STOBER CANbus conectivity example

A short video on YouTube showing you.... We show you how we connected the STOBER servo range of drives (MDS 5000) to the Unitronics Unistream range of integrated PLC and HMI. In this example we use just the CPU, USC-P-B10 and a 7" display, USC-P-B10 plus the free programming software Unistream. It was very simple to do, please contact us for more information or a demonstration. We have also done this with the STOBER SDS 5000 range of drives.
