Tolomatic ACS actuator servo drive/controller with ethernet

The ACS actuator control solution from Tolomatic is an easy-to-use, low-cost servo or stepper drive and controller developed specifically for use with electric actuators, providing infinite positioning, precise control and longer life. Originally offered as a stepper system, the newly released ACS with servo drive and control provides over 10 times the power of a stepper system, with the same easy-to-use operating modes.

The ACS servo and stepper drives are intended to be controlled from a PLC or master controller via 24 VDC digital I/O, 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA analog I/O, Ethernet or Modbus RTU over RS485  (EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP protocols).

Additional modes include Pneumatic mode, which allows the system to replace pneumatic logic without reprogramming the PLC by simply configuring position and velocity for two or three positions; Index Move mode to allow the user to configure 16 moves as absolute, incremental, jog, force or home moves; and Analog Position mode, controlled by a 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA analog input, with an option to mirror the position via 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA analog output.

The ACS servo drive/controller operates on a 10-60 VDC bus and is offered with a wide variety of NEMA 23 or 34 frame servo motors. The ACS stepper drive/controller operates on 24 VDC and is offered with a wide variety of NEMA 11, 17 and 23 frame stepper motors. The digital I/O is configurable in either 24 VDC opto-isolated, NPN or PNP.
