Fieldbus interfaces

The digital servo drives TrioDrive D, MidiDrive D and MaxiDrive are equipped with serial interfaces for connection to a PC or a higher-level controller; fieldbus interfaces are available optionally. Based upon TrioDrive D/xS and MidiDrive D/xS, we offer drive systems specially optimized for use in automation networks and equipped with a fieldbus interface as a standard.

Depending on the servo drive family, the following fieldbuses are available:

EtherCAT
Ethernet TCP/IP
CANopen
Profibus DP
Modbus
Interbus

The DRIVECOM profile 22 is used for data exchange with all fieldbuses listed here.
