Motor controller? We’ve got you sorted!

The dryve D1 motor controller

At igus® we love to shout about our software as much as our hardware: as the dryve D1 is both, it therefore creates no exception. The top features that we and our customers identify are: easy-to-use, accessible, versatile, low-cost, valuable and of course igus®-made.

Easy

Our customers tell us that they consider the dryve D1 an easy to use motor controller. By simple means, you can connect the motor, enter the IP address, and directly start to control your motor. This user-friendly solution keeps commissioning times as low as 30 minutes for the first time user.

Accessible

Working via your web interface, the convenience and accessibility of the dryve D1 is a major benefit too. without needing to download and install software to use it, all users can control motors with the dryve D1 whether on a company laptop, iPad or smartphone. Every device with a web browser can operate it.

Versatile

Many motors, one motor controller: whether you use a single type of motor or a variety, the dryve D1 is able to control a range of motors. This versatility enhances the modularity of our systems and your applications. Whether it requires a linear or rotary motion, a lead screw or belt drive, stepper or brushless DC motor – the control hardware remains unchanged.

Cost down – Tech Up!

The dryve D1 is not only ready for industry, it was made for industry. If you delve deeper into the development of the dryve D1, you will discover its foundation in industrial processes.

To date, we have solved industrial applications using a multitude of higher control systems. These include but are not limited to: Siemens S7, Siemens LOGO!, Schneider, Mitsubishi PLCs. In addition, PC or microcontroller-based programming environments such as: LabVIEW, Python, Arduino, and even directly via other robotics systems through URscript.

Regardless of the programming environment, the user can select their preferred option and operate the dryve D1 like so. Provided the communication protocols agree with the dryve D1: CANopen, Modbus TCP, Digital I/O, or Analogue inputs, your pick and place or motion control applications can be commissioned quickly and easily.
