iMOTIONCUBE is an extremely compact drive that you can integrate in your design as a plug-in module. It provides a cost-effective solution for the control of rotary or linear brushless, DC brush, and step motors of powers up to 1.6 kW, with up to 80 V rated voltages.
Using as field bus either CAN or (in preparation) EtherCAT, iMOTIONCUBEs embed motion controller, drive and PLC features into a single unit. The CAN versions may operate as standard CANopen drives, or as intelligent drives that are able to execute complex motion profiles, programmed directly on the drive, with the high-level Technosoft Motion Language (TML). As an intelligent drive, iMOTIONCUBE can perform many of the central unit's tasks, eliminating the need for such a unit in many single-axis or multi-axis applications. The EtherCAT versions can also operate as standard EtherCAT drives (CoE protocol), or as intelligent slaves that are able to independently execute complex motion functions from the drive's memory.
Having 2 feedback connectors, iMOTIONCUBE can use both motor and load position in advanced dual-loop control algorithms that minimize the transmission backlash negative effects. iMOTIONCUBE has two STO (Safe Torque Off) inputs designed to meet category 3 (EN954-1), SIL3 (IEC61508 and 62061) and PLe (EN/ISO 13849-1).
iMOTIONCUBE drives can be quickly configured and tuned using either EasySetUp or EasyMotion Studio software platforms. EasySetUp is recommended when motion programming is done exclusively via an external device (a PC or PLC using Technosoft motion libraries, a CANopen or EtherCAT master), while EasyMotio Studio includes both drive setup and motion programming using TML.
