IDM680 is a new Technosoft intelligent servo drive equipped with EtherCAT communication interface. Besides EtherCAT, this high-performance servo drive embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionality into a single compact unit. IDM680 can operate either as a standard EtherCAT slave using a CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE) protocol, or it can be programmed to execute complex motion programs directly at drive level, using the built-in motion controller and the EasyMotion Studio platform.

ISD860 is a flexible intelligent drive specially developed for motion applications that need cost-optimized design, embedded intelligence, networking possibilities and high servo performance control. ISD860 is able to drive 12 A continuous and 31 A peak currents at a supply voltage ranging from 12 to 72 VDC with a PWM of 20 kHz frequency. The drive embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionality in one unit (size: 136 x 84x 26 mm) and controls brushless, DC or linear motors up to 860 W continuous / 2.2 kW peak. Thanks to its advanced motion control algorithms, a precise control of position, speed or torque over a wide range of dynamic conditions can be achieved.

PIM3605 is a new, pluggable intelligent minidrive particularly adapted for motion control applications where space is critical. Manufactured with simple pins, the drive has an architecture that allows for faster assembly and installation, letting the user insert the drive in seconds. Its miniature size & weight (67 x 43 x 20 mm, 27 g) allows it to be placed inside the machine or near the motor. The drive controls brushless, DC, linear or step motors up to 180 W (36 V, 5 A) continuous and 600 W (36 V, 16 A) peak power.

The new TML_LIB_X20 Motion Control Library embeds the Technosoft drives’ intelligence into a B&R PLC environment. The library is a collection of high-level functions and blocks allowing the control of the Technosoft intelligent drives from a B&R PLC. All library functions have been designed using the guidelines described in the PLC standards for motion control, so they can be integrated on any development platform that is IEC-61131-3 compliant.

ISD720 embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionality in the same open-frame unit (size: 136 x 84 x 26 mm). With convenient compact dimensions and 20 A continuous / 49.5 A peak current ratings, ISD720 combines high-level motion control functions with a cost-optimized design. The drive is a flexible solution, particularly adapted for distributed and coordinated control of brushless, DC or linear motors up to 720 W. It accepts incremental quadrature encoders and digital Halls as position feedbacks.

IBL3605 is a remarkably compact intelligent servo drive which embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionality in one unit and has the flexibility to control brushless, step, DC or linear motors up to 180 W (36 V, 5 A). It can be mounted right beside the motor, all cables and maintenance thus being significantly reduced.

The new Technosoft MCK28335 kits with source code and MATLAB libraries are complete motion control development and evaluation packages based on TI’s latest floating-point digital signal controller: TMS320F28335. They are plug-and-play systems, with complete C language source code, including a MATLAB motion library, and Simulink models for PMSM position and speed control. They also include complete DSP source code (not generated from MATLAB) optimized for real-time execution for PMSM and BLDC speed control.

Technosoft announces the new MxK28335 DSC Motor Control Kits family based on the TMS320F28335 floating-point digital signal controller (DSC). From basic starter kits to most sophisticated professional kits with complete source code application examples and function libraries, these kits offer a wide range of excellent tools for the design of DSP-based motor control applications. Using the floating-point processor embedded in the Technosoft MxK28335 motor control kits, you will be able to significantly save the development time and effort; specific issues related to fixed-point processors (as saturation, overflow, scaling of parameters and variables) are no longer a problem now.

Now all Technosoft drives can communicate with a host via an Ethernet network through the auxiliary module, Ethernet / RS-232 Adapter, using the UDP / IP protocol.
