The amplifier family implements CANopen drive profile.

Yaskawa Electric America (Waukegan, IL) announces the release of the EtherCAT and Fully Closed Loop option modules for its Sigma-5 servo amplifier product family. The amplifier family:

• Implements CANopen drive profile.
• Allows user to control various mode that include cyclic synchronous position, cyclic synchronous velocity, cyclic synchronous torque, interpolated position, profile position, profile velocity or profile torque (EtherCAT).
• Allows user to control various architects that include line, star, tree or daisy chain (EtherCAT).
• Allows user to close position loop around secondary feedback device (Closed Loop).
• Eliminates the effects of mechanical and thermal variances of mechanical components (Closed Loop).
