Tolomatic’s Drive Integration Tool Cuts Down on Servo Linear Actuator Commissioning Time

Servo linear actuators are increasingly adopted across a wide range of automation environments and ensuring compatibility between an actuator and the control architecture is critical to successful commissioning. Many drive manufacturers offer tools to match a motor and drive, but these tools are generally solely optimized to that specific manufacturer. If the design process leads outside the drive manufacturer’s ecosystem, it can be overwhelming to sift through dense catalogs to navigate available drives, motors, feedback data and cabling pinouts.

Tolomatic’s new Drive Integration Tool offers a streamlined solution. This tool lets you quickly and easily match a servo linear actuator and drive system with the correct cables and connections along with all the data you need to commission the system. Regardless of whether you’ve already selected your drive or your actuator, this tool simplifies the process. Using the drive integration tool is easy: simply select your starting point.

Starting With a Servo Linear Actuator

If you’ve already selected your Tolomatic integrated servo linear actuator, enter your model, motor, feedback specifications and whether your actuator has a brake. Next, the tool provides drive options from compatible manufacturers based on your actuator specifications. After you complete your selections, the tool generates the motor and feedback data needed for commissioning as well as suggested cables for your drive and actuator combination. The resulting commissioning data and pin diagram can be downloaded as a PDF or Excel file.

Starting With the Drive

First, select your drive from 24 different models across eight different industry-leading manufacturers. Then select your desired Tolomatic servo linear actuator, feedback code and whether it features a brake. Based on your drive and actuator combination, the drive integration tool generates the motor and feedback data needed for commissioning and suggests cables with a pin diagram.

Thanks to the drive integration tool, design engineers can easily identify a compatible drive and cable and get all the data necessary for commissioning a complete system without having to sift through several catalogs and websites. In addition to the tool, you can always ask an engineer for any guidance.
