SOMANET CIRCULO IS A FULL FEATURED SERVO DRIVE

Whether you are planning a collaborative robotic arm, a service robot or an automated logistics solution:
With our compact and efficient, high-performance, decentral servo drives, OEMs such as robot manufacturers and machine builders can utilize Synapticon’s advanced motion control technology to realize better products inless time. 

• Works with any type of PMSM/BLDC motor up to 60V and 60Arms
• Model-predictive Field-oriented Control for high efficiency, maximum bandwidth
• Dual-loop control, gain-scheduling, high frequency control loops
• EtherCAT interface with high frequency (up to 4kHz), low latency, negligible jitter
• Support for 2 position feedbacks of any type, torque sensors, KTY / PT1000
• Motor Brake control with power saving mode and special latching brake algorithm
• Most comprehensive set of certified safety features and much more…

INTEGRATED BRAKE SYSTEM 

SOMANET Circulo now comes with a BRAKE System preventing the motor from unwanted rotary motion.

• Motor speed is reduced to a low level before the brake latches
• The brake prevents the motor from unwanted rotary motion
  (e.g. in case of power loss)
• The Circulo Brake System is a perfect match for application such
  as inside robot arms and mobile robots

…SAFETY FIRST

DEFINING THE FUTURE FOR TRUE HUMAN-ROBOT COLLABORATION. 

The optional Safe Motion Module for Circulo allows for SIL3 PL e level safe motion functions over FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT). Implement your application according to ISO/TS 15066.

• STO – SAFE TORQUE OFF
• SBC – SAFE BRAKE CONTROL
• SBT – SAFE BRAKE TEST*
• SS1 – SAFE STOP 1
• SS2 – SAFE STOP 2
• SLS – SAFELY LIMITED SPEED
• SLP – SAFELY LIMITED POSITION*
• SLT – SAFELY LIMITED TORQUE*
• SAFE VELOCITY PROCESS DATA
• SAFE POSITION PROCESS DATA
• SAFE TORQUE PROCESS DATA
• SAFE DIGITAL GPIO AND ANALOG INPUTS

*Functions must be implemented inside safety controller using safe process data.
