Drawing upon 30 years of advanced drive development, Aerotech has introduced a line of intelligent digital drives for the Automation 3200 network. Connected via the IEEE-1394 (FireWire®) communication bus, these drives provide deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and easy software setup from the NMotion software controller. Featuring an 80 MHz DSP, the drives have fully digital current and servo loops providing a selectable 1-20 kHz loop sample rate, a 32 MHz encoder data rate, and an Ethernet port for access to third-party networked I/O solutions. Designed for the discriminating motion control user, our intelligent digital drives also feature onboard brake relays and options such as programmable resolution multiplication (x65536) and two-axis position synchronized outputs. In addition to these features, the use of the commercially standard FireWire® communication link allows easy integration into the Automation 3200 network.
