ODVA-certified smart motion solutions from 10 to 5000 Watts, built for Rockwell-ready automation architectures and scalable Industrial Ethernet networks.
Dunkermotoren delivers ODVA-certified EtherNet/IP interfaces for compact, connected and data-driven automation architectures. Integrated BG dPro EI smart BLDC motors and the external BGE 5510 / BGE 8060 dPro EI controller combine drive intelligence, CIP-based communication, flexible network integration and reduced wiring effort in one scalable motion platform.
Build on a standardized Industrial Ethernet interface with official ODVA certification. EtherNet/IP helps engineers integrate smart drives into open automation networks with predictable device behavior and reduced integration risk.
BG dPro EI motors integrate the drive electronics and EtherNet/IP interface directly into the motor housing. This reduces external controller hardware, saves cabinet space and simplifies the overall machine architecture.
EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet infrastructure and supports common industrial network layouts such as star, line and ring-based architectures. This gives engineers flexibility when designing scalable machine networks.
The Common Industrial Protocol structures device data, parameters and services through an object-oriented model. This enables consistent access to drive information and supports transparent communication between controllers and devices.
Functional safety is considered directly at drive level. Dunkermotoren dPro Industrial Ethernet drives include integrated STO as standard, helping prevent unexpected motor torque within modern machine safety concepts.
Access relevant operating data such as speed, torque, temperature, voltage and error states. Combined with smart drive electronics, EtherNet/IP supports monitoring, parameterization and data-driven maintenance strategies.
Motor, encoder, drive electronics and EtherNet/IP interface combined in one compact housing. Ideal for decentralized automation concepts where reduced cabinet space, simplified wiring and direct access to drive data are key design requirements.
When the motor and electronics should be installed separately, the BGE 5510 or BGE 8060 dPro EI external controller brings EtherNet/IP connectivity to modular drive architectures. This setup supports machines where thermal conditions, vibration, service access or cabinet standards require a separated controller concept.
The right EtherNet/IP setup depends on where drive intelligence should be located, how the machine network is structured and which level of diagnostic access is required. Use integrated dPro EI drives for compact decentralized motion control or combine compatible motor setups with the BGE 5510 or BGE 8060 dPro EI when the electronics should remain separated from the motor.
If the motor, electronics and EtherNet/IP interface should be combined into one compact smart drive unit.
If a split architecture is required, where the motor and control electronics are installed separately.
Before selecting the drive family, define the mechanical, electrical and EtherNet/IP communication requirements of the axis.

Build your EtherNet/IP architecture around compact smart BLDC motors with integrated drive electronics or use the BGE 5510/8060 dPro EI external controller for split drive systems. Dunkermotoren supports both paths with ODVA-certified EtherNet/IP connectivity, CIP-based communication and a modular system for gearboxes, encoders and brakes.
Start with the motor size that matches your power range, installation space and machine architecture.
AGVs, AGCs and AMRs require compact drive systems, efficient BLDC technology and reliable access to operating data. EtherNet/IP-enabled Dunkermotoren drives support traction and steering axes while reducing external electronics and simplifying integration into connected intralogistics systems.
Conveyor modules, shuttle systems and sorting equipment benefit from scalable Ethernet-based communication, flexible topologies and direct drive diagnostics. EtherNet/IP helps connect drives, sensors and controllers through a standardized automation network for transparent material flow and efficient commissioning.
Packaging and labeling machines often require repeatable axis positioning, fast product changeovers and parameter access through the automation network. EtherNet/IP-enabled BLDC drives support connected format adjustment, status monitoring and consistent operation across modular packaging lines.
EtherNet/IP applications combine standard Ethernet infrastructure, CIP-based device communication, certified interoperability, diagnostics and safety functions. These terms help engineers understand how Dunkermotoren EtherNet/IP drives fit into scalable industrial automation architectures.
EtherNet/IP is an Industrial Ethernet communication standard based on standard Ethernet and Internet Protocol technology. It connects automation devices, controllers and smart drives through scalable machine networks and supports integration between factory automation and higher-level data systems.
CIP provides the communication structure behind EtherNet/IP. It represents device data, parameters and functions through an object-oriented model, enabling controllers to access drive information in a consistent and standardized way.
EtherNet/IP supports explicit messaging for configuration, parameter access and diagnostics, as well as implicit messaging for cyclic process data. This separates non-time-critical service access from recurring I/O communication between controller and drive.
ODVA certification helps validate EtherNet/IP conformance and interoperability. EDS files describe device properties for engineering tools, helping automation engineers integrate drives into EtherNet/IP scanner environments with less manual configuration effort.
EtherNet/IP is widely used in Rockwell Automation environments and is especially relevant for machines targeting North American automation standards. Dunkermotoren EtherNet/IP drives are designed for straightforward integration into EtherNet/IP networks and controller-based machine architectures.
Safe Torque Off is a functional safety feature that prevents the motor from generating torque. Dunkermotoren dPro Industrial Ethernet drives include STO as standard, supporting machine safety concepts directly at drive level.
