JVL IO-Link

IO-Link is becoming increasingly popular as low cost alternative to Ethernet and other serial protocols.
JVL motors can now also connect to IO-Link with a build in IO-Link for fast and easy interface. It does not use external gateway or CPU but communicate directly with JVL main microprocessor for fast response time. Normally would you think IO-Link with a 230 kbit serial communication is a slow compared to Ethernet but with JVL FastMAC 2 byte protocol can response time <1mS be achieved.
IO-link will be supported on all new JVL motors like MAC motor® integrated servo MACxx04/02 series and ServoStep™ integrated MISxx stepper motors.

 

• Mode66 for 6 in and 6 out registers similar to the well known JVL Ethernet concept
• Mode88 for 8 in and 8 out 100% user configurable register setup, similar to the well known JVL Ethernet concept
• Conformance tool tested and passed
• IO-Link standard 1.1.4 supported
• Specialized Gripper mode Simple control with high servo-controlled accuracy

 

 

• Format adjustment. Replacement of handwheel adjustment
• Gripper with high precision and dynamics using the JVL ServoStepper control system
• Pick and place operations. Move between 2-8 pre-selected positions with pre-configured velocity, acceleration and torque setting
• Air-cylinder replacement with precise acceleration and speed control
• Setup axis, only requiring a minimal bandwidth and no hard timing or synchronization requirement
