Sigmatek
Single-axle drive module for high performance
The modular, dynamic multi-axis servo system 'DIAS-Drive 2000' from Sigmatek has been reinforced: The 'MDP 2200-L-01' single-axis module for controlling synchronous servo motors provides up to 20 A rated current.
Supply, mains filter, braking resistor and DC link are also on board, in a space measuring just 150 mm x 240 mm x 219 mm (size 2). The combined supply/axis module is operated at three-phase 400-480 V(AC) and can handle up to 60 A peak current. The overload factor is therefore up to 300 %. Safety functions such as STO, SS1, SOS, SBC as well as safe speed, acceleration, position and direction of rotation functions are included as standard - all up to SIL 3, PL e, Cat. 4 and TÜV-certified. Like all MDP modules in Sigmatek 's 'MDD 2000' series, the single-axis drive can be used standalone or in combination with any number of MDD 2000 axis modules of both sizes. This makes it possible to customize the drive concept. The Hiperface DSL digital motor feedback interface is used as standard. In addition to the single-cable solution, other encoder variants are supported: EnDat 2.1, Hiperface, Resolver, Sin/Cos, TTL, BiSS-C or Tamagawa. The modules can be connected quickly and without tools to the DCB 'DC Connection Block' and BCB 'Bus Connection Block' thanks to baying technology. This eliminates the need for complex individual wiring for power, DC link coupling and real-time Ethernet communication with Varan bus.
