Integrated motors with power over Ethernet
Applied Motion Products
The TSM14POE StepServo Integrated Motor (photo) with Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality commonly used in IT applications, such as wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones. PoE technology provides d.c. power and Ethernet communications over a single cable, enabling innovative solutions for space-constrained and remote locations. The TSM14POE StepServo Integrated Motor with PoE technology offers a complete motion-control solution with a motor, encoder, drive and controller combined in a single integrated motor package. Eliminating the need to connect motor power and feedback cables to an external motor controller, the integrated motor receives its power and Ethernet communications over a single cable for greater design modularity and installation simplicity. The motor is built upon the company’s StepServo Closed Loop Stepper Technology, which provides numerous benefits over conventional, open-loop step motor systems including higher torque and greater efficiency. — Applied Motion Products, Watsonville, Calif.
