| New smaller SmartMotor servos bring integrated benefits to wet environments
Animatics' new harsh environment-rated SmarttMotor servos offer IP65 ratings with the convenience of a smaller frame size, NEMA23 and NEMA34, for compact applications. The sturdy design and thicker motor casing provides protection and durability, and therefore, any factory process using wash-down techniques or wet processing environments can benefit from the easily programmable SmartMotor and its unique features such as Combitronic communication protocol and stand alone linear interpolation.
- Mil-style connectorsIP65 rating (with option to upgrade to IP67)
- Sturdy design and thicker motor casing
- 10 points of 24V I/O
- DeviceNet or CANopen
- Brake Option Available

Parker releases I31 EtherCAT fieldbus option
Parker releases I31 EtherCAT fieldbus option in popular servo drive family.
EtherCAT, a high-performance motion-bus network, is now available in Compax3 servo drives. This open, real-time, high-speed motion-bus network operates over fast Ethernet at 100 Mbit. It is a fast-growing industrial network and, similar to other Ethernet-based motion-bus networks, it offers speeds that are faster than  DeviceNet, ModbusTCP and Profibus.
Parker's Compax3 servo drives utilize EtherCAT as a controlled node and implement the standard CAN over EtherCAT DS402 object library. This standardized implementation improves the ability to work directly with third-party EtherCAT managing nodes on the market.
With its high performance and modular design, the Compax3 family of industrial servo drives and drive/controllers offers a new level of servo performance and flexibility. The modular structure of the Compax3 family allows options such as intelligent motion controllers, communication interfaces and industry standard motor feedback.
