Designed for easy-to-use, cost-effective servo control, the ACSI integrated servo motor controller for electric actuators is ideal for replacing pneumatic cylinders and automating other axes of motion.

HAMEL, Minn. - Tolomatic's new ACSI integrated servo motor with ODVA™ conformant EtherNet/IP™ features a keyed Add-on Profile (AOP) and a full suite of Add-on instructions (AOI) for easy, seamless integration into Rockwell Automation PLCs. The ACSI servo motor controller creates an all-in-one (motor/drive/controller) electric actuator solution for single-axis applications.

Available in two sizes (NEMA 23 & 34), the ACSI servo motor control features easy-to-use operating modes such as digital I/O index moves, analog position (0-10Vdc or 4-20mA), ODVA™ conformant EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus TCP.

"The EtherNet/IP implementation is very robust with ODVA conformance and has already passed an EtherNet/IP PlugFest event," said Nick Holmgard, product marketing manager, Tolomatic, Inc. "Furthermore, it supports Device Level Ring for highest level of network reliability."

The EtherNet/IP implementation is based on an I/O assembly object that does not require a motion axis from a Rockwell Automation motion PLC. This allows any number of ancillary axes of motion to be added in without increasing the cost of the PLC by adding additional motion axes. The dual-port Ethernet implementation allows for any network topology: star, daisy chain or ring, enabling many drives to be controlled by a PLC or master controller via EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP.

The ACSI is designed to be controlled from a PLC or master controller via 24 Vdc digital I/O, 0-10 Vdc or 4-20ma analog I/O, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP.

Integrating the drive/controller into the servo motor saves space on the machine by eliminating the drive box. Designed for easy-to-use, cost-effective servo control, the ACSI is ideal for replacing pneumatic cylinders and automating other axes of motion. With built-in configurations for all of Tolomatic's electric actuators, the ACSI creates linear motion quickly and easily in the desired linear units (mm or inch) via a USB or Ethernet port.

Additional features include a standard IP65 rating, industry standard M12 connectors, dual Ethernet ports with LED indicators and a USB programming port. The ACSI supports a rotary axes and third-party actuator control. When the ACSI is ordered with a Tolomatic actuator, Tolomatic will mount the motor, configure it for the actuator, and fully test the system before shipping to the customer.
