MIS stepper motors from JVL with integrated electronics represent a major advance. Encoder, driver and controller are built into the stepper motor and, as closed-loop motors, form a closed unit with a high IP protection class and EMC safety. Improved motor characteristics with a wider usable speed band enable a wide range of applications and often eliminate the need for an additional gearbox. Closed-loop stepper motors are available for all Ethernet protocols, Profibus, CANopen and other bus systems. The fieldbus module is integrated in the housing and must be specified directly when ordering.
