Full digital Three-Axis Integrated Servo Drive launched for X, Y, Z applications

Welcome to Motion News February 2007. In this Edition, we are very pleased to launch the BRD-WHI. The BRD-WHI is a highly compact, full digital Three-Axis Integrated Servo Drive for X, Y, Z applications, such as CNC machines and pick and place machines. Using the SimplIQ motion control technology, the BRD-WHI combines three servo drives in one package and operates from a single AC or DC power supply with a built-in shunt regulator. The BRD-WHI is offered as a number of models with standard and advanced motion control features. The drivers are available as either 60 or 100 Volts DC with a continuous current of up to 10 amps. The BRD-WHI operates in current, velocity, position and advanced position modes, in conjunction with permanent magnet synchronous brushless motors, DC brush motors, linear motors or voice coils. It can be easily set up and tuned using advanced tuning and programming software tools. The drivers are designed for use with any type of sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation with vector control. BRD-WHI: THREE-AXIS INTEGRATED SERVO DRIVE Highlights 500W continuous per Axis and 1,000W peak per Axis; Built-in protection against possible fault conditions; Current, velocity and position controls: Full digital; Sinusoidal commutation with vector control or trapezoidal commutation with encoder and/or digital Hall sensors Automatic gain scheduling, to compensate for variations in the DC bus power supply Programmable PI and FFW (feed forward) control filters Programmable PIP control filter Pulse-and-direction inputs Feedback Options: Incremental Encoder - up to 20 Mega-Counts (5 Mega-Pulse) per second Digital Halls - up to 2 KHz Incremental Encoder with Digital Halls for commutation - up to 20 Mega-Counts per second for encoder Interpolated Analog Sine/Cosine Encoder - up to 250 KHz (analog signal) Resolver with up to 512 Revolution Per Second (RPS) Tachometer, Potentiometer Two communication options: RS-232 serial communication and CANopen for fast communication in a multi-axis distributed environment
