Overview

The compact and efficient SOMANET Nodes servo drives outperform comparable products many times over in terms of power density. They support all PMSM, synchronous AC and BLDC motors up to 60 V and 100 A / 66 A_rms and have an EtherCAT interface with CiA DS 402 protocol.

SOMANET nodes increase the performance of motors and gearboxes in your drive control systems thanks to intelligent algorithms. They enable precise and at the same time fast movements of your robots and can precisely regulate the position, speed and acceleration of a robot arm.

All functions of the SOMANET Node series are compatible with OBLAC Tools, an easy-to-use yet powerful tool suite for commissioning and motion tuning.

Specifications

Maximum power for servo drives

HIGHEST CURRENT DENSITY ON THE MARKET

Unique performance with minimal heat generation.

UNSURPASSED INTEGRATION SUPPORT

The maximum power output is usually much higher thanks to optimum integration.

ADVANCED INTERFERENCE COMPENSATION

Detects sensor noise, non-linearities in the motor and gearbox as well as cogging torque.

Frameless EMC

Electromagnetic compatibility, the ability of a technical device not to interfere with other devices through unwanted electrical or electromagnetic effects or to be interfered with by other devices.

CERTIFIED FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

Has TÜV-certified STO and SBC functions at SIL3 PLe level.


ULTRA COMPACT
Elimination of the control cabinet, massive cable savings and significantly reduced complexity of the application.

Versatile
3 modules of a SOMANET node in several performance levels as well as basic safety functions.

EFFICIENT
Smooth-running drives with low thermal output and very high motion control performance.


INTELLIGENT ALGORITHMS for maximum EFFICIENCY

Experience motor phase monitoring at high speed and high resolution. This is how motion control of the future will work. The SOMANET software stack offers a model-predictive field-oriented control approach - Model Predicitve Deadbeat Control.

Thanks to this technology, you can achieve perfectly smooth and quiet running drives with low heat dissipation.

  • PERMANENT CONTROL
    Consistently calculates the processes in the connected motor.

  • FLEXIBLE RESPONSE
    Can spontaneously select from a range of control strategies.

  • MAXIMUM ADAPTABILITY
    Adapts to the current load situation.

  • OPTIMUM MOTOR PHASE CONTROL
    Reacts to the exact motor geometry.



MORE INTELLIGENCE IN SERVO DRIVES

Synapticon's drives can communicate with a large number of feedback encoders, torque and force sensors. The Synapticon nodes respond to touch-sensitive skins and interpret LiDAR data (customized solutions).

Our servo drive systems can be combined locally with your own software. This allows you to implement reflexes based on sensor signals and other customer-specific algorithms directly on the drive.
