SPiiPlusES

The SPiiPlusES is a high performance programmable motion controller and EtherCAT Master that can be connected as a node to any EtherCAT network utilizing the standard DS402 CAN Over EtherCAT (CoE) protocol. To the external EtherCAT Master it looks like a highly programmable multi-Axis motor drive.

SPiiPlusES as a DS402 Multi-Axis EtherCAT® Drive node
• Can be managed by any EtherCAT Automation Controller
• Up to 8 axes utilizing standard DS402 CoE drive commands
• Up to 64 axes utilizing manufacturer’s specific DS402 CoE drive commands
• Distributed clock
• Up to 5kHz EtherCAT cycle rate.

SPiiPlusES as an EhertCAT® master
• Identical to SPiiPlusEC, powerful EtherCAT Motion Controller
• Up to 64 axes and many I/Os
• Up to 5kHz EtherCAT cycle rate.
• NetworkBoost for cable failure detection and recovery
• Can be synchronized to the distributed clock of the external network

When starting a motion controller project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum motion controller for the job. They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the motion controller performs as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost.

This includes:

• Ensuring compatibility with the motor drive and available power
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device, encoder (incremental vs. absolute), resolver, etc.
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified

When ordering a SPiiPlusES motion controller as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
