Abstract

We propose an intelligent connector (ICN) that uses a network plug-in actuator (NPA) or an intelligent connector (ICN) to reduce the number of signal and power cables and integrates an AC servomotor and motor drive with serial signal wires using a controller area Network (CAN). The ICN connects the NPA and a controller such as a personal computer and connects different networks such as the Ethernet, CAN, IEEE1394, or USB. We developed an NPA series from 5 W to 750 W and verified their functions. We also evaluated the ICN performance using the NPA. This system was installed on an “econovehicle” and its effectiveness was successfully demonstrated.
