Capitan Series Features

Multiple Integration Options

Ready-to-use Capitan XCR allows quick system start-up. The pluggable module, Capitan NET and Capitan CORE, allow easy integration into carrier boards.

Safety First

Capitan has been designed to meet industrial functional safety standards to ensure continuous operation safety. STO inputs are integrated, rated to SIL-3 PLe.

Ultra-Compact Design

The Capitan footprint has been minimized to an extremely low profile, resulting in a lightweight design.

Best-in-class Servo Performance

Fast current and servo loops, with PWM frequencies up to 200 kHz delivering best-in-class performance.

Superior Power Management

Efficiency up to 99% due to state-of-the-art power stage and standby power consumption down to 1.12 W, the Capitan Series sets a new standard for servo drive power management.

Demanding Multi-Axis Applications

Capitan supports EtherCAT with a bus latency down to 2 cycles. Support for CANopen and high-speed SPI bus communication is available.
