The Package
AMCI's SMD23E2 Networked Series is a size 23 3-in-1 Integrated Stepper Motor, Drive, and Controller package with network interface. It is a self-contained motion control product that is easy to install while delivering best in class performance at a competitive price.
AMCI's SMD23E2 Network Series incorporates a Stepper Motor + Drive + Controller into a single product that interfaces to your PLC or PAC over the network (EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, and Profinet). We've reduced total system costs and simplified installation because you only have to purchase one product versus a separate controller, drive, and motor. Plus, programming & configuration is streamlined because it uses standard commands through your PLC's software that are communicated over the network. No additional software is required, and you don't need to learn another programming language! AMCI's SMD23E2 Networked Series integrates with your PLC or PAC, saving you time and money.
Superior Durability
All units come standard with rugged industrial M12 connectors to provide superior durability. For applications requiring an IP64 or IP67 rating you can opt for an SMD23E2 Networked Series unit with a shaft seal.
Move Verification
AMCI's SMD23E2 Networked Series is available with an optional incremental or absolute encoder for move verification and closed-loop feedback.
Flexible
If you're seeking flexibility, AMCI's SMD23E2 Networked Series scores high marks. We've made it easy to add stepper axes wherever you need them on your EtherNet/IP, Modbus-TCP, and/or Profinet network, just plug in another SMD23E2 Networked Series and configure your motion axis over the network with our simple web server - done.
Extras:
E2 Technology by AMCI is an innovative new multi-protocol approach to Ethernet distributed I/O. Supported protocols include EtherNet/IP™, Modbus-TCP, and PROFINET.
● Dual-Port Networking
● Multi-Protocol
● Web Server
● Native Software
The SMD23E2 has a built-in Ethernet switch. The embedded switch provides a network connection for additional devices without increasing the nodes on your existing ethernet switch. Fault tolerant connections can detect a break in the network and redirect the network traffic maintaining communication and system up-time. See the DLR video tutorial on the bottom of the page to learn more.
AMCI’s SynchroStep technology enables coordinated motion control between the SMD23E2 and Allen-Bradley motion axes (servo, VFD, etc). The SMD23E2 can be synchronized and geared to a master Virtual axis within the PLC, filling a gap that currently exists in the industry for small, inexpensive synchronized motion solution offerings. The SMD Series’ unique approach to PLC-integration simplifies configuration, programming, and coordinated motion.
