Lenze 9400 Servo Range

Lenze has announced an extension of industrial Ethernet support for its 9400 servo drive range. Alongside existing PROFINET and POWERLINK modules, Lenze has now added EtherCAT to the range. As a result, all 9400 servo drives can have connectivity to external devices with EtherCAT.

This industrial real-time Ethernet bus is characterised by high baud rates thanks to the one-total-frame protocol and the associated minimised telegram overheads. Even when transmitting the smallest data volumes such as those commonly encountered in automation, the entire bandwidth provided by Ethernet is fully utilised.

Users of CANopen will also be familiar with DS301 port mapping, which is compatible with the EtherCAT module. This function determines which of the servo controller’s internal data objects is extracted by the module via process data channels. The controller’s process and service data (parameterisation and diagnostics data) can both be read and written via the EtherCAT module.
