Power over Ethernet, or PoE, provides a novel power solution for Ethernet-connected devices. Today, PoE technology is being applied to motion control with the development of integrated motors that utilize a single PoE connection for both DC power and Ethernet communications. This webinar will walk through the basics of PoE and how it can be applied to motion control applications, as well as the features of integrated motors that are taking advantage of the technology.

The SLAS2020 International Conference & Exhibition takes place from January 25-29, 2020 at the San Diego Convention Center. The conference & exhibition focus on helping life sciences professionals leverage the power of technology to transform laboratory research. Registration for the event is now open.

Applied Motion Products introduces the SSDC Series of StepSERVO™ Drives that offer more digital inputs and outputs (I/O) than its integrated motor counterparts, such as secondary encoder inputs for dual position-loop control. SSDC StepSERVO Drives are separate, non-integrated drives that, when paired with existing StepSERVO Motors, can reduce replacement costs for individual motors and provide convenient wiring options for users with sufficient space in control cabinets.
