Servo Control Modules

Intelligent servo control modules combine motion control, drive, and programmable logic controller functionality in a compact unit. The modules are used in a range of medical applications, including robots, computed tomography scanners, and syringe-handling pick-and-place systems. The drives are adapted for distributed and coordinated control of brushless, dc, linear, or step motors up to 240 W and 80 V. Two mounting styles are available. The ISCM4805/ISCM8005 plug-ins are for direct mounting onto printed curcuit boards. The ISCM4805 DIN is used to attach standard DIN-rails using incorporated DIN-rail clips. Measuring 80 × 50 × 17 mm, the plug-ins are suitable for applications involving small or narrow spaces. Design and networking possibilities include RS-232, CAN, CANopen, or Ethernet through an external adapter. Technosoft S.A., Bevaix, Switzerland, tel: +41 32 7325500.
