igus Robot Control BLDC Motor Controller

The igus Robot Control BLDC Motor Controller is a brushless DC motor controller designed for automation integrators and machine shops seeking precise multi-axis motion control on PC or tablet-supported systems.

Key Features:

• Suitable for single axes, linear gantries, surface gantries, spatial gantries, and delta robots (see delta robot options).
• Supports straightforward programming with intuitive Windows-based interface for Windows 10 systems.
• Includes seven digital inputs and outputs for integration with sensors, actuators, and other peripherals, ideal for laboratories or flexible automation layouts.
• Communication through CRI interface and ModbusTCP protocol, with gateway functionality from CANopen for connecting to Siemens and Beckhoff controllers (integration guide).

Technical Specifications:

• Power supply compatible with DIN rail or control cabinet installation requirements.
• Seven digital I/O for direct connection of automation hardware.
• Works in systems requiring up to 48V input (see controller and robot compatibility notes on the downloads page).
• Designed for use with compatible igus robots, including gripper and non-gripper variants; consult technical documentation for specific models and connections.

Applications:

• Purpose-built for tasks in automated pick-and-place, CNC machine integration, palletising, and precision movement within industrial automation cells.
• Ideal for both new automation projects and retrofits of gantry systems (gantry robots).

Compatibility and Positioning:

• igus Robot Control BLDC Motor Controller is compatible with Siemens and Beckhoff PLC integration environments, offered as an alternative to complex PLC-based solutions for streamlined brushless DC motor control.
• Engineered for use with igus automation components and robotics platforms.
