New from Danaher Motion

The new S200 Servo Drive features high resolution (24 bit) feedback and high performance 3-5 kHz current loop bandwidth for smooth motion and rapid start and stop action.  Smart feedback and industry leading high bandwidth also facilitate fast and accurate "plug and play" commissioning by eliminating the need for servo loop tuning in most applications. Kollmorgen S200 series drives come standard with torque or velocity control and optionally support Indexing, CANopen or DeviceNet. They are available for AC (120/240 VAC) or DC (20-90V) operation with current ratings from 1 A rms continuous to 18 A rms peak. They have a compact footprint and are UL 508C listed, CE marked, and conform to EN50178 and EN61800-3 standards.  Other features include separate "Keep Alive" power, optically isolated inputs/outputs, positive locking connectors.

The new P7000 is the only microstepping drive available today to offer reliable Encoderless Stall Detection™, down to and including rest, without the use of a separate feedback device. Additionally, these drives use multi-step positioning to convert full step indexing commands into smooth microstepping resolution, making them the only microstepping drive available today with this functionality. This allows users, for the cost of a new drive, to significantly increase machine performance without having to redesign the machine control architecture.  Available for AC or DC operation, the P7000 is designed to power any 2-phase NEMA step motor. A Motion Node option that supports ModBus RTU, CAN Open, or DeviceNet network protocols adds enhanced indexing capabilities at significant savings when compared to the cost of a standard indexer. 

Kollmorgen's new AKM Servomotors give you unprecedented choice and flexibility with a wide range of standard products allowing you to select the best servomotor optimized for your specifications. Over 12,000 standard models are available with a wide range of mounting, connectivity, speed, feedback and other options to fit your specific application needs. AKM Motors are available in a variety of windings designed for virtually any global voltage. Features include:

  • 7 frame sizes, 25 frame/stack combinations and 77 standard windings
  • 0.16 to 53 N-m (1.4 to 470 lb-in) continuous torque accommodates a wide range of application requirements
  • Speeds to 8,000 RPM meet high speed application requirements
  • Operation from 53 to 480 VAC, 75 to 680 VDC bus rated provides full range of global voltage capability
  • Choice of resolver, commutating encoder, or smart feedback device (SFD) feedback to meet broad drive and system requirements
  • Compact (high torque/volume ratio) for maximum torque in minimum space
  • Multiple frame sizes for the same torque value optimizes mounting and inertia matching capabilities
  • Optimized windings to match SERVOSTAR drives for optimum performance and cost
  • CE compliant and UL recognition for global acceptance
  • Mounting variations, fail-safe brake, resolver, commutating encoder, smart feedback device (SFD), shaft seal, flying lead and motor mounted connectors

The Ideal Reporting Companion for Any Application

Advanced Reporting has never been easier!  ReportWorX from Iconics is a powerful reporting tool that is easy to learn, quick to apply and works with any data source, including popular HMI, SCADA, MES and control systems.  You can also connect to real-time OPC data as well as databases such as, SQL, Oracle, SAP, Aspen Tech, OSI PI and more. 

  • Information can be gathered from data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, ODBC, OLEDB, MSDE, Oracle, AspenTech, OSI PI, OPC HDA (Historical Data Access), OPC A&E (Alarm and Events) and OPC real-time information as well as web services technology to data mine other Web services over the Internet or intranets.

  • Use Microsoft Excel as your report design tool.

  • Scheduling engine allows for the simultaneous execution of reports.  These reports can be triggered manually, periodically based on time and/or date, based on alarms or events, based on real-time OPC tags, based on expressions or calculations based on database value (contact ICONICS for details).

  • Reports can be automatically archived, sent to redundant printers, e-mailed to a selected list of recipients or to your entire organization, converted to a PDF file, faxed, printed to multiple printers, e-mailed, or published to a Web Server for use on the Internet or corporate intranets.

  • International language capability.

  • Reports can be scheduled for automatic deletion or moved to another PC for longer-term storage.

  • Data mine any Web services–enabled database to integrate real-time and corporate business data.

  • Automatically publish reports to Web servers so that any user can access reports using Internet Explorer over the Internet or within a secure corporate intranet.

  • Powerful Enterprise Web-based navigation and management system is optionally available, providing users with the ability to review archived reports that have been published on a Web server as well as manage report execution and schedules.
