High-Speed MODBUS With Integrated Servo Motors MAC400 and MAC800 From JVL!
Birkerød, Denmark and Morrow, OH (USA) -- JVL Industri Elektronik A/S, a world leader in integrated motion control servo and stepper motors, now offers yet another feature: The latest firmware for the integrated servo motors MAC400 and MAC800 now supports the MODBUS RTU protocol.
The implementation supports the Read Holding Registers and Write Multiple Registers commands, which will give R/W access to all motor registers at speeds up to 1 Mbit/s, though typically the PC standard rates of 9600..115200 and 230400 bits/s would be used.
New High Power Sensorless Brushless Motor Drives. from Koford Engineering!
Koford Engineering LLC has introduced a new line of high power compact high efficiency sensorless motion control drives for operation for 12 to 52 volt applications, with current up to 20 amps. These 960 watt drives have efficiency up to 99% and a PWM frequency of 56k for cool motor operation. These drives can operate low inductance slotless motors without requiring any external inductance. Open loop, and digital closed loop versions are available. Analog, digital. RC PWM speed comm and manual speed pot inputs are offered. All versions can be used right out of the box without any programing, or any switches or knobs that need to be adjusted and no configuration requirements.

"Gotcha Stick" from STI Features New Dimensions for Human Arm
Scientific Technologies, Inc. (STI), introduces the new "Gotcha Stick" Safe Distance Scale. This three-segment safe distance stick accurately tests the allowable barrier opening size based on the distance from the point of operation. It features English measurements on one side, and Metric measurements on the other.
Although not officially adopted by OSHA, the "Gotcha Stick" is based on data from "A Review of Machine-Guarding Recommendations," by Donald R. Vaillancourt and Stover H. Snook of the Liberty Mutual Research Center for Health & Safety. This data redefines the dimensions of the human arm for the purposes of machine guarding. The resulting new stick has been modified to include openings of less than 1/4 inch over the first 1/2 inch distance.
MotionShop.com Puts the Spotlight on Motion Control Publications!
Entertainment Engineering An Online Magazine for Motion Control Engineers!
Entertainment Engineering is a magazine that covers hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics, software, and electromechanical motion control technologies that are used in many types of entertainment devices and events such as movies, concerts, theme and amusement parks, electronic games, and racing and sporting events. Co-founder Terry Persun explains why it was important to maintain the look and feel of a magazine at www.entertainmentengineering.com . "We felt that many web sites, especially the web sites of engineering magazines, are confusing to readers who may not easily identify which portions are editorial and which portions are purchased advertisements that are not subject to the scrutiny and integrity of editors," says Persun. "That confusion is absent on our web site."
