Motor Drives and Control Units

Motor drive controllers are essential for safe and reliable operation of electric motors. They are responsible for controlling the speed, direction, and torque of a motor’s movements. In some cases a control can provide a link between a motor and power supply, and even protect against power overload.

dryve motor drive controllers from igus make integration as simple as possible by eliminating the need for any programming. There are options for controlling DC, stepper, and BL/DC motors, each of which can be paired with our drylin linear systems to create a complete solution. dryve controllers like the D1 and D2 can communicate via modbus TCP gateways and CANopen for greater flexibility and functionality. Additionally, our motor controllers are compatible with numerous top-level industrial controllers, such as those from Siemens or Beckhoff.
