Patent number: 11689439Abstract: A communication module mounted to a motor provides for communication between a motor controller and a motor or between the motor controller and devices mounted on or proximate to the motor. The communication module may be configured to accept signals from various different encoders and/or load devices mounted on or proximate to the motor. The communication module receives a position feedback signal from a primary encoder interface and is configured to transmit the data to the motor controller at a periodic update rate. The communication module also receives feedback signals from at least one additional device and transmits the data to the motor controller. The communication module synchronizes its periodic update rate with the motor controller such that the position feedback signal may be utilized to control operation of the motor. The additional feedback signals may be communicated at the same or differing update rates.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arun K. Guru, Dayin Xu, John Figie, Fuhua Ding, Chetan Chandrasekara

Patent number: 10938967Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein describes a switch embedded in a motor controller and a network protocol executing on the switch to provide communication between devices connected to the motor controller in a motor drive application. The embedded switch is configured to communicate via separate ports with an external controller, a network interface for the motor controller, additional motor controllers, and with the motor or other devices mounted on the motor. The network protocol includes a first tier for data that requires deterministic delivery at a high data rate, a second tier for data that requires a high delivery rate but is also tolerant of some variation in delivery time, and a third tier for data that may be delivered at a slower data rate. The embedded switch receives data at any port, identifies the communication tier to which the data belongs, and delivers it to another port accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dayin Xu, Zhenhuan Yuan, Robert H.
