HIDRIVE HID8 servo drives have a power rating of 5.6kVA and accept industry standard command signals. They also offers positioner & PLC functions, optional on-board IEC 61131 programming environment, plus expansion boards for fieldbus & additional I/O
Detailed Information
HI-DRIVE is a fully digital servo drive/controller for brushless and asynchronous motor control, with output power ratings up to 310kVA and power supply options of 1/3*230VAC to 3*400/480VAC. HI-DRIVE is also able to control induction motors – its target market is where high precision, accuracy, performance, fieldbus connectivity and custom applications are required. HI-DRIVE features several built-in motion control functions, including current, torque and speed control, positioning with trapezoidal profiles, digital lock with variable ratio and phase correction, electronic cam, real-time mode, S-ramp positioning, homing functions and position capture.
An axis card with Power PC 400 MHz micro processor which is able to control up to 32 interpolated axes via CANopen DS402, further enhances the HI-DRIVE servo controller functionality. The HI-DRIVE series is suited to simple as well as extremely sophisticated applications such as printing machines, wood and metal working machines, feeders, palletizers, applications with different interpolated axes and robots.
