What you need
Whether you focus on machine design or machine control, find the resources that help you move your project forward:
Automation engineer
Modbus TCP/IP actuators integrate directly into your system – without extra hardware or workarounds.
A supporting manual covers I/O mapping, wiring guidance, and function descriptions.
Mechanical engineer
Need to validate the mechanical fit?
Find the actuator that best matches your application's requirements. Review specifications, compare available products, and access configurable 3D models to quickly validate dimensions, mounting options, and mechanical fit before creating your first mock-up.

Read the interface user manual to get started with the electrical setup and learn more about the interface.
To assign the actuator’s network address and adjust configuration parameters, use Actuator Connect – or configure parameters directly over Modbus TCP/IP.
Tip: Use Actuator Connect™ Demo Mode to explore available functions and configuration options without a physical actuator. For commissioning and troubleshooting, connect via cable to configure the actuator or generate a detailed diagnostics report.
Smarter motion. Everything built in.
For one of our customers, Alca Technologies, smarter motion means extending a cobot’s reach with an industrial lifting column. With its built-in Modbus TCP/IP interface, movement functions, feedback, and diagnostics, ELEVATE™ LC3 IC simplifies both machine design and automation.
Easy integration:
Alca communicates directly with the lifting column through the open Modbus TCP/IP interface, enabling straightforward integration.
Smarter automation:
The Modbus TCP/IP connection gives Alca more than simple movement control. Data on column run times, unintentional stops, error codes, and temperatures supports troubleshooting and customer service. Connected to Alca’s PLC, the column can also be monitored remotely, enabling a fast response if issues occur in the field:
“With ELEVATE LC3 IC supporting Modbus TCP/IP, we have been able to build a digital twin of our whole palletizer, which allows us to monitor the machines in the field and support our customers whenever modifications are required or unexpected situations occur. This convenience is a key factor for our customers and gives them peace of mind in their daily operations.”
Simpler machine design:
The small footprint of ELEVATE and built-in controller help Alca save space and reduce external hardware, wiring, and system complexity, while delivering the speed and stroke length required for the palletizer.
We improve your life. And that includes making everyday work easier for both mechanical and software engineers – from machine design to integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
