ECOMODUL 118, 8-axis Servo Amplifier, modular, CANopen/EtherCAT

Overview

The modular structure makes it easy to adapt the device to a wide variety of applications. Instead of new developments, modules are simply to be configured. The device costs are significantly reduced and the amplifier including customer-specific equipment is available to the machine manufacturer much more quickly.

The basic building blocks of the amplifier are the axis modules. They each control two servo axes or stepper motor axes. Furthermore, four digital inputs and two outputs with 24 V (e.g. for a brake connection) are available per axis module.

The ECOMODUL is controlled via the CANopen interface or via EtherCAT. A USB interface is also available for parameterization. The STO functionality affects all connected axes.
In addition, I / O modules or customer-specific modules can be used in the ECOMODUL, e.g. for an external encoder system or other fieldbus interfaces. Depending on the functionality required, the amplifier can control up to eight axes and measures just 145 (D) x 79 (W) x 212 (H) mm.

Why it helps

• Eight axes in one unit reduce cabinet space and wiring 

• Configure modules instead of developing hardware, faster delivery and lower device cost 

• Easy PLC integration via CANopen or EtherCAT 

• Stable synchronization from incremental and absolute encoder support, assignable I/O per axis 

• Fast commissioning with ECOSTUDIO parameter wizards and analysis tools 

• STO across all axes supports safety compliance; sensorless motion can cut components and cost  

Where it fits

• Coordinated multi-axis handling and feeding stations 

• Inspection and measurement setups needing synchronized motion 

• OEM platforms that need quick delivery and customer-specific modules 

• Retrofits that require compact multi-axis control with standard fieldbuses
