Exlar Tritex II electric actuators with CANopen support

Exlar Corporation has released the CANopen communication protocol for its Tritex II product line. This enhancement allows the Tritex II to become an integral part of control architecture or machine control processes.

CANopen is available on Tritex II AC and Tritex II DC actuators. The Tritex II with the CANopen network is intended to perform as a slave with a CANopen master. It does not have the features of a stand-alone indexer like other Tritex models. Set-up of the system is most easily achieved with the Expert software using the RS485 port. The latest revision of the Expert software supports all the Tritex products including CANopen and is available on the Exlar website for download.

Customer connections for CANopen are offered with either an M12 connector or wired directly to a terminal strip on the connection board with 75, 90 and 115 mm frame sizes.
