Not recommended for new designs. See the new Automation1 XC6e. The Ndrive® family of digital servo amplifiers are high performance discrete drives used with the A3200 motion controller. These drives are capable of controlling brushless, DC brush and stepper motors over a wide range of operating voltages and currents. The Ndrive HPe is the highest-performance PWM drive providing a host of features not available on the other PWM drives, and is available in output current ranges from 50 A to 200 A peak.
•Wide output power range from 50 A peak to 200 A peak at 320 VDC
•3-phase AC line input
•CE approved, NRTL safety certification, EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive
•PWM power stages
•Digital current, velocity, and position loops for improved motion stability
•Optional integrated encoder multiplier for higher throughput and reduced wiring
•Flexible design provides ability to drive brushless and DC brush-type servomotors as well as stepping motors
•Encoder or resolver feedback
Based on a common architecture, Ndrive amplifiers perform both current- and position-loop closures digitally.
The use of high-performance double-precision processors allows these drives to generate ultra-smooth motion profiles. Servo system response is optimized with the use of up to eight second-order loop-shaping filters, precise time-aligned feed-forward and other proprietary techniques with loop closure rates up to 20 kHz.
The Ndrive family is offered in a number of highly efficient PWM versions. The Ndrive MP is a low power, small footprint PWM drive ideal for space-sensitive applications.
