Fully digital servo amplifiers launched

Third Quarter 2006 Other technologies

Kollmorgen Seidel launches ServoStar 300 which is its new generation of fully digital servo amplifiers. This range of digital servo amplifiers utilises every cubic centimetre of its volume so that the extensive functionality is made available within a small package.

Accessories such as filters or chokes are not required with cables shorter than 25 m. Expansion slots for optional cards, compatible with ServoStar 600, makes this a versatile series.

Features:

* Operational directly from 3-phase mains supply.

* Integrated mains filter.

* All shield connections directly at amplifier.

* DC-link circuits can be connected in parallel.

* Fully programmable via RS232 interface.

* Operation from PC via Danaher Motion operator software.

* Operation with two keys on the amplifier.

* Status monitoring via LED display.

* 230 V type suitable for 200 mm switchgear cabinets.

Standard equipment:

* Interface integrated for stepper controllers, master-slave operation, gearing.

* CANopen integrated.

* Integrated position controller with memory for 180 motion tasks.

* Intelligent positioning.

* Speed profiles.

* Register control.

* Jolt limiting.

* Daisy-chained tasks.

* Absolute and relative tasks.

* Several types of reference traverses.

* Encoder emulation, incremental or absolute.

* Feedback from resolver of high resolution sine-cosine encoder.

ServoStar 300 has an open hardware and software architecture, as a result of which the amplifier is ready for nearly all conceivable customer specific modifications and fieldbus interfaces. Options and expansion cards include:

* Profibus DP.

* Sercos-interface.

* DeviceNet.

* I/O expansion card.

* Single axis controller.

The integrated encoder interface makes it possible to connect a high resolution single or multiturn sine-cosine encoder as a feedback directly to the amplifier. Complete digital controlling highlights the product's innovation in digital technology.
