Drive system using a servomotor with a memory

A servomotor system for use in a drive system, comprising:

• a servomotor;
• a sensor, coupled to the servomotor, that senses and outputs actual state data of the servomotor;
• a memory system for storing motor-specific data, which defines at least one operating characteristic of the servomotor for use in automatically adjusting a regulating and control unit of a control module that controls the servomotor based on the motor-specific data, and the actual state data of the servomotor;
• a data terminal coupled to the sensor so as to receive the actual state data, and further coupled to the memory system so as to allow communication of at least one of the motor-specific data and the actual state data of the servomotor to the control module via a data line wherein a plurality of feedback signals provided by the sensor are conducted via the data terminal and the data line to the control module;
• and
• a housing for housing the servomotor, the sensor, the memory system and the data terminal.

A drive system comprising:

• a motor;
• a control module, in which motor-specific data of the motor is used to configure a regulating and control device of the control module, that is coupled to the motor and that supplies drive current to the motor;
• a sensor, coupled to the motor, that senses and outputs actual state data of the motor;
• a memory system for storing the motor-specific data and the actual state data of the motor;
• a data terminal coupled to the sensor and to the memory system;
• a housing that houses the motor, the sensor, the memory system and the data terminal;
• and
• a data line, coupled to the control module and to the data terminal, at least one of the motor-specific data and the actual state data of the motor being communicated on the data line to the control module, wherein a plurality of feedback signals provided by the sensor are conducted via the data terminal and the data line to the control module.

A drive system comprising:

• means for controlling a motor and for supplying drive current to the motor, wherein the means for controlling includes a means for regulating and controlling that is configured based on motor-specific data;
• a motor that is coupled to and receives the drive current from the means for controlling;
• means for sensing actual state data of the motor;
• means for storing at least the motor-specific data;
• means for transmitting data, the means for transmitting being coupled to the means for sensing and to the means for storing;
• a housing that houses the motor, the means for sensing, the means for storing and the means for transmitting;
• and
• means for communicating at least one of the motor-specific data, which is used to configure the means for regulating and controlling of the means for controlling the motor, and the actual state data between the means for controlling and the means for transmitting, the means for communicating being coupled between the means for controlling and the means for transmitting.
