APPLICATION NOTE Decentralised EtherCAT motion system offers build time benefits: AB Dynamics’ high-end vehicle K&C test systems include Kollmorgen AKD-N servo drives from Heason Technology

AB Dynamics’ Suspension Parameter Measurement Machine (SPMM) is used extensively by global vehicle manufacturers, vehicle standards test houses and tier-one component suppliers for the measurement of vehicle kinematics and compliance (K&C) data as part of progressive R&D and for production quality control. The SPMM is a 19-axis motion controlled machine that makes precise measurements of vehicle body and component deflections whilst loading the vehicle. It delivers a complete and faithful simulation of on-road vehicle behaviour and includes a comprehensive range of upgrades and options including Vision Systems, Moment of Inertia (MIMS) and Centre of Gravity (C of G) measurement capability. Heason Technology - the designer, manufacturer and distributor of world-class motion solutions – is a long-term support and supply partner for motion control components specified by Bradford on Avon based AB Dynamics. The next-generation SPMM, which has unrivalled measurement accuracy and improved performance utilises the Heason supplied AKD-N series EtherCAT-enabled decentralised servo drives from its distribution partner Kollmorgen. This has significantly improved the SPMM’s control system design by allowing a more distributed and modular design approach to be adopted. This has greatly reduced the hardware used in the system and the number of cables running from the SPMM to the control cabinet.
