Dunkermotor Introduces CANopen, Profibus, Modbus Enabled Solar Tracker Motors

by John Morehead on Sep 14, 2011

Elgin, IL - September 13, 2011 -- Based on 20 years experience in solar industry motion control with over 150,000 units in the field, Dunkermotor's new line of brushless dc Solar Tracker Motors (STM) with integral fieldbus-enabled motion controllers are optimized to reduce development time, lower installation costs and provide lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in a variety of solar tracking applications. Electric energy production can be increased by 30-35% more with solar tracking compared to fixed photovoltaic panel systems.

The new Dunkermotor STM line is designed to enable the control of up to 127 motors over a 5000 meter (16,400 feet) bus length utilizing the motors’ integral CANopen interface with a single economic, off-the-shelf PLC having a solar tracking function block. The STM integral control brushless motors can also be used with industrial PCs as well as Profibus and Modbus networks. The embedded intelligence of the STM motors’ integral controls,...Read More >>
