Stores pertinent mechanical and electronic motor data such as serial number, type, parameters and manufacturer specifications.

B&R Industrial Automation (Roswell, GA) has announced the latest enhancement to its family of servo, synchronous, and torque motors: the embedded parameter chip. This integrated chip:

• Stores pertinent mechanical and electronic motor data such as serial number, type, parameters and manufacturer specifications.
• Makes the entire power transmission system clearly identifiable in the application program.
• Reads the motor data from the encoder.
• Determines the current control parameters to guarantee optimal control of the motor.
• Reduces the time and resources required for manual entry of motor data during commissioning.
• Eliminates any margin for error.
• Supports automatic system configuration.
