ICE57 All-in-one 1.3Nm 4A 2 Phase Closed Loop EtherCAT Communication Bus Stepper

Product Specification

ICE57 EtherCAT Integrated Closed-Loop 2-Phase Stepper Motor (1.3N·m/4A)
 
The ICE57 EtherCAT Integrated Closed-Loop 2-Phase Stepper Motor (1.3N·m/4A) is an intelligent actuator integrating motor, driver, encoder, and EtherCAT bus. It features closed-loop anti-step-loss and EtherCAT high-speed synchronization, making it ideal for high-precision positioning applications with medium and small loads.
 
Core Parameters
 
- Motor: 2-phase hybrid stepper motor with a step angle of 1.8°; holding torque of 1.3N·m; rated current of 4A per phase and peak current of 6–8A; body length of approximately 65–75mm; shaft diameter of 8mm.

- Encoder: Incremental encoder with 1000/2500/4000 PPR (2500 PPR as standard), absolute encoder optional; positioning accuracy up to ±0.01mm level with position detection available immediately after power-on.

- Driver: Equipped with 32-bit MCU; supports EtherCAT (CoE/CiA402) protocol and is compatible with pulse+direction control; powered by DC 24–60V; supports CSP, PP, PV, Homing and other control modes.

- Communication: 100Mbps transmission rate with dual RJ45 cascade connection; synchronization cycle as low as 500μs; supports 1–255 node addresses for multi-axis networking.

- Protection: Integrated protection functions against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, overheating, position deviation and encoder abnormality, enhancing system stability.
 
Core Advantages
 
1. Integrated Design: Reduces wiring complexity, saves installation space, improves anti-interference capability, and facilitates easier installation and maintenance.

2. Closed-Loop Anti-Step-Loss: Real-time position feedback via encoder enables dynamic adjustment by the driver, preventing step loss during high-speed or heavy-load operation and ensuring high positioning accuracy.

3. High-Efficiency EtherCAT: Minimizes multi-axis synchronization error; supports real-time parameter reading/writing and fault diagnosis; compatible with unified management by PLC/motion controllers.

4. Flexible Control: Supports position, speed and torque control modes; can be triggered by EtherCAT commands or IO signals to meet complex motion requirements.

5. Low Noise & Low Heat Generation: Vector control and variable current technology ensure stable operation at medium and high speeds with low noise; reduces motor heat generation by approximately 30% compared to traditional drivers.
 
Typical Applications
 
High-precision positioning scenarios with medium and small loads such as 3C electronic dispensing/screw locking, automated production line transferring/sorting, medical testing equipment, and small laser marking machines.
 
Selection & Commissioning Tips
 
1. Load Matching: Reserve a 20%–30% torque margin based on load conditions and acceleration/deceleration requirements.

2. Encoder Selection: Choose absolute encoder if position memory is required after power-off; select incremental encoder for cost-effectiveness.

3. Power Supply & Current: Use DC 24–60V power supply; ensure peak current does not exceed 8A to avoid overload.

4. Control Mode Confirmation: Verify support for required modes (CSP/PP/PV/Homing) to match upper-level controller functions.

5. Installation & Commissioning: Adopt standard 57-series motor mounting holes; cascade via dual RJ45 ports for EtherCAT communication; set node addresses and parameters using configuration tools; monitor position, speed and current status during operation.
 
Troubleshooting
 
- Communication Failure: Check network cable connections and IP settings; confirm configuration matching between master and slave stations.

- Positioning Inaccuracy: Inspect encoder wiring and resolution settings; optimize PID parameters and acceleration/deceleration curves.

- Abnormal Heat Generation: Reduce continuous operating current; check heat dissipation conditions and ambient temperature; ensure proper load matching.
