Dunkermotoren
Revolution inside
Dunkermotoren continues to develop and refine their product offering with their new BLDC motor design. The BG 65 (S) from Dunkermotoren is probably the most sold industrial DC servomotor with completely integrated motor electronics. With the BG 65/ BG 66 dMove Dunkermotoren launches successor products now.
The outward appearance of this series with simple control electronics, (formerly represented by “SI” motors, now called “dMove”) is mechanically interchangeable with previous versions. Inside the motors, there is are new control electronics. Already in I/O version it allows to assign functions to the digital inputs - from simple speed controlling via analog input or fixed speed via digital inputs to combinations of current and speed control optimization. Also, digital outputs can be assigned to functions. In addition to the electronics upgrade, the motor was optimized to reach higher output power. All of these new features provide enhanced performance in a very cost effective package.Compared to the former “SI” motors, it is possible to integrate dMove versions as slaves in CANopen networks and to control them via profile CiA 402 or even simpler programming via Dunkermotoren quick start commands. Here, all functionalities include positioning, speed and current operation are available. For projects, Dunkermotoren offers versions of the motor which are parameterized and controlled via an RS 485 interface. Dunkermotorens newly developed commissioning software “Drive Assistant 5” helps to set up the motors intuitively.
The dMove series is suitable for a wide variety of applications which do not require a highresolution encoder. However, if you have applications with higher resolution requirements, the BG 65 (S) PI, MI and CI are still available.
