Tolomatic ACS actuator stepper drive/controller with ethernet

The addition of ethernet connectivity to Tolomatic’s ACS stepper drive/controller brings greater flexibility and economy to electric actuator applications. The ACS with ethernet supports both EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, allowing easy connectivity to Allen Bradley PLCs and many other PLCs and HMIs. With built-in configurations for all of Tolomatic’s electric actuators, the ACS with ethernet makes creating linear motion simple. The combination of the ACS and Tolomatic’s ERD low-cost, rod-style electric actuators creates very economical solutions for automation applications such as product changeovers, diverting, sorting, pick-and-place or pressing.

The ACS with ethernet is capable of commanding motion with immediate move command or preconfigured moves for infinite position capability. Each move has configurable motion profile parameters (position, velocity, acceleration/deceleration, force) that are independent for each move. The ethernet connectivity also provides additional status and diagnostic information to the control system for better monitoring and fault recovery.

The ACS with ethernet comes complete with a starter kit that includes the configuration software and two set-up manuals.
