PRODUCT DISCONTINUED: February 2024.
RECOMMENDED SUBSTITUTION: The product has been replaced with a redesigned version of the DCS-100-A v.3 servo driver
DCS-100-A is microcontroller based drive with opto-isolated analog output ±10V. It is used to drive third party servo amplifiers. DCS-100-A is suitable for retrofit of CNC machines which has robust servo power amplifiers for DC motors with analog input.
Drive is based on 16-bit microcontroller with implemented PID control algorithm. As the feedback of DC motor position an incremental encoder with phase-shifted square signal (quadrature encoder) is used. Encoder interface enables 1x, 2x and 4x encoder resolution.
Adjustment of all parameters is performed by using the configuration software ServoTune3.
The input control interface enables control via opto-isolated lines in next modes:
- STEP/DIR/ENABLE,
- CW/CCW/ENABLE,
- Encoder follower in 1x, 2x and 4x decoding, and
- Via analogue input within the range 0÷5 V with and without feedback.
- Built-in soft start function enables DC motor 1s after power on in order to decrease power surge on start.
There is an opto-isolated digital output on drive, named Track Error which is activated if preset value of tracking error offset is exceeded. That output can be used for activation of external circuit for DC motor emergency stop.
Use power supply 8÷24 VDC. Drive has reverse polarity protection.
