Crouzet Motors (Vista, CA) introduces CANopen technology for its brushless DC motors. The new communications protocol offering allows design engineers to connect multiple motors to the various components in their system, reducing wiring and installation costs while increasing system communications and integrity.
Crouzet’s CANopen interface permits connection of up to 127 brushless DC motors with a single, shielded two-wire cable. Data may be transmitted at speeds up to 125 kBd at distances over 550 yards. At lower baud rates, the transmission distance can exceed three miles.
Crouzet’s brushless DC motors can operate over a wide voltage range, withstanding up to 80 volts DC regenerative energy. In addition, these new CANopen enabled motors utilize two safety inputs to cut down power in the motor even if the microprocessor has failed.
These motors are suited for various applications including medical, transportation, foodservice, precision agricultural equipment, packaging machinery, solar tracking, defense and industrial automation.
