SOMANET
NODE

Highest current density
for maximum power

The compact and efficient SOMANET Nodes servo drives outperform comparable products many times over in terms of power density. They support all PMSM, synchronous AC and BLDC motors up to 60 V and 100 A / 66 A_rms and have an EtherCAT interface with CiA DS 402 protocol.

SOMANET nodes increase the performance of motors and gearboxes in your drive control systems thanks to intelligent algorithms. They enable precise and at the same time fast movements of your robots and can precisely regulate the position, speed and acceleration of a robot arm.

All functions of the SOMANET Node series are compatible with OBLAC Tools, an easy-to-use yet powerful tool suite for commissioning and motion tuning.

Maximum power
for servo drives

HIGHEST CURRENT DENSITY ON THE MARKET

Unique performance with minimal heat generation.

UNSURPASSED INTEGRATION SUPPORT

The maximum power output is usually much higher thanks to optimum integration.

ADVANCED INTERFERENCE COMPENSATION

Detects sensor noise, non-linearities in the motor and gearbox as well as cogging torque.

Frameless EMC

Electromagnetic compatibility, the ability of a technical device not to interfere with other devices through unwanted electrical or electromagnetic effects or to be interfered with by other devices.

CERTIFIED FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

Has TÜV-certified STO and SBC functions at SIL3 PLe level.

TO THE SHOP

ULTRA COMPACT

Elimination of the control cabinet, massive cable savings and significantly reduced complexity of the application.

Versatile

3 modules of a SOMANET node in several performance levels as well as basic safety functions.

EFFICIENT

Smooth-running drives with low thermal output and very high motion control performance.

Servo drive in 3 modules

A SOMANET Node consists of three modules: communication (Com), processor (Core) and drive module. Several standard options are available for each of these modules. We can also develop customer-specific modules for you on request.
SOMANET Node Safety also has TÜV-certified STO and SBC functions at SIL3 PLe level.

INTELLIGENT ALGORITHMS
for maximum EFFICIENCY

Experience motor phase monitoring at high speed and high resolution. This is how motion control of the future will work. The SOMANET software stack offers a model-predictive field-oriented control approach - Model Predicitve Deadbeat Control.

Thanks to this technology, you can achieve perfectly smooth and quiet running drives with low heat dissipation.

PERMANENT CONTROL

Consistently calculates the processes in the connected motor.

FLEXIBLE RESPONSE

Can spontaneously select from a range of control strategies.

MAXIMUM ADAPTABILITY

Adapts to the current load situation.

OPTIMUM MOTOR PHASE CONTROL

Reacts to the exact motor geometry.

MORE INTELLIGENCE
IN SERVO DRIVES

Synapticon's drives can communicate with a large number of feedback encoders, torque and force sensors. The Synapticon nodes respond to touch-sensitive skins and interpret LiDAR data (customized solutions).

Our servo drive systems can be combined locally with your own software. This allows you to implement reflexes based on sensor signals and other customer-specific algorithms directly on the drive.

INTEGRATION into motion control systems

Servo drives enable robots to perform precise and fast movements. This is why they are used in many sectors, such as in the automotive, electronics and packaging industries.

INTEGRATION IN MOTION CONTROL SYSTEMS

Synapticon's SOMANET solutions for integrated servo drives are compatible with any EtherCAT motion control system that supports the CiA 402 Drive Specification, such as TwinCAT, CoDeSys or MOTORCORTEX.

Commissioning and tuning is performed with the extremely easy-to-use Synapticon OBLAC Drive Tools, which can be installed on the PC or are available in the handy OBLAC Drives Box.
