The MotiFlex e100 from ABB is a versatile brushless servo drive, offering a flexible and powerful motion control solution for both rotary and linear motors. It is designed to handle a wide range of motion applications, from simple point-to-point movements to more complex configurations. POWERLINK provides real-time control over multiple axes, while Modbus TCP and Ethernet RAW offer a variety of control possibilities with PLCs, industrial PCs, and other controllers.

Advanced Servo Motor Control:

    The drive delivers dynamic control of brushless servo motors (both rotary and linear) and closed-loop AC vector and V/Hz modes for induction motors.
    A universal encoder interface (UEI) supports various encoders such as TTL incremental (with or without Halls), 1V pk-pk SinCos, BiSS, SSI, EnDat 2.1, and 2.2, configurable via software.

Standard Programmability:

    The MotiFlex e100 is an intelligent drive that comes with standard Mint programming. Mint is tailored for motion applications, controlling communications, logic, motion, and human-machine interface (HMI) interactions in a powerful yet simple programming language. Motion features include homing, indexing, and an optional plug-in controller for more advanced control.

e100 Family of Real-Time Ethernet Control Products:

    The NextMove e100 is a robust motion controller that integrates management of a real-time Ethernet network of drives, I/O devices, sensors, and absolute encoders. Combined with MotiFlex e100 and MicroFlex e100 drives, the e100 products significantly simplify system design and installation while providing high-performance control.

Easy and Intuitive Commissioning:

    The Mint Workbench PC tool facilitates fast and simple setup, commissioning, and monitoring within a single software tool. Features include a step-by-step configuration wizard, oscilloscope graphing, parameter view/edit/compare, motion programming, integrated help, and a tool for packaging a concise email to streamline technical support when needed.

Fully Integrated Motion Technology:

    The MotiFlex e100 can function as a standalone single-axis machine controller, fully programmable in Mint and equipped with Ethernet connectivity, onboard I/O, and a serial port for a straightforward HMI interface. It is a highly capable solution for applications requiring cut-to-length, infeed control, or indexing. For more complex motion, a plug-in controller for the MotiFlex provides coordinated motion control of up to four e100 drives and one analog axis.
