MDMst

ACS launches a new compact single-axis EtherCAT® Mini Drive Module for OEM machine designers. The MDMst is the first member of the Mini-universal Drive Module (MDM) series of EtherCAT-based drives. Its small form factor allows OEMs with demanding motion control applications to develop even more compact machines. Controllable by any ACS SPiiPlus™ Platform EtherCAT master, it leverages powerful servo control algorithms to maximize motion system performance, while its universal servo drive technology provides the system designer flexibility to control most types of motors or stages.

The MDMst’s small form factor allows it to be mounted close to the axis it is controlling, reducing cabling. Or it can fit in smaller systems where cabinet space is limited or non-existent, like in table top equipment.
