Description

Design Features

  • Output power of 10 A peak
  • DC input
  • CE approved, NRTL safety certification, EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive
  • Linear power stages
  • Digital current, velocity, and position loops for improved motion stability
  • Optional integrated encoder multiplier for higher throughput and reduced wiring
  • Flexible design provides ability to drive brushless and DC brush-type servomotors as well as stepping motors
  • Encoder or resolver feedback

Based on a common architecture, Ndrive amplifiers perform both current- and position-loop closures digitally.

The use of high-performance double-precision processors allows these drives to generate ultra-smooth motion profiles. Servo system response is optimized with the use of up to eight second-order loop-shaping filters, precise time-aligned feed-forward and other proprietary techniques with loop closure rates up to 20 kHz.

The Ndrive family includes several versions of low noise, ultra-high-performance linear drives. The Ndrive series provides high bandwidth and superb linearity required for the ultimate in velocity regulation as well as positional stability. The Ndrive HLe offers the ability to use resolver or inductosyn sensors and provides the highest level of encoder interpolation. For low-power, high precision systems use the Ndrive ML.

Options for the Ndrive family include integral encoder interpolation, one- to three-axis position synchronized output (PSO), automatic brake control, digital and analog I/O expansion, absolute encoder interface, and one- or two-channel resolver interfaces. An optional dedicated ethernet port is available on the HLe drives for connection to third-party I/O expansion devices. This provides the potential to connect to a large number of I/O points typically required for PLC-type applications.

Any combination of Ndrive amplifiers may be connected to the Automation 3200 FireWire® network, allowing the system to be customized as needed.
