N6 – Motor controllers/drives

The N6 is a compact high-performance controller/drive for stepper (NEMA 14–34) and BLDC motors (up to NEMA 23), with support for all common industrial fieldbuses. Each version is available in four variants: low or high current, with or without STO.

With six digital and two analog inputs, three feedback inputs and a brake output, the N6 simplifies integration in demanding automation applications.

Highlights

• Field-oriented control (FOC) for efficient and smooth operation
• Rated current: 6 A; peak current: 6 – 18 A
• Supports Hall sensors, incremental (QEI) and SSI encoders
• Integrated brake chopper (external ballast resistor required)
• An external brake resistor can also be connected
• Programming via Plug&Drive Studio
• Parameter setting via EtherCAT, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU (RS485), PROFINET
• Safe Torque Off (STO) and UL certification

The N6 is ideal for various motion control applications with a rated power of up to 300 W, for example packaging machines, laboratory automation, medical systems, SMD assembly lines, and winding equipment.
