Servo Motor Controllers and Drives
Servodrives use FireWire-based motion control networking.
Press Release Summary:
ServoWire Soft Motion Low-Power servodrives combine digital performance, compact size, and FireWire-based motion control networking. Two models of LP-series drives provide 200 and 400 W with current output of 3.0 and 5.0 A rms/phase, respectively. All-digital model eliminates manual drive settings and has panel-mountable footprint. Servodrives feature MotionObjects Class Library for object-oriented motion control application program development in C/C++.
Original Press Release:
New ServoWire Soft Motion Low Power Drives
ORMEC's new ServoWire Soft Motion Low-Power servodrives offer a unique combination of digital performance, compact size and FireWire-based motion control networking. Two LP-series drive models provide 200 and 400 watts of power, and offer continuous current output of 3.0 and 5.0 amps RMS/phase respectively. All ServoWire SM drives utilize reliable IGBT-based intelligent power modules and provide a cost effective solution for today's motion control applications.
Key Features
oAll-digital, low power: The LP-series offers the unique combination of low power and all-digital performance. Most low power drives are analog input drives, which are difficult to calibrate, setup and maintain. The LP-series eliminates all manual drive settings and is totally configurable in software using ORMEC's ServoWire Pro maintenance and diagnostic tool.
oCompact Size: The LP-series delivers a space efficient design and power in its space-efficient, panel-mountable drive footprint.
oDrive Networking Saves on Installation & Setup: Discrete wiring is a thing of the past -- and dramatically reduces installation and setup costs.
ServoWire SM drives provide high performance servo operation utilizing digital networking technology based on IEEE-1394 (FireWire). 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, encoder-based servomotors.
Using ServoWire SM drives reduces costs and complexity compared to a system built around a proprietary motion control board and analog input servodrives. The powerful MotionObjects Class Library offers a solution for object-oriented motion control application program development in C/C++, while the MotionObjects ActiveX Control is available for Visual Basic application development.
