Industrial Network Products
Motor control via network communication can detect the status of the motor directly by data. This results in a shorter development period and increased reliability and maintainability of the equipment. By expanding the network compatible product lineup, Oriental Motor meets diversifying network environments of factory automation.
Network-compatible products offer the following benefit:
- Simple wiring achieves space saving for wiring and smaller equipment size.
- Transmission distance can be extended making wiring route design easier and enables products to be positioned in appropriate locations.
- Simple wiring achieves a reduction in man-hours for the wiring process and in the cost of wiring.
- Operating status is monitored by product input/output information, alarm, etc. This achieves improved maintainability via the system.
- Simple wiring makes wiring and checking process easier when replacing the product.
