Animatics Corporation achieves another industry first with the Add-A-Motor™ serial configuration cable. With Add-A-Motor cables and your SmartMotors, you get an entire “off the shelf” servo system solution, including the cables, that is ready to plug and play. The fully-molded Add-A-Motor cable connects SmartMotor to SmartMotor in a daisy-chain configuration for serial operation, thus eliminating the need to create custom, multi-axis cable configurations for each SmartMotor application. Add-A-Motor cables are designed specifically to supply DC power and RS-232 communications to multiple SmartMotor 1700 and 2300 Series motors.Add-A-Motor cables, with fully-molded connector ends and durable high-flex cable, increase the reliability of SmartMotor installations by reducing the incidence of servo system failure.Each Add-A-Motor cable has a female 7-pin SmartMotor 7W2 Combo-D-sub connector on one end and a female 7-pin 7W2 D-sub connector backed by a male 7-pin connector on the other end to transmit and receive data between SmartMotors. The cable on the compact dual connector end is displaced to the side to permit easy placement of the next Add-A-Motor cable. Add-A-Motor cables come in four standard lengths to help you eliminate tangled cabling in tight spaces and keep cables organized in serial SmartMotor applications. Standard lengths are: 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, and 7.5 meters. Animatics Corporation is the world leader in integrated motion control.
