SANMOTION R SERIES EtherCAT designed to include motion control’s fastest cycle time

Since the first public demonstration of 1216 servo axes in synchronized motion, called Kinetic Rain, Sanyo Denki has been at the forefront of servo drive development to provide the most up-to-date EtherCAT cycle time available and deterministic control of IO and motion.

62.5 μs of communication cycle becomes available when high speed sampling mode is selected:

  • Applicable communication cycle is 62.5 μs only.
  • Object number allowing PDO mapping is 10 maximum.
  • Operation mode applies cyclic sync velocity mode (CSV) or cyclic sync torque (force) mode (CST) only.
  • The objects updating with 62.5 μs communication cycle are listed below. The other objects are update with 125 μs even if PDO mapping is performed.

3 things to know about Motion Control Features:

  1. Smallest Size Servo Motor in Industrial Automation

Variations of the servo system’s control, power supply, and servo drive units are available for selection to build multi-axis servo systems that best suit engineering’s requirements. With the smallest sized servo in the motion control industry, this servo system provides a high degree of freedom, contributing to the downsizing of manufacturers’ equipment.

2. Improved Frequency Response & EtherCAT Cycle Time for Synchronized, Deterministic Motion Control

Compared with our current model,(2) speed frequency response has been doubled(3) and EtherCAT data transfer rate has been shortened to half(4) to achieve smoother motion control.The SANMOTION R Series was introduced as a high-performance multi-axis servo system characterized by extremely high dynamics and very short cycle times. The motor current is scanned in μs cycles and the minimum adjustable EtherCAT cycle time is 62.5 μs. Thanks to a high-speed sampling mode, process data can now be scanned several times within a communication cycle if required and transferred to the controller via EtherCAT.

  1. Monitor Servo Brake & Resistors for Preventive Maintenance

The SANMOTION R Series servo drive features a function to monitor the servo motor’s holding brake degradation and notify engineering or maintenance via the motion control system. The servo system also monitors its power consumption and communication to avoid motion control failure improving maintenance and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). These contribute to preventive maintenance and remote failure diagnosis of user equipment.

  • Motion Control

UL817 and ISO 9001 Certified

Industrial control panels are defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) Section 409.2 as an assembly of two or more power circuit components, control circuit components, or any combination of power and control circuit components. These components are typically switches, terminal blocks, contactors, motor drives, transformers, overcurrent protective devices and the like.
