What are Some Different Options for an Integrated Stepper or Servo System?

  As we all know, integration in motion control is a truism. The term integrated here refers to the fact that a range of components has been integrated into the motor. The majority of manufacturers offer stepper or servo motors with some level of control. Integrated motors are often referred to as such systems. There can be a variety of components included in an integrated motor, including the motor itself as well as a drive, controller, or encoder. At MOONS', we provide integrated stepper motors, integrated step-servo motors, and integrated servo motors for your choices.

The benefits of integration are well known. The benefits include the fact that they result in a more compact unit and eliminate the need for cables between the motor and drive, which simplifies installation and reduces the overall cost of the system. The tight integration of controls with motors and other components allows for a compact design that can fit into smaller spaces while also packing more into the same space. The use of these systems also eliminates the need for control cabinets, as the control is distributed and localized at the motor itself. Types of options can indicate which functions are included in the controls. This includes, for example, basic information such as the number of inputs and outputs and the type of signal (analog or digital). Other options may include the type of control, such as speed control, position control, and command language. In addition, there may be specific control functions such as PID loop control, program execution, I/O control, and communication options such as whether the controller is a stand-alone controller or part of a network.
