TXM24C-3CG

The TXM24C-3CG integrated StepSERVO™ is a drive+motor unit, fusing a NEMA 24 step motor and a servo drive into a single device. Power to the drive, located at the rear of the motor, must be supplied by an external DC supply. StepSERVO technology combines the high torque capabilities of a step motor with the closed loop dynamic control of a servo system. The result is a highly customizable all-in-one motion control solution that operates quietly and efficiently, requiring only the minimum amount of current to maintain commanded position and velocity. Boost torque of 25-50% higher than the rated holding torque that is available from this integrated StepSERVO motor increases the limits of acceleration, leading to faster cycle times. With software selectable servo loops that have been pre-tuned for various inertial loads, the TXM StepSERVO can be applied in systems where a traditional stepper would not be capable of achieving the high accuracy required.

The TXM24C-3CG integrated StepSERVO motor features support for the CANopen protocol, along with Q programmability for distributed control within the network. Supported CiA specifications 301 and 402 provide major functionality for operation within a CAN network. Supported modes include Profile Position, Profile Velocity, and Homing modes, as well as the ability to run stored Q programs via Applied Motion-specific CANopen objects. Q programs are created using Applied Motion’s Q Programmer™ software, which provides powerful commands for motion, I/O, conditional processing, multi-tasking, math functions, and more.

All TXM24 units are setup, configured and tuned using Applied Motion’s Step-Servo Quick Tuner software with built in Q Programmer. Each TXM24 CANopen integrated StepSERVO comes with 5 digital inputs and 3 digital output. The digital inputs accept signals of 5-24 VDC and can be used for connecting end-of-travel limit switches, jog switches, quadrature encoder signals, PLC outputs, sensors, or many other signal types. The digital output can be connected to PLC inputs, counters, lights, relays, or other devices. The TXM24C-3CG comes with a combined RS-232/CAN port for programming and communications. An additional CAN port allows for easy daisy chaining of multiple integrated motors. All TXM24 models are RoHS compliant. The TXM motors also meet IP65 standards to ensure reliable operation in wet and dusty installation environments.
