DBS Motors and Gearmotors: our flagship technology
Brushless motors with integrated drives have become the benchmark for manufacturers of high-performance, high-tech machinery. Mini Motor’s DBS series stands at the forefront of this trend, making motion control its defining feature.
From torque output to logical functions, every aspect of the DBS can be tailored to the customer’s needs-without compromising the quality standards that define the Mini Motor brand.
The concept of “all-in-one” defines the DBS line. In addition to delivering reliability and high-level performance, each motor and gearmotor is equipped with a 32-bit multi-turn absolute encoder for precise control over positioning, homing, speed, and torque.
Integration is built-in, with a field bus-ready architecture supporting all major industrial communication protocols-including Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Modbus, CANopen, and Profinet.
DBS Power Meets Wireless Flexibility
The next evolution in motion control is wireless-and for Mini Motor, this translates to greater flexibility and faster deployment. At the heart of this innovation is Can Over Air 2.0, a proprietary fieldbus protocol enabling wireless communication between PLCs and motors via a dedicated Gateway.
With Can Over Air 2.0, servomotors can be controlled without the need for traditional communication cables. The Gateway connects to the PLC using industrial fieldbuses and transmits data wirelessly to multiple motors, supporting scalable and decentralized system architectures.
Designed for robust performance, Can Over Air 2.0 supports Ethernet and CAN inputs, ensuring secure, low-interference communicationideal for today’s interconnected and automated industrial environments.
Applications for Industry 5.0
Mini Motor’s R&D strategy is grounded in maximizing performance, minimizing space requirements, and improving energy efficiency. In the framework of Industry 5.0, the DBS line is a foundational enabler for intelligent, adaptive, and human-centered production systems.
Native compatibility with leading industrial fieldbuses, combined with real-time diagnostics and wireless integration, makes the DBS series ideal for designing flexible, scalable, and reconfigurable systems.
With features such as integrated drives, functional safety (STO), energy optimization, and predictive maintenance readiness, DBS motors align perfectly with modern manufacturing demands-where sustainability, pervasive digitalization, and operator empowerment are no longer optional, but essential.
