Mitsubishi Electric adds Ethercat Communications to its MELSERVO Servo Drives MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC EUROPE
EtherCAT is an open, fully implemented industrial Ethernet technology developed to reduce response times in critical applications, making it suitable for demanding, multi-axis servo systems. It also ensures tight synchronization of multiple devices, enabling multi-dimensional motion profiles to be executed accurately.
The MELSERVO MR-J3-A servo drive offers precise, fast positioning, vibration-free motion and smooth operation, even at low speeds. Real-time autotuning ensures maximum precision, very short positioning times and simple installation. The auto-tuning function includes a built-in automatic filter which eliminates vibrations so optimum control is achieved more quickly, even with a wide range of inertia between the motor and load. In addition, an auto-gain search function makes it easy to adjust the servo for maximum machine performance. In the majority of applications, the MELSERVO MR-J3-A servo does not require any manual adjustment.
In applications where ultra-short positioning times are required, the MELSERVO MR-J3-A servo drive provides an average frequency response of 2100Hz, while high-resolution, 18-bit (262,144ppr) encoders ensure accurate positioning. The new EtherCAT module ensures this class-leading performance can be achieved across multi-drive installations by providing communications with 100 servo axes in just milliseconds.
