Motion Control topic

We are looking for a reliable, cost effective Servo drive/amplifier that supports BUS technology. We have a simple motion control application where we use Kollmorgen AKM33H Servo motors. The application has two axes. We prefer to access the Amplifier from ControlLogix PLC using Ethernet IP or Profibus. Thanks for your support in advance.

What BUS are you referring to? Power Bus, Comms Bus?

Comm Bus. We prefer Ethernet or Profibus to access from ControlLogix PLC. Thanks.

The ServoStar from Kollmorgen has profibus, I don't know if it has ethernet, but if it is a AKM Kollmorgen motor then use a Kollmorgen drive, if you don't like the Kollmorgen drive let me know and I'll see what I can come up with...but we have had several ServoStar drives for several years with no problems or failures...so I don't know much about them other than I don't have to look at them much or at all (unlike the AB drives we got)
