Synapticon SOMANET Motion Cores combine industrial communication, sensor data acquisition and motor control in a single device. Realize individual servo drive design. Our motion cores are perfect for real-time conditions. The model predictive field-oriented control creates ideal conditions for precision robotics.

Synapticon is a certified partner of XMOS. Our products deliver top performance for servo drives - reliable, highly parallel processor architectures (based on xCore and ARM) provide the necessary computing power for our advanced motor control algorithms.

SOMANET CX2 AI MOTION CORES ADVANTAGES

REDUCED HEAT GENERATION

Low heat dissipation of the drives despite high motion control frequencies

FAULT COMPENSATION

Interference compensation for sensor noise, non-linearity or torque ripple

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

High motion quality even with low-cost motors and sensors

MAXIMUM COMPATIBILITY

Configuration with OBLAC tools

ABSOLUTE SAFETY

Safe motion functions with the Safe Motion extension

ARCHITECTURE -
AN RTOS IN HARDWARE

Future-oriented robot motion control - Synapticon SOMANET motion cores are based on xCore and ARM processor architectures.
  • 8 to 32 programmable 32 bit RISC cores per chip
  • Utilization with a clock rate between 62.5 and 500 MHz
  • Fast 400 Mbit/s processor bus via standardized process communication in real time

THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS

SOMANET Motion Cores master tough real-time conditions without any problems. Reliable, highly parallel processor architectures (based on xCore and ARM) provide the computing power required for our advanced motor control algorithms.

All functions of the SOMANET Motion Cores can be configured with our OBLAC tools, a user-friendly and powerful software for commissioning and fine-tuning motion control.

Together with the SOMANET Safe Motion extension, SOMANET Motion Cores enable safe motion functions at SIL3-PLe level via FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT).

DRIVE CONTROL AS A MASS PRODUCT

Start the development of your prototype and go into an initial small series with servo drives from the SOMANET Node series or the integrated motion devices from the SOMANET Circulo series. Our motion control software enables a seamless transition to customer-specific and application-optimized series design.

Individual motion control
DESIGN FOR YOUR SERVO DRIVE

Your personal motion control software. Synapticon offers customers with large quantities individual adaptation of SOMANET servo drives. Do you process very large quantities? Thanks to our SOMANET drive controls, you can perform the design and production of customized servo drives in-house and with your own resources.

Synapticon provides you with the SOMANET hardware and software source files and delivers the SOMANET motion cores to your production facility.
