Travel distances, positions, speeds, operating times - easily defined with the new web-based motor control system for drylin® E linear actuator systems.
You can use the web-based browser user interface to set the travel mode, positions, rates of acceleration, speed and pause times of your linear axis.
When you use the real control system, your input is transmitted exactly as in this simulator. There is no separate transmission.
It's that easy: Under 'Travel profiles', you can configure up to eight lines and apply the control parameters to the linear axis. In the 'Mode' field, use HOM to set the zero point or use ABS to define the absolute position for movement on the linear axis. Choose the destination by entering the position on the axis or by using the Teach function. Enter the values for acceleration, speed and deceleration and, if necessary, a pause time. Under 'Subsequent block', specify the number of the next travel profile.
Voltage supply- Logic and load supply are separated in order to realise safety shutdowns.
The logic supply has 12-24 V and the load supply has 12-48 V.
Digital inputs- Movements can be selected, started and stopped at the 10 predefined inputs. With two limit switches and an enable input, the motor control unit can also perform safety functions.
Digital outputs- Information from the motor control unit can be called up at the 5 predefined outputs. The motor control unit reports whether it is ready or is currently executing a movement, whether it is referenced or whether warnings or errors are present.
Analogue inputs- Two analogue inputs can be used to read in absolute position information from a linear axis, for example, or to specify speeds or positions. Using an "electronic hand wheel", a linear axis can be moved without changing the parameters.
Motor & Brake connection- DC, 3-phase EC and 2-phase stepper motors can be connected to the motor connection. A motor brake connection is also integrated in this connector.
Rotary encoder- A rotary encoder is required to optimise motor control and determine an exact position. The motor control unit is designed for many different types of rotary encoder with a voltage supply of 5 V.

A motor controller is a way of controlling an electric motor. It allows communication between the power source and the motor. It controls speed, direction and position.
A motor control system is an electronic device that operates the motor for the movement within applications. igus® has a range of motor controllers, which are suitable for all sorts of motors and applications.
You can, with our motor controller it is designed to work from a browser.
There is a lot of confusion between a motor control centre and motor controllers. A centre is literally that, a hub that controls many motors powering multiple applications.
It a much larger unit that an individual motor controller and not something that igus gets involved in. Motor controllers we can help with, motor control centres we cannot.
