Nservo Servo Controller
Not recommended for new designs. See the new Automation1 XI4. Nservo is a digital 2- or 4-axis (position and velocity) servo controller with up to 20 kHz sample time. It is compatible with encoders and provides a ±10 VDC three-phase command to any amplifier. With 11 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs (in addition to the 8 analog outputs that drive the amplifier) and expandable I/O, Nservo will accommodate most system I/O requirements.

Description
Design Features
- Supports 2 (standard) or 4 closed-loop servo axes
- Each axis has three-phase ±10 volt outputs to drive any amplifier
- FireWire enabled servo controller for simplified wiring
- Software configurable for brush, brushless and stepper motor operation
- CE approved, NRTL safety certification, EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive
- Encoder feedback accepted
- Connector options include terminal block and D connector
As with the Ndrive series, only a single 4-wire cable is needed to communicate with the motion generator on the PC. Other features include limits, E-Stop, brake, auxiliary feedback input, high-speed latching inputs and Ethernet.
Aerotech's Nservo complements the Automation 3200 system’s digital drives, allowing an industry standard analog amplifiers to interface with Aerotech's digital drive network. Connected via the IEEE-1394 (FireWire®) communication bus, which provides deterministic behavior, autoidentification, and easy software setup from the A3200 software-based machine controller.
