AutomationDirect: Ever Motion Solutions EtherCAT Stepper Drives

AutomationDirect has added EtherCAT-capable stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions that offer peak performance and a rich feature set. Five new drives are available with two open-loop (no encoder feedback) models and three open/closed-loop versions. Unlike typical stepper drives, Titanio steppers can detect stalls in open-loop control mode by monitoring the motor’s back EMF. This allows system designers to take advantage of stall detection without the hassle and expense of a closed-loop system.
