Fieldbus interfaces

The variety of fieldbus interfaces and protocols enables the easy integration of LinMot servo drives into any controller, be it a PLC, an industrial PC or a proprietary controller.

The connection to the higher-level control system can be established via analog, digital, or serial interfaces, fieldbuses, or Ethernet. The wide variety of fieldbus interfaces and protocols allows for the easy integration of LinMot servo drives into any control system, be it a PLC, an industrial PC, or a proprietary controller.

For seamless drive integration, LinMot offers customers a comprehensive range of function blocks and sample programs. These function blocks allow not only standard motion commands but also functions such as drive parameterization and configuration to be executed directly from the controller. The complete drive configuration for the relevant axis is thus stored on the controller. In the event of maintenance or replacement, this enables, among other things, automatic drive detection and parameterization via the bus. This eliminates the need for manual and time-consuming drive configuration in case of a fault.
