Servo Motors Growing Smarter and More Efficient Than Ever with IO-Link Wireless Enhancements

Servo Motors Growing Smarter and More Efficient Than Ever with IO-Link Wireless Enhancements

In a significant advancement for the industrial automation sector, Siboni and CoreTigo are proud to announce their continued cooperation, utilizing CoreTigo’s IO-Link Wireless technology, within Siboni’s servo motors.

By integrating CoreTigo’s IO-Link Wireless technology, Siboni created the PL4 series, of wireless, planetary gearbox, electronic drive brushless motors. These low-voltage, compact solution servo motors, are highly energy efficient while offering superior control precision, making them perfect for accurate industrial applications.

IO-Link Wireless Inside
The integration of CoreTigo’s TigoAir 2 embedded system-on-module into Siboni’s servo motors is a leap forward in intelligent motion control solutions. This enables the mission-critical information required by industrial professionals to maintain optimized production lines. Siboni’s IO-Link Wireless enhanced motors are suitable for various application fields, such as packaging machines, rotary tables, industrial robotics, logistics, mobile applications (including AGVs and LGVs), and smart transport tracks.

Servo Motors Growing Smarter and More Efficient Than Ever with IO-Link Wireless Enhancements

These enhanced motors feature numerous advantages:

• Real-time Wireless Control:

Cable-free control of the servo motor which increases flexibility and reduces the complexity of deployment and maintenance. With a 5msec latency, it offers the performance of a wired industrial-grade connection, without the wires.

• Advanced Sensing Capabilities:

As rapidly and continuously rotating motors are subject to various effects, it’s crucial to keep track of their performance, monitoring numerous variables, while machining. Using IO-Link Wireless allows this in an integrated and seamless manner, without having to put the production line to halt for analysis. This includes the ability to sense, transmit, and analyze information from a variety of sensors, including temperature, vibrations, and humidity, for optimization and predictive maintenance.

• Wireless Connectivity to Any Automation System:

Harnessing IO-Link Wireless for Siboni’s PL4 servomotor series eliminates the need for complex wiring. Additionally, it allows seamless integration with various industrial communication protocols, such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, and OPC UA.

• Efficient Data Management:

Pre-processing algorithms are implemented within the motor, limiting data payload and transmitting only essential data to the PLC. This prevents the PLC from traffic overload while allowing the full range of data to flow from the IO-Link Wireless Master to cloud and enterprise applications aggregating all the information.

• Comprehensive Analytics:

Standard statistical algorithms such as RMS, Variance, Kurtosis, and FFT can be implemented easily, enabling advanced analytics and intelligent insights.

How Does it Work
The PL4 series was created by integrating an IO-Link Wireless system-on-module directly into the servomotor, at the field level, enabling it to communicate directly with the IO-Link Wireless Master. At the control level, the IO-Link Wireless Master communicates both with the PLC (with various Industrial Ethernet protocol options) as well as with enterprise applications, via the TigoEngine software application.

In this manner, full control & visibility are enabled from the top of the organization, all the way to the factory floor level.

Other benefits of the IO-Link integration include:

• Seamless and complexity-free installation

• Increased flexibility and installation options

• Reducing maintenance, as a result of fewer cables

• Simple future add-on of multiple IOs

Demonstrated Live
Siboni and CoreTigo recently showcased these capabilities at the SPS Italia 2024 expo, showcasing how their collaboration addresses the growing demand for flexible, efficient, and reliable automation solutions. While CoreTigo and other partners demonstrated numerous advanced applications enabled by IO-Link Wireless, Siboni highlighted the practical applications of servomotors in complex industrial environments, emphasizing their role in driving Industry 4.0 initiatives.

These capabilities will be demonstrated live again by Siboni, at SPS 2024 (Germany), at Hall 1, Booth 249, as part of CoreTigo’s IO-Link Wireless Ecosystem. Visitors are welcome to visit Siboni and the IO-Link Wireless partners – 12-14 November, Nuremberg Messe, Nuremberg, Germany.
