Imagine being able to control an entire machine, simply, economically, and effectively, without need for  an external bus master – that dream is now a reality. Moog Animatics recently announced the release of its new I/O Device CAN Bus Master capability. This extension of previous I/O support enables the Class 5 SmartMotor^™ to interface with standard CiA 301 CANopen^® devices such as:

• Remote digital/analog/mixed signal I/O 
• Temperature controllers
• CAN bus absolute or relative encoders
• Pneumatic valve blocks
• Inclinometers
• Load cells
• Other motors 
• Distance sensors
• Flow meters/pressure sensors
• Accelerometers
• Weight scales
• Visual inspection systems
• And many more 

Further, multiple SmartMotors and multiple I/O devices may be on the same CAN bus. When combined with Combitronic™ motor-to-motor communications, this allows for complex, multi-axis, multi-I/O-device network control.

This presentation will let you look under the hood and see how this new capability empowers machine builders with a simple, economical and effective “total machine control” solution using the SmartMotor^™ with I/O CAN Bus Master.

This webinar will:

• Describe the features and benefits of this new technology
• Describe the new AniBasic user commands and CANopen objects
• Present several application example user programs
