Product Description

The Copley Controls AEM-180-20 DC servo drive integrates seamlessly into complex systems and supports a variety of advanced feedback and command interfaces. This drive is ideal for high performance applications requiring precise and reliable servo control.

The AEM-180-20 DC servo drive supports EtherCAT communication with galvanic isolation to ensure safe operation. It utilizes TX+, TX-, RX+ and RX- signal formats and operates on the 100BaseTX protocol to ensure robust and fast data exchange. It operates at low frequencies for reliable commutation control. The drive offers programmable or digital input based device ID selection for versatile configuration. It includes ± 10 Vdc analog inputs for torque and velocity control along with high speed digital inputs for PWM velocity/torque and stepper/encoder position commands. An integrated Quad A/B digital encoder enhances camming functionality for precise motion control. The model’s SSI interface handles absolute position feedback at a 16 kHz loop frequency. This offers flexible encoding options such as binary or Gray. EnDat absolute encoder compatibility adds bi-directional data transfer and optional sin/cos incremental signals for comprehensive feedback options. The drive’s Digital Hall signal inputs sourced from magnetic sensors or encoder tracks enable accurate commutation initialization and motor phasing.

The Accelnet series servo drive’s advanced features ensure smooth operation in demanding environments. Its versatile encoder support includes SSI and EnDat absolute encoders for precise positioning data and digital Hall signals for motor control initialization. The integrated clock signals in the SSI interface ensure synchronized data transmission while the EnDat interface supports optional sin/cos channels for additional flexibility. This drive is engineered for seamless integration with modern automation systems and offers high speed command inputs and reliable feedback handling for optimal performance.
