Technology highlights
MotiFlex e180 drives deliver versatile motion control performance, capability
and dependability to power machine innovations. Flexible connectivity with Ethernet and motor feedback technologies is highly integrated and
optimized for demanding motion applications. With the Mint Workbench commissioning tool you can quickly and easily customize the drive to the
exact control requirements of your machine.
Dual encoder
Dual encoder input for position and commutation. Provides line shaft following or dual loop control to eliminate mechanical errors.
I/O-digital and analog
I/O can be used for configurable drive functions, such as enable/disable limit switches, home sensors or provide the inputs/outputs for typical machine functions (e.g. buttons) within the Mint programming.
Two high speed registration inputs
Precise registration of print marks or product position achieved with 2 x 24 V fast isolated inputs which can be used to latch feedback device position in hardware and trigger software events locally in Mint.
HMI connection via multiple Ethernet protocols
PROFINET IO, Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP provide support for HMI, PLC or upstream communication network.
Dynamic overload
3 times overload current of the rated current maximizes available torque for dynamic acceleration to 300%. The 300% peak torque delivers a faster dynamic response.
Wide range of feedback interfaces
Drive feedback options support different serial encoders (SSI, 1V pk-pk SinCos, BiSS-B, EnDat2.1/2.2, SmartAbs, Hiperface), resolver and incremental encoders. Besides DSL encoders are supported on e180 (46 A and below) to provide the single cable solution.
Advanced motion programming
The intelligent drive offers Mint programming - a high level multitask language which is tailored for motion
applications. This powerful but simple programming language is accessed by the Mint Workbench software which provides the control of the communication, logic,
motion and HMI interactions.
Memory unit
The compact memory unit stores drive’s settings, parameters and application programs. With it you can prepare drive settings off-site, manage functionality levels or copy parameters from one drive to another.
Safety
Safe Torque Off (STO) SIL3 PLe is a standard feature. STO prevents torque from being applied at the motor shaft for
machine safety applications. It eliminates the need of removing AC power supply in most applications, and minimizes the downtime and maximizes the machine
utilization.
Flexible Ethernet connectivity
Integrated Ethernet interfaces realize the connectivity with EtherCAT, PROFINET IO and POWERLINK protocols via E1 and E2 ports (simply select the required protocol
by switches on the drive). In addition, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and socket communication are supported via the E3 port.
Comply with the Ecodesign Regulation (EU)
The energy efficiency complies with the Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2019/1781. Our drives play a active role in containing worldwide energy consumption and in reducing CO2 emissions.
Rotary and linear motors
Provides precision control of rotary servo motors and linear servo motors. Universal encoder interface can be simply configured by the software to support a wide range of
feedback types.
