If you want to drive an axis in a decentralised way without putting a servo amplifier into the cabinet for every motor, the Kinco iSMD series is the compact answer: motor, power stage, control loop and absolute encoder all sit in one housing. Between controller and drive only the supply line and the bus cable remain — no motor cable, no encoder cable, no cabinet space. The series covers 0.4 kW, 0.75 kW and 1 kW and runs on 24 to 60 V DC (48 V DC nominal). That makes it at home wherever low voltage is mandatory: automated guided vehicles, mobile and collaborative robots, intralogistics and handling modules. 🏭 Typical applications AGVs and mobile robots: mounted directly on the wheel or the lifting axis, powered from the 48 V battery. The multiturn absolute encoder keeps the position after power-off — no homing run at start-up. Decentralised axes in packaging and feeding equipment: several axes on one EtherCAT or CANopen line instead of one amplifier per axis in the cabinet. Machines with a safety requirement: the S version provides a two-channel STO input at the drive itself, designed to SIL 3 / category 3 / PL e. Wash-down or dusty environments: the IP65 version needs no cabinet and is mounted where the axis works. 🔧 Drive and control in one housing The control loops run at 8 kHz for position and 16 kHz for speed and current — fast enough for dynamic positioning profiles. Rated speed is 3,000 rpm; rated torque is 1.27 Nm, 2.39 Nm or 3.18 Nm depending on the power class, with peak torque at three times that value (3.81 / 7.17 / 9.54 Nm). Every power class is available with or without a mechanical holding brake. The brake runs on 24 V DC and holds 2 Nm (60 mm flange) or 4 Nm (80 mm flange) — for lifting axes that have to stay put when de-energised. 🌐 Fieldbus: CANopen, EtherCAT or PROFINET The RS-485 and CANopen version speaks Modbus RTU and CANopen up to 1 Mbit/s — the classic route for Kinco, Xinje or Beckhoff controllers with a CAN port. The EtherCAT version works as a CoE slave to CiA 402 with the CSP, CSV, PP, PV, PT and homing modes. The PROFINET version supports telegrams 1, 3, 5, 9, 102, 105 and 111, acyclic services and DSC, so the drive can be engineered on a Siemens controller like any standard drive. Parameterisation and diagnostics run through the free Kinco PC software, connected to the USB-C port on the drive. 🔌 Connections and I/O Every drive provides three digital inputs and two digital outputs (open collector, 100 mA). One input works as a fast probe input and reacts in less than 10 µs — useful for capturing a reference mark on the fly. 💡 Pulse/direction is only available on the IP20 version: it additionally accepts two pulse channels up to 500 kHz and is wired via screw terminals. The IP65 version runs on the bus only and is wired via circular connectors. 🔍 Protection class: IP20 or IP65 Both versions are electrically identical. The IP20 version belongs in protected areas and inside the machine frame, the IP65 version goes outside onto the axis — its housing is rated IP65, the shaft end reaches IP54. ✅ Certification and standards The series is EMC tested to EN IEC 61800-3:2023 and EN 61800-3:2004+A1 — certificate of conformity to the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU issued by TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH, registration no. AE 50724026 0001 dated 2026-04-20 (test report CN26Z09R 001). The drives are classified as category C3: intended for industrial locations, not for residential, commercial or light industrial locations. For North America a UL Recognized Component certificate to UL 61800-5-1 (2nd edition) is available, certificate UL-US-26117488-0, together with the Canadian recognition to CSA C22.2 No. 274 (UL-CA-2686401-0) — both dated 2026-06-15, report E485782. "Recognized Component" means the drive is recognised as a component for installation in complete equipment, not as a separately listed end product. Both recognitions can be verified publicly in UL's Product iQ database — under NMMS2.E485782 (USA) and NMMS8.E485782 (Canada), each listing the series as "iSMD or iGMD". ⚠️ On the STO function: the safe torque off of the S version is designed to SIL 3 / category 3 / PL e. A functional safety certificate to EN 61800-5-2 is not yet available to us. If you intend to use STO within a safety circuit, please ask us for the current status before ordering — we obtain it from the manufacturer and pass it on in writing. 🏷️ Manufacturer and accessories Kinco Automation has been developing drive technology and HMI for the global industrial market for years; Kinco servo drives are in use at many spstiger customers in Germany. Useful for operation: the battery for the multiturn absolute encoder, an external braking resistor for applications with high regenerative load, and the matching connection cables. Talk to us and we will put the set together for your axis.

