Technosoft has announced the IBL3605, a compact intelligent servo drive measuring 65mm x 58mm x 19mm, which reaches up to 600W peak power.
The IBL3605 embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionality in one unit, and has the flexibility to control brushless, step, DC or linear motors up to 180W (36V, 5A).
It can be mounted right beside the motor, therefore reducing cables and maintenance.
The IBL3605 can be used as a network drive in distributed motion systems using a CAN/CANopen interface, or as a stand-alone motion controller for single-axis control.
With IBL3605, motion programming is done from a CANopen master via PC/PLC using the appropriate motion library, or directly at drive level, using the built-in motion controller and the Easymotion Studio platform.
The embedded motion controller uses the same high-level motion language (TML) for all motor versions, making technology differences transparent to the user.
With the TML programming, the user can simplify complex applications by distributing the intelligence between master and drives.
The drive can be programmed in TML to execute complex tasks and to inform the master when these tasks have been completed.
Configuration, tuning and maintenance features include basic and expert parameter views.
Motion modes such as contouring, profiling, gearing, electronic camming, PVT are easily executed with IBL3605.
The drive is equipped with several sensors (incremental encoders, digital and linear Halls) and communication options (CANopen, CAN or RS-232).
Starter kits and motion libraries are available for quick evaluation and integration into industrial applications.
