Key Features:
  • Decentralized intelligence with no cables needed between motor and driver.
  • EMC safety with contained switching noise.
  • Compact design for space-saving.
  • Driver voltage options include 1x115/230 or 3x400VAC, and 24VDC for control circuits.
  • Optional built-in brake and multiturn absolute encoder.
  • CE and UL approved, with IP55 and IP66 protection ratings.
  • Various interface options such as RS232/RS485/RS422, Ethernet, Profibus-DP, CanOpen, etc.
System and Feature Overview: The MAC motor can replace step or servo systems using pulse and direction signals, with built-in electronic gear for step resolution simulation. Configurations are done via RS232 from a Windows program. Available power ratings are 400, 750, 1500, or 3000W, with standard flanges for easy replacement.
Modes of Operation:
  • Gear Mode: Operates like a step motor system with encoder feedback.

The MAC motor®. AC-servo motors with integrated driver MAC400 to MAC3000-1

The MAC series of brushless servo motors with integrated electronics represents a major step forward. All the necessary electronics in a servo system are integrated in the motor itself. In the past, a traditional motor system has typically been based on a central controller unit located remote from the motor. This configuration however has the negative effect that installation costs are a major part of the total expense of building machinery. The basic idea of the MAC motors is to minimize these costs but also to make a component that is much better protected against electrical noise which can be a typical problem when using long cables between the controller and motor. The servo motor, hall sensor, encoder and electronics are specially developed by JVL so that together they form a closed unit in which the power driver and controller are mounted inside the motor in a closed section. The advantages of this solution are: • De-central intelligence. • Simple installation. No cables between motor and driver. • EMC safe. Switching noise remains within motor. • Compact. Does not take space in cabinet. Typically a 3/5 core cable is used from PLC or similar to MAC motor. • 1x115/230 or 3x400VAC for driver voltage. • 24VDC for control circuits. • Option for built-in brake and/or multiturn absolute encoder. • Uses the same expansion modules as the MAC 50-141series. • Built-in mains supply filter. • CE approved/UL approved (400,800) or pending (1500-3000). • IP55 and IP66 • gPLC built-in. • Low price. Interface possibilities to the MAC motor: • From PC/PLC with drive commands via RS232/RS485/RS422 • 2 x analogue inputs ±10V input for speed or torque control - 11 bit + sign. • Pulse/dir. or quadrature inputs. • A+B encoder output. • Module option for Ethernet, Profi-bus-DP, CanOpen, Devicenet, Highspeed serial bus etc. The MAC motor can be controlled with ±10V for speed or torque control with encoder feedback to one master motion controller. 1

Continued on next page Furthermore the MAC motor can replace an arbitrary step or servo system, being based on pulse and direction signals. There is a built-in electronic gear so that the MAC motor can simulate all possible step resolutions. The MAC motor can thus replace all step- and servo-systems without change in the PLC/PC/controller software. Adaptation/replacement of existing step motor/servo systems can therefore be achieved quickly. Parameters are set up via the RS232 port from a Windows program. The supply voltage is 115 or 230VAC for the drive MAC400 and MAC800 and 3x400VAC for MAC1500...

MAC402 Integrated Servo Motor 12-48 VDC Features: You have the exact same features as in the AC-version, MAC400. Only difference is that MAC402 do not have an extra M16 connector for external power dump, since the breaking power is used for charging the battery supply (alternatively the DC power supply must be able to handle return power from the motor). In many applications it is not necessary to choose a 750W or larger motor as the 400W (1200W peak) motor will be sufficient, thereby reducing cost and saving space. MAC402 options include: Brake, absolute multi turn encoder, and planetary & cycloidal...
