Motor Control Platform
External control electronics on a new platform
With the BGE 5510 dPro, Dunkermotoren is continuing to roll out its new motor control platform. In addition to the brushless motors with integrated electronics, these are now also available as a compact control cabinet version. In addition to the drive, incremental encoders and a brake can also be connected.
In contrast to the previous external control electronics, the use of an encoder switches the motor from block to vector commutation, which further increases performance. In addition to the traditional Canopen bus interface, industrial Ethernet-based interfaces such as Profinet and Ethercat are also available. With Profi Drive Profile 4 (Profinet) and Distributed Clock (Ethercat), the BGE 5510 dPro is real-time capable and can be used for many synchronous servo applications. The individual controller interfaces can be connected to each other via standard RJ45 network cables. The Drive Assistant 5 commissioning software is available to match the hardware. A PLC-like sequence program, which is implemented in the C programming language, can also be loaded onto the controller. This means that there is no need for a higher-level controller. as