If you want to operate a machine or plant from a separate computer, an industrial PC board or an HMI without a display, you only need one thing: a rugged touch display that fits into the control cabinet door. That is exactly what the Kinco G2100H-CTP is — a 10.1" industrial touch monitor in a metal housing with 1280 × 800 pixels, capacitive multi-touch and IP65 front protection. ⚠️ Important classification note: The G2100H-CTP is not an HMI. It has no control logic, no PLC drivers and no configuration software — it displays what another source provides and returns touch input via USB-C. If you are looking for a programmable operator panel, see the Kinco G2100E of the G2 series. 🏭 Typical applications Operator interface for an industrial PC: The iPC sits inside the cabinet, the interface sits in the door. HDMI and USB-C are enough for image and touch — no additional driver required. Display for an HMI without a screen: Combined with the Kinco xF-SiHMI01 you get a two-part operator panel: processing unit on the DIN rail, display in the door. Second operator station on an existing plant: Mirror an existing signal at a second location without a second licence or a second project. Display for Raspberry Pi and single-board computers: HDMI output, USB-C for touch, 24 V DC from the cabinet supply. 🖥️ Display 10.1" TFT with a 217 mm × 135 mm active area and 1280 × 800 pixels (16:10) 16.7 million colours, contrast ratio 1000:1, brightness 280 cd/m² Viewing angle 80° / 80° / 80° / 80° (left / right / up / down) LED backlight with a rated life of 30,000 hours 👆 Capacitive multi-touch The touch panel is capacitive and multi-finger capable — swiping, zooming and scrolling work just like on a tablet. Touch data is returned via the USB-C port and registers on the computer as a standard input device, without driver installation. ⚠️ Important note: Thick protective gloves or wet fingers can impair detection. If you work with gloves, a resistive operator panel is the better choice. 🔌 Connections 1 × HDMI (1.3) — digital video signal 1 × VGA — analogue video signal for older sources 1 × USB Type-C — touch feedback 3-pin screw terminal block — FG / GND / DC 24 V Video processing is handled by a Realtek single-chip monitor IC. All connections are located on a single strip at the rear. 🔧 Mounting and environment Rear panel mounting into a 192 mm × 138 mm cut-out, fixed with mounting clamps Outer dimensions 250 mm × 169 mm × 33 mm, weight 1.2 kg Metal housing, passive cooling without a fan IP65 front protection (4208-93), conformal coated PCB for harsh environments Operation -10 °C to +50 °C, storage -20 °C to +60 °C, humidity 10 – 90 % non-condensing Supply 18 – 28 V DC, 15 W at 24 V, power interruptions of up to 3 ms are bridged Vibration tested at 10 – 500 Hz, 30 m/s², one hour each in X, Y and Z direction 🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability Kinco Automation is an established manufacturer with years of experience in developing HMI and drive technology for the global industrial market. The G2100H-CTP is CE certified (EN 61000-6-4:2007+A1:2011, EN 61000-6-2:2005), withstands 500 V AC test voltage for one minute and reaches an insulation resistance of more than 50 MΩ at 500 V DC. Kinco devices are in use at well over 100 spstiger customers in Germany. 💡 A comparable monitor with Full HD and considerably higher brightness is the Lilliput TK1019/T with 1920 × 1200 pixels and 1500 cd/m².

