The MDrive Ethernet system features an integrated motor, drive, and fully programmable controller with a standardized IP addressing system.

Features & benefits

  • Allows up to 255 devices on a network while eliminating the complicated wiring and software configuring of multidrop systems using RS-422/485 communications; uses standard RJ45 connectors and CAT5/6 cabling

  • Hybrid Motion Technology (hardware-based system for real-time response) delivers smooth movement while eliminating unintentional stalling

  • Also saves energy, lowers heat with variable current setting, allows operation at 100% of motor torque, and operates in Torque Mode, a unique feature for steppers
