Compact Intelligent Minidrive From
Technosoft
Technosoft launch the new IBL2401, a remarkably intelligent and compact minidrive, based on MotionChipTM DSP Control Technology.
IBL2401 is only 58x44x16 mm and weighs 60 grams Despite these minimal dimensions it embeds motion controller, drive and PLC functionalities in the same compact unit and controls brushless, step, DC or linear motors up to 25W (24V, 1A)

Viscometers Tackle Re-Moist Adhesives Sticky Issue
Many commercial printers are applying water based re-moist adhesives as part of their printing processes.
The drive can be mounted right beside the motor, cables and maintenance being thus significantly reduced.
The IBL2401 motion programming can be done from a CANopen master, via a PC / PLC using the appropriate motion library, or directly at drive level, using the built-in motion controller and EasyMotion Studio platform.
Its embedded motion controller uses the same high-level motion language for all motor versions, making their technology differences transparent to the user.
Thanks to its local intelligence based on TML programming, the users can really simplify complex applications, by distributing the intelligence between master and drives.
Thus, instead of trying to command each step of an axis movement from the master, they can program the drive using TML to execute complex tasks, and inform the master when these tasks have been completed.
Motion modes as contouring, profiling, gearing, electronic camming, PVT are easily executed in stand-alone or multi-axis operations.
IBL2401 is equipped with several sensors as: incremental encoders, digital and linear Halls.
Communication can be done over CANopen, CAN, RS-232 networks, or Ethernet through an external adapter.
All above-mentioned features - intelligence, miniature size, easy implementation, compact and cost-effective design - make the Technosoft IBL2401 the perfect motion control solution for all high-precision applications ranging from medical to factory automation.
