This controller supports multiple operating modes—including position, velocity, and torque control—providing flexibility for diverse applications from robotic arms to precision conveyors. Unlike basic servo drives, DSMC112 57360001-HC integrates seamlessly with industrial communication protocols like EtherCAT and PROFINET, enabling real-time synchronization with PLCs and HMI systems. Whether deployed in electronics manufacturing, packaging machinery, or automotive assembly, DSMC112 57360001-HC ensures smooth, accurate motion control, enhancing product quality and production efficiency.
Core advantages and technical highlights
High dynamic performance: DSMC112 57360001-HC delivers exceptional bandwidth and response times, with a current loop update rate of 62.5 µs. This allows it to maintain precise control even during rapid acceleration and deceleration—critical for pick-and-place robots in electronics assembly, where cycle times under 0.5 seconds demand instant adjustments. The controller’s 3x peak current capability (36 A) provides the torque needed for quick starts and stops without sacrificing accuracy.
Multi-protocol communication: Equipped with EtherCAT, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP/IP, DSMC112 57360001-HC integrates into both legacy and modern automation architectures. Its EtherCAT interface supports synchronized motion control across up to 16 axes with jitter below 1 µs, making it suitable for coordinated systems like CNC machining centers. In automotive paint shops, this synchronization ensures robots follow precise paths, maintaining uniform coating thickness on vehicle bodies.
Advanced feedback processing: DSMC112 57360001-HC supports a range of feedback devices, including high-resolution absolute encoders (EnDat 2.2) that eliminate homing sequences after power loss. The controller’s built-in feedback error compensation corrects for encoder misalignment and temperature-induced drift, ensuring positioning accuracy of ±0.01° even in harsh environments. This level of precision is essential for semiconductor wafer handling, where micron-level positioning errors can ruin expensive substrates.
Adaptive control algorithms: The controller features auto-tuning and adaptive gain scheduling that adjust parameters in real time based on load conditions. For example, in packaging machinery handling varying bottle sizes, DSMC112 57360001-HC automatically modifies its control gains to maintain stable operation, reducing setup time during product changeovers. Its vibration suppression technology minimizes resonance in mechanical systems, extending the life of belts, gears, and other motion components.
Typical application scenarios
In printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, DSMC112 57360001-HC controls the X-Y positioning system of a precision drilling machine. Operating in interpolated position mode via EtherCAT, it achieves hole-to-hole positioning accuracy of ±5 µm, critical for drilling microvias in high-density PCBs. The controller’s torque control mode ensures consistent pressure during drill bit contact, preventing substrate damage while maintaining drill feed rates up to 100 mm/s.
In medical device assembly, DSMC112 57360001-HC drives the servo motors of a robotic syringe filling system. Its PROFINET interface connects to a central PLC, enabling recipe-based control of filling volumes with ±0.1% accuracy. The controller’s quick response to pressure feedback ensures precise liquid dispensing, even when handling viscous materials like adhesives or pharmaceuticals. During changeover between syringe sizes, auto-tuning reduces setup time by 70% compared to manual tuning methods.
