Inmocos new Elmo Cornet digital servo drive is claimed to offer OEMs the flexibility to operate with brushed, brushless and linear motors and provides a wide range of programming, feedback and communication options that facilitate rapid integration into machines.
Fully programmable, the Cornet can operate as a digital position, velocity or current mode amplifier, as a network drive in distributed motion systems using the Canopen interface, or as a standalone motion controller for single axis servo control.
In common with other digital drives in Inmoco's Elmos SimplIQ range, it offers high power density, integrating a wide range of feedback options, programming capabilities, standard communication protocols and motion control technology.
As a result, the 3kW rated Cornet brings increased precision to a wide range of automated applications, including robotics, machine tools, packaging, semiconductor production, materials handling, sorting, printing and textiles said Inmoco.
Designed for single-phase (230V) and three-phase (230, 460VAC) operation, and offering a DC input option, the Cornet is fully programmable, offering users the benefits of a third generation programming structure with high-level motion commands and 32 KB of memory for storing programs.
In addition, by employing Elmos WindowsÔ based composer software, users can achieve drive set-up, configuration, tuning, analysis and drive programming, quickly and easily added the company.
Also aiding fast set-up and commissioning of the Cornet drives is what is claimed to be one of the widest ranges of feedback options available.
That includes absolute encoders, digital halls, incremental encoders with digital halls for commutation, resolvers, interpolated analogue (SIN/COS) encoders, DC tachometers for velocity feedback and analogue potentiometers for positional feedback.
The onboard facilities integrated into the Cornet drives provide OEMs with a range of operating possibilities, such as point-to point positioning, dual Llop operation (that compensates for mechanical backlash), follower, pulse and direction, PTP, PVT, PT and ECAM, or Electronic CAM.
Those operating modes are complemented by fast event capturing inputs and a fast output compare (OC) feature.
As a servo drive for single or multiple axis applications, the Cornet can be implemented quickly via Canopen protocol DS-301 and DSP-402.
That facility, plus the simple set-up and tuning provided by the Elmo Composer software and Interlude Communication API, enables the OEM to achieve a fast and problem-free integration of the servo drives into almost any type of machine claimed Inmoco.
