Motion control components compatible with the
real-time Ethernet Powerlink protocol are presenting significant design
opportunities for machinery OEMs. Baldor has published a guide to an
Ethernet-compatible three-phase AC drive family for higher power machinery
applications.
The 28-page catalog details the drive's architecture that includes a shared DC bus, a bus for plug-in expansion options, and software configuration for different motor types-and introduces Ethernet Powerlink.
Potential application configurations are also explored, including an illustration of the drive connected in a multi-axis centralized control scenario, and one functioning as a standalone intelligent drive.
The catalog is available free of charge in electronic or printed form. A PDF can be downloaded from www.baldormotion.com/br1202, and printed versions can be requested by calling 479-646-4711.
