The ACOPOSmotor is connected to the drive network using a hybrid cable. This cable includes all necessary power and signal lines and establishes the connection to the Powerlink network.

ACOPOSmotor modules come in three sizes with torque ranging from 1.8 to 12Nm. If needed, an optional fan assembly can provide a performance boost of up to 100 percent.

In addition to the proven wired safety functions STO (Safe Torque Off) and SS1 (Safe Operational Stop 1), a network-based ACOPOSmotor module variant will also shortly be available, allowing users to access the following functions (as with the ACOPOSmulti): STO, SOS, SS1, SS2, SLS, SMS, SLI and SDI.

The ACOPOSmotor is fully compatible with the ACOPOSmulti drive system.
