Working Principle

Single or three-phase AC mains supply passes integrated EMC noise filter and full-wave diode rectifier circuit to generate stabilized 320 VDC internal power bus feeding three-phase IGBT power stage. Dual-core floating-point DSP processor executes closed-loop current, speed and position control algorithms based on CANopen motion command data and real-time motor shaft position feedback signals. DSP outputs pulse-width modulation signals to drive power bridge, generating sinusoidal variable frequency three-phase AC current to actuate connected AKM permanent magnet synchronous servo motor. Two fully isolated STO safety channels immediately cut all PWM gate drive signals upon external safety interlock activation, eliminating motor output torque without disconnecting mains power supply. Regenerative energy produced during motor deceleration is dissipated as thermal energy through external braking resistor connected to dedicated drive power terminals.

Applicable Industries

North American OEM metal fabrication machinery, automotive assembly automation lines, agricultural processing equipment, plastic injection molding auxiliary servo axes, packaging & material handling equipment, US industrial printing machinery, woodworking CNC positioning axes

Installation Requirements

  1. Vertical mounting orientation strictly required; horizontal installation severely restricts heat sink airflow and mandates significant output current derating
  2. Maintain minimum 25mm vertical clearance gap above and below drive unit inside electrical control cabinet
  3. Cabinet forced convection cooling fan mandatory if internal cabinet ambient operating temperature exceeds +40°C
  4. CANopen bus wiring utilizes shielded twisted pair cable with 120Ω terminating resistor installed exclusively at physical bus endpoints
  5. Equipment protective earth ground conductor connected to dedicated chassis ground terminal with minimum 2.5mm² copper cross-sectional area
  6. Strict separation routing channels for shielded motor power cables and unshielded CANopen bus / low-voltage signal wiring to mitigate electromagnetic interference

Operation Precautions

  • Continuous full-load operation at ambient temperature exceeding +45°C requires 30% reduction of rated output current capacity
  • AC mains supply must be fully disconnected prior to connecting or disconnecting motor power and feedback cable assemblies
  • STO safety channel wiring must maintain complete galvanic isolation from all 24VDC digital I/O signal circuits
  • External regenerative braking resistor power rating must be sized to absorb peak deceleration kinetic energy of machine maximum rated load
  • Total CANopen bus cable length across all connected drive nodes cannot exceed 1000 meters maximum
  • Transparent front terminal safety cover must remain fully closed during all powered operational states to preserve IP20 enclosure protection rating
