Tolomatic ACSI integrated servo motor with Profinet

The Tolomatic ACSI integrated servo/motor/controller is now available with the Profinet industrial Ethernet protocol, allowing engineers to design easy-to-use electric actuator solutions for single-axis applications. The integrated package is suitable for replacing pneumatic cylinders and automating any simple axis of motion with Profinet-enabled PLCs.

With built-in configurations for Tolomatic electric actuators, the integrated controller automatically configures the motor, actuator, safety limits and other key settings inside the controller for quick and seamless integration. The Profinet protocol is in addition to Tolomatic’s existing EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP options for the ACSI.

As an integrated servo motor and drive, the product creates a space-saving design. The integrated package does not require space in a control cabinet, making it suitable for machine retrofits and also for displacing pneumatic cylinder applications. Available in both linear and rotary set-up, the device is easily configured to the desired user units.

Available in two sizes (NEMA 23 and 34), with peak torques up to 1.35 Nm, the product features standard M12 connectors, an IP65 rating, dual Ethernet ports with LED indicators for easy troubleshooting and a USB microprogramming port. All models come equipped with 24 VDC digital I/O (four in and two out) and 0–10 VDC or 4–20 mA analog I/O for distributed sensors and logic to expand the network. The dual Ethernet ports with integrated managed switch allow many axes of ACSI to be daisy-chained without affecting network performance.
