Servo drives receive Ethernet connection
System design and machine installation times are reduced with inexpensive Ethernet cabling for the interface between the servo drive and the motion controller.
Proven for a year in the USA, and now available in Europe, these robust and cost-effective drives are available in five versions with ratings from 100W to 1.3kW.
This wide choice of models allows users to match the size of drive to the requirements of their application, so that they pay only for the performance that they need.
All models are designed to operate from 120/240V AC supplies, and are offered with optional 120/240V keep-alive circuitry.
By default, Aries drives are supplied ready for operation in torque amplifier mode, but they can be configured in software to run in velocity mode.
Step-and-direction versions are also available, allowing the new drives to be used to replace stepper systems, and in applications where a step-and-direction command interface already exists.
Although automatic setup is available only when Aries drives are used with Parker Smart Encoder motors, the open architecture of the drives means that they can also be used with almost any modern brushless rotary or linear servomotor, and with most types of motion controller.
In addition, the drives are fully compatible with standard quadrature encoders. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation ...
