With CANopen interface, up to 127 Brushless DC Motors can be connected with single, shielded 2-wire cable. Data may be transmitted at speeds up to 125 kBd at distances over 550 yards. At lower baud rates, transmission distance can exceed 3 miles, making communications flexible to virtually any location. Able to withstand up to 80 Vdc regenerative energy, CANopen-enabled motors utilize 2 safety inputs to cut down power in motor even if microprocessor has failed.