The Lilliput TK2380/T is the best-equipped monitor in the TK series: 23.8 inches of Full HD, DisplayPort with 4K at 60 Hz, USB-C for touch and video, a 9 to 36 V DC input range and the full ruggedness package with 7H, IK07 and NEMA 4.🏭 Typical applicationsControl room with high frame rate: DisplayPort accepts 4K at 60 Hz — for camera feeds, live trends and animated process views it is the only port in the series that delivers this.Vehicles and mobile plant: 9 to 36 V DC covers 12 V and 24 V on-board supplies including voltage dips, with no ballast.Large-format outdoor terminal: Anti-glare 7H glass, IK07, IP65 and NEMA 4 at the front, operation from -20 °C, automatic dimming.Single-cable operator station: USB-C carries touch and video together.

It is reported to the computer as a standard input device — no drivers need to be installed. Operation is also possible with wet hands and with rubber, latex or PVC gloves.🔌 DisplayPort and USB-C — new in the TK seriesThe TK2380/T is the first unit in the series with DisplayPort. The difference matters in practice: over HDMI the monitor accepts 4K at 30 Hz, over DisplayPort 4K at 60 Hz. If you need smooth rendering at high resolution, use DisplayPort.The USB-C port carries the touch data and, optionally, the video signal — then a single cable to the computer is enough. The wide 9 to 36 V DC input range is also unique in the series and covers 12 V and 24 V on-board supplies with headroom in both directions.🔌 ConnectionsThe unit is a pure monitor without its own CPU. The image comes from a PC, industrial PC or controller; touch is returned via USB.HDMI (up to 4K at 30 Hz)DisplayPort (up to 4K at 60 Hz)VGA (up to 1080p at 60 Hz)USB-C for touch and optionally video3.5 mm audio input3.5 mm headphone outputThe 1920 × 1080 resolution matches the output of a Kinco xF-SiHMI exactly — as well as any industrial PC or Raspberry Pi.🔧 Mounting and scope of deliveryVESA 100 mm.

If you want to connect sensors and actuators to a PROFINET controller in a decentralised way – without running every single wire all the way back to the main cabinet – the Solidot PN5R series offers a compact, low-profile PROFINET remote I/O system. The modules sit where the signals originate – on the machine or in the field distributor – and transmit all inputs and outputs to the controller over a single Ethernet cable. Every channel has three dedicated terminals: signal, 24 V and 0 V. Sensors and actuators are therefore powered directly at the module, with no separate distribution terminals. Status LEDs right next to each channel show every input and output directly at the terminal point. 🏭 Typical applications Decentralised machine modules: Each assembly gets its own I/O module, connected via the PROFINET line – new modules are simply added in series. Relieve the control cabinet: Instead of hundreds of wires to the central cabinet, only two RJ45 cables run per module. Fewer cable ducts, fewer terminals, a clearer system. Sensor wiring without a distribution level: Because 24 V and 0 V are carried on every channel, a three-wire sensor goes straight onto the module – no additional potential distribution, no jumper combs. Retrofit on Siemens controllers: Extend existing S7-1200 or S7-1500 installations with decentralised I/O without enlarging the central PLC. Mixed signal direction: From a pure 32-channel input or output module to the 16/16 combination – on the 1616B+ model, 16 channels are freely configurable as inputs or outputs. So one variant still fits even when requirements change. 🌐 PROFINET: one cable for all signals The PN5R modules are standard-compliant PROFINET slaves and are imported into the project via their GSDML device description file. Each module has two RJ45 ports (100 Mbps) and is daisy-chained – no additional switch required. The minimum cycle time between controller and module is 1 ms, the input reaction time 150 µs. 🔗 Compatibility As a standard PROFINET device, the PN5R series works with controllers from various manufacturers; the manual documents configuration in TIA Portal V17. The inputs of the 3200 and 1616B types accept either NPN or PNP sensors – handy when both sensor types exist in your installed base. 🔌 Design and connection 3 terminals per channel: Signal, 24 V and 0 V are available on every channel – sensor and actuator supply is integrated in the module. That saves the entire supply distribution in the cabinet. Tool-free spring terminals: Power supply (8-pole) and I/O are connected via push-in spring terminals – insert the conductor, done, no screwdriver needed. Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail or direct wall mounting via the side fixing ears. Compact low-profile housing (182 × 58 × 34 mm), passive cooling – no fan, no maintenance. Power supply: 24 V DC, permissible 20.4 – 28.8 V DC, max. 8 A per terminal group on the field side. Green status LED per channel, right at the terminal. ⚙️ Configurable without extra software DIP switch on the device: The alarm version and – on the configurable models – the direction of the I/O channels are set directly on the module. Input filter 0 to 20 ms: Adjustable per module via PROFINET (factory setting 3 ms) – bouncing contacts can be settled without PLC code. Clear/hold on bus failure: Outputs can be configured module-wide or per channel to "clear", "set to 1" or "hold last value". Diagnostics: Short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection with automatic recovery, wire-break and alarm messages via PROFINET, firmware update supported. ⚠️ Limits stated honestly Protection rating IP20 – for control cabinets or protected enclosures, not for the unprotected field environment. Power supply exclusively 20.4 – 28.8 V DC, no AC supply. Operation from -20 °C to +60 °C (passive cooling). Standard process I/O – no functional-safety (safety) inputs/outputs. A separate safety controller is required for emergency stop and similar functions. PN5R modules are slave devices and require a PROFINET controller – they do not replace a PLC. The input filter applies per module, not per channel. 🏷️ Manufacturer and reliability Solidot (s'Dot) specialises in industrial networking and remote I/O technology. The PN5R modules are CE- and RoHS-compliant and built for industrial use; inputs and outputs are galvanically isolated (500 V AC) and the transistor outputs are short-circuit proof with automatic recovery. Tested to IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration) and IEC 60068-2-27 (shock). spstiger offers the series with German-language advice and support.

Anyone who needs a rugged interface for mobile operation right at the machine – mounted on a support arm or held by hand during commissioning – will find the Kinco SZ7PE built exactly for that: a physical emergency stop, six freely assignable keys, and a rugged plastic housing rated IP54. 🏭 Typical Applications Mobile machine control: With the 5- or 10-meter cable, the SZ7PE can be carried freely – ideal for robot cells or systems where the operator needs to move around during setup. Commissioning and maintenance: The built-in emergency stop and six keys allow direct access to enables and test functions without opening the control cabinet. Retrofitting existing systems: Via Ethernet or RS-485, the SZ7PE connects to existing PLCs without replacing the controller itself. Harsh environments: IP54 protection for the whole unit makes the SZ7PE suitable for workshops with dust and splash-water exposure. 🖥️ Display and Operation The 7" widescreen display resolves at 1024 × 600 pixels with 16.7 million colors and offers an 85° viewing angle in all directions. With a contrast ratio of 800:1 and 450 cd/m² brightness, the display stays legible even in daylight conditions at the point of use. 🧤 Resistive Touch: rugged and glove-friendly The 4-wire resistive touchscreen responds to mechanical pressure – regardless of whether it's operated with a bare finger, a glove, or a stylus. For mobile use with work gloves, this is the more practical choice over capacitive screens. 🔌 Connectivity 1× Ethernet: for connecting to a PLC or network. 1× RS-485 (COM0): for serial Modbus communication with existing systems. 1× USB Host: for project transfer via USB stick. 🌐 Remote Maintenance with EdgeAccess Anyone servicing devices at customer sites or on remote systems without being on-site every time can use EdgeAccess 2.0: Kinco's remote maintenance platform allows remote access to the HMI project for diagnostics and updates. 🔗 Programming with Kinco DTools Pro The SZ7PE is programmed with the free Kinco DTools Pro software – the same software generation as the current F2, G2, and GL2 series. Projects can largely be transferred between device families, which makes switching from a stationary to a mobile operator device easier. 🏷️ Manufacturer and Reliability Kinco Automation is an established manufacturer with years of experience developing HMI and drive technology for the global industrial market. The SZ7PE is CE-certified (EN 61000-6-4:2019, EN 61000-6-2:2019) and meets EMC requirements for industrial use in Europe.
