TiMOTION's MA2 series electric linear actuator was specifically designed for applications that face harsh working environments, requiring a heavy-duty construction and durability. Additionally , the MA2 has an optional T-Smart version. Embedded with a driver board, the MA2 allows for easy integration with a variety of control interfaces, eliminating the need for an external control box.
The MA2 is available in two T-Smart alternatives:
1)T-Smart Advanced
The actuator is controlled by an embedded PCBA, providing advanced functionality and real-time feedback.
The T-Smart Advanced configuration allows for synchronization of up to 8 actuators, as well as providing accurate position feedback through a variety of options (Hall, Hall-Pot., PWM).
*TiMOTION’s software program, PGMA, exclusively supports the T-smart Advanced configuration, providing the user autonomy to adjust many parameters such as speed, stroke limits, soft-stop, soft-start, and much more.
2)T-Smart Bus Communication
The actuator is controlled by the customer's control system, such as their ECU or PLC.
-SAE J1939: This protocol provides seamless integration with CAN bus SAE J1939 interfaces,
the standardized communication protocol commonly implemented in off-road vehicles and other industrial applications.
-Modbus: This is a serial communication protocol predominantly used in industrial automation and process control. The T-Smart Modbus protocol can be smoothly incorporated into existing industrial systems through its interface.
