ION® networkable drives simplify machine wiring
|
|
ION® networkable drives are compact, fully enclosed digital drives that provide high performance motion control, network connectivity and power amplification for DC brush, brushless DC or step motors. The built-in CANBus and serial communications greatly simplify machine wiring. The drives can be conveniently located close to the motors minimizing motor connection costs and only a small network cable is needed to link the drives to the machine's central controller.
