Bodine Electric Integramotor: Digital-PWM-controlled motion-control system integrates brushless dc motor

Combining a control, a 24V-dc brushless motor, a gearhead, and an optical encoder allows the digital-PWM (pulse-width-modulation)-controlled version of the vendor’s Integramotor to reduce wiring problems, assembly time, and EMI. The vendor’s controls in type 22B/FV or 34B/FV Integramotors accept PWM input from an external motion controller or PLC (programmable-logic controller). Features include amplifier enable; direction input; dynamic braking; and a built-in 256-pulse/revolution, two-channel encoder. The digital-PWM Integramotor costs $400 to $600
