Digital Drives suit motion control applications.
Press Release Summary:
Utilizing digital networking technology based on IEEE-1394, ServoWire® Soft Motion 460 Vac Series drives provide 2,400-17,000 W of power with continuous output current from 5-35 A rms/phase. They are available for 24-96 Vdc, and 115, 230, or 460 Vac input power and provide output short circuit and overvoltage protection. All drives utilize IGBT-based intelligent power modules. Brushless ac servomotor H-Series includes 460 Vac models providing continuous stall torques from 25-700 lb-in.
Original Press Release:
New ServoWire® 460 VAC Digital Drives
ORMEC has expanded the power and torque range of its popular family of ServoWire Soft Motion digital drives and H-Series motors. Five new 460 VAC-series drive models provide 2,400 to 17,000 watts of power, and offer continuous output current from 5 to 35 amps RMS/phase. The five, new 460 VAC ServoWire drives (5, 10, 17, 25 and 35 amps RMS/phase) provide excellent power density and enhance the ServoWire Soft Motion product offering by greatly expanding the number of applications that can benefit from ServoWire drive networking using IEEE-1394 (FireWire). ORMEC's H-series AC brushless servomotor product line has also been expanded to include 460 VAC models providing continuous stall torques from 25 to 700 lb.-in. and now covers the entire power range.
ServoWire SM digital drives provide high performance servo operation utilizing digital networking technology based on IEEE-1394. This network not only provides high speed, but also ease of use through cost-effective, industry-standard cabling. Each ServoWire drive supports a variety of high performance, quadrature and serial encoder and resolver-based servomotors. Consult ORMEC for OEM applications of user-supplied brushless rotary or linear motors---as well as DC brush-type & voice-coil motors.
All ServoWire drives utilize reliable IGBT-based intelligent power modules and provide a cost effective solution for today's motion control applications. ServoWire drives are available for 24-96 VDC, ,115, 230 or 460 VAC input power, and provide both output short circuit and overvoltage protection.
Programmable Drive Configuration
ServoWire drives have no pots, jumpers or field component changes whatsoever. Even factory adjustments are digital, automatically calibrated and stored in Flash memory. All user configurations are done in software using axis configuration tools in our ServoWire Pro software. Motor types are selected from a database of ORMEC standard products or the custom motor editor can be used to add other motor types to the database.
Configuration data for each drive, containing motor parameters, all operational limits for torque and speeds, I/O configurations, load inertia and servo loop tuning parameters are stored in the ServoWire Motion & Logic Controller (SMLC) and can be downloaded by the application program as needed over the ServoWire network. Simple cabling accommodates up to sixteen drives per network for quick and reliable installation.
