Integrated servomotors.

As part of its new generation MAC series, JVL’s MAC404 features completely revised software and redesigned hardware that together elevate performance, efficiency and adaptability, as well as reduce cost in industrial automation. Available with full application support from Mclennan in Britain, this new model will deliver 400 W power with 1200 W peak in a compact 63x63 mm frame, and with a new absolute multi-turn encoder, will sustain a 100% duty cycle and 24/7 operation for unlimited production down-time.

A built-in industrial Ethernet interface with six protocols offers seamless PLC integration with major PLC producers. A wide choice of options including built in brake, IP67 protection, STO connector with SoE, wireless comms’ interfacing, CANopen, IO Link, and more combine to make the MAC404 an excellent selection for a wide range of automation applications.

The new MAC404 is powered from 115 or 230 VAC (optional 48 VDC). With motor speeds to 3000 rpm (3600 max.), rated torque is 1.27 Nm with 3.83 peak. The machine distributed, integrated drive and controller design eliminates the need for large control cabinets.

Through the MAC404 series, models available cover IP42 and IP66 housings with and without fitted brakes - with overall lengths of 170 mm and 203 mm respectively. With only power and communication connections to manage through industry standard M12 connectors, the integrated servomotor offers reduced commissioning effort, cost and time. Furthermore, the new more compact hardware and software optimised MAC404 has been realised at reduced production cost, with savings passed to customers.

Along with other models in the new MAC series, offering power ratings of 750, 1000 and 1500 W, the MAC404 features a new, faster processor that delivers precise, rapid control that is perfectly suited to high-throughput production applications. For seamless machine integration, JVL servomotors can be configured directly from a PLC with function blocks available for Siemens and Rockwell Automation or programmed with JVL's MacTalk software. A complete range of accessories, as part of an inclusive support service from Mclennan, include gear units, additional software, power supplies and cables.

Servomotor has Ethernet.

The JVL A/S MAC1004 integrated servomotor, available through Mclennan, is set to offer a new level of performance, efficiency and flexibility for precision motion control in industrial automation. As part of a new generation MACmotor® range, the MAC1004 sports a completely new software and hardware design and delivers 1kW of continuous servo power and a 3kW peak rating in a compact 80x80 mm motor size. With increased efficiency and a 100% duty cycle rating, its wide choice of six built-in Industrial Ethernet options and faster processor combines with a new absolute multi-turn encoder that makes the MAC1004 a compelling choice for almost any application.

The motor is directly powered from 115 or 230 VAC (optional 320 VDC) and as a standalone integrated servo motor allows machine builders the benefit of much reduced machine wiring in addition to fewer or smaller control cabinets in a typical setup. With only power and communication connections to manage, distributed systems also offer reduced commissioning effort and time.

The MAC1004 supports six Industrial Ethernet options including EtherCat, Profinet, and Ethernet IP with daisy-chain connection. Wireless Profinet, EtherNet IP and Modbus are further options along with IO-Link, CANopen and other commonly used comms’ interfaces. Rather than using individual modules for these options, as in previous integrated motor models, the new design is based around built-in options - reducing production cost and streamlining selection, with savings passed on to the customer.

Further controller design improvements have led to higher motor efficiency and a faster, more advanced processor enables precise and smooth motion control for superior production throughput. With its 100% duty cycle operation, the MAC1004 is well suited to use high-demand automation applications. Furthermore, a new battery free, self-powered, state-of-the-art absolute encoder is available for long-life and zero-maintenance operation. It can also be optionally supplied with an STO connector and equipped for SoE Safety over Ethernet, internal brake, IP67 protection and a choice of M12 or M16 connectors for harsh environments.

Integrated stepper motors with wireless.

JVL Industri Elektronik has recently added a Wireless Industrial Ethernet communication option to its ServoStep™ integrated stepper motor series.

Application areas include battery powered AGVs , remotely operated machinery, theatre & stage automation systems etc, or where motion control from a tablet or mobile phone is required.

Available with full support from Mclennan, their British distribution partner, the new wireless option supports Profinet, EtherNet/IP and ModbusTCP/UDP protocols and is available across its MIS and MIL series integrated motors in NEMA sizes 17 and 43, offering output torques from 0.3 to 25 Nm. Industrial Ethernet brings added application flexibility for machine builders and OEMs and this option is particularly useful where wireless control is preferred or necessary for autonomous motion tasks.

JVL’s ServoStep integrated stepper motors combine a microstepping motor and drive with motion controls and a variety of interfacing and comms’ modules in a single compact unit. The single package integrated motor solution makes wiring straightforward and significantly reduces installation costs, and furthermore provides much better electrical noise protection compared to cabinet housed drives with long noise-prone, motor power and control cable runs. The same ‘built-in technology is applied to JVL’s wide range of integrated servo motors – also available from Mclennan.

ServoStep’s feature a Hall-sensor and an encoder in a proprietary control technology that produces higher torque and precision compared to open loop stepper motors. Options are available with rare-earth rotor magnets that produce up to 40% more torque in same housing size. Motor power through the range spans from 50 to 400 W with speeds up to 3000 rpm and a step resolution of 0.01 revs. An absolute multiturn encoder option boosts positioning resolution up to 409,600 counts per rev. Automatic current-control reduces heating and the quiet motor performance suits noise sensitive applications. The ServoStep MIS series is already available with wired Industrial Ethernet, which is compatible with all major Ethernet protocols - meeting the requirements for IIoT and Industry 4.0 with further options including STO SIL3 for machine safety. A built-in e-PLC™ with eight digital I/O points, or analogue inputs, adds additional application functionality.

Configuration, programming, and communication diagnostics is made straightforward with JVL’s MacTalk® PC application software which includes a graphical programming environment and a wide selection of motion control commands and machine I/O interaction functions.

Their new Wireless Industrial Ethernet option can equally accommodate use with an antenna equipped PLC or a wireless access point for long range communications. MacTalk takes care of set-up with a range of commands including SSID, encryption and credentials as well as signal strength. Two selectable operation modes are available: Station Client, which establishes wireless point to point control of individual antenna equipped integrated motors, and Access Point that allows a number of wirelessly-controlled motors to each be hard-wired to other ServoStep motors through a secondary Ethernet connection. Station Client mode is used where multi-axis synchronisation is not an issue, and Access Point mode should include a managed Ethernet switch of industrial grade in the wireless network topology for best axis and machine I/O synchronisation.
