January 26, 2009 - ADVANCED Motion Controls' digital 'DZ' products are now available with higher power, greater thermal efficiency and lower operating voltages. Network choices, fast baud rates and multiple stand-alone command options greatly increase these servo drives' capabilities for all torque, velocity and position mode applications. Designed to be completely compact, DZ's take up little space, eliminate wiring hassle and still deliver unparalleled performance. Features include:
- Considered µ-sized, DZs have an small footprint (smaller than a business card) and weigh a mere 100 grams or less, including heat sink.
- All DZ's can be configured to operate in torque, velocity (encoder or Hall) and position modes for brushed, voice coil or brushless motors.
- DZ's have extremely high current loop bandwidth for quick response times as needed or when used in critical or demanding applications.
- DZ networks include CANopen or RS-232/485 (up to ~1 Mbaud).
- Some DZ's capacity includes 10 - 80 Vdc operation while delivering 12 Amps continuous / 20 Amps peak.
- DZ's have an optional mounting card available for quick prototyping and documented interface reference designs for quick circuit integration.
- DZ's common PCB pin out platform allows OEMs to design to any power capacity.
Input commands can come over the network, such as PVT (position/velocity/time) or through direct inputs for ±10V analog, Encoder Following, Step & Direction, PWM & Direction - to operate any mode.
This provides up to 1 kW continuous power when needed and can achieve up to 98% efficiency.
