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. EasyMotion Studio automatically generates all the TML
instructions. Using TML programming, you can reduce the development time of
complex applications by distributing the intelligence between master and drive:
you can call complex motion functions, pre-stored in the drive memory, or
trigger their execution via I/O signals.
IDM680
is suitable for the operation of brushless, dc or linear motors up to
640 W continuous / 1.3 kW peak voltages. Adding EtherCAT
compatibility to the IDM680 drive provides a potent combination of speed and various
operating modes, including: position or speed
profiles (trapezoidal, S-curve); 3rd order PVT and 1st
order PT interpolation; electronic gearing and camming; analogue or digital external
reference; open / closed loop and microstepping (up to 256 μsteps/step) for
step motors.
This
drive is equipped with various sensors: digital and linear Halls, SSI, EnDAT,
BiSS, sine/cosine incremental encoders and resolver. PC/PLC motion libraries
are available for the drive's quick industrial integration.
IDM680
with EtherCAT is useful to motion control applications that require high data
transfer rates, short data processing times and high synchronicity with low
jitter, such as plant or building automation industries.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
