Servos link to create multi-axis controller
Animatics
Class 5 Smartmotor
Animatics has introduced the Class 5 Smartmotor, an integrated servo that features patent-pending Combitronic technology.
More than 100 Smartmotor servos can be linked over CAN to create what the programmer experiences as one giant multi-axis controller.
Combitronic allows any Smartmotor to read from, write to and control any other Smartmotor to ensure high dependability and no data collision or loss.
One program can be written in one motor to control all, or each motor can have its own program, sharing resources with every other, for one giant multi-tasking, multi-processing system.
Even without the Combitronic option, Class 5 Smartmotor communication speeds blaze at up to 115.2kBaud in both the RS-232 and RS-485 ports.
Isolated, 24V I/O has been added, program execution speeds are increased and advanced gearing, camming and contouring functions have been added.
