KeDrive D2
Communicative hardware for every application
The new communications interface with multi-protocol capacity, permits the universal operation of the KeDrive D2 with standard SERCOS III and EtherCAT real-time Ethernet protocols without any hardware changes. Linkage of this interface takes place via universal communications hardware, which is easily configured by means of software.
High compatibility for maximum freedom
The KeDrive D2 supports the most widely used types of encoder by means of its multi-encoder interface. As a result, machine manufacturers can select from the complete range of sensor and motor systems.
Multi-Ethernet communication interfaces
- SERCOS III
- EtherCAT (SoE)
Multi-Encoder interfaces
- EnDat 2.1 absolute encoders
- Hiperface® absolute encoders
- Absolute encoders from MSM motors
- 1 Vss incremental signals
- 5 V TTL incremental signals
- Resolver
Safety on board for reduced expense
Safety functions in line with Category 3 of the EN 13849-1 standard are integrated into the drives.* This means that complicated accreditation is not needed and development periods are shorter. The integration of safety functions into the drive ensures minimum response times, making machines both faster and safer. The on-board safety functions render external monitoring components and their installation superfluous, which cuts both installation expenditure and costs. *available 2011
