Gaining Competitive Advantage Through Simple,
Economical and Effective "Total Machine Control" Using
the SmartMotor™ With I/O Device CAN Bus Master
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
