive applications. The GEM module allows for EtherCAT control interface through CoE protocol. The GEM module interfaces to a wide range of absolute encoders, including BISS, SSI, Absolute A, and EnDat.
