The universal drive is software configurable for the following motor types: AC induction, DC brush and DC brushless (AC servo/synchronous) with sinusoidal commutation. Three power levels are available: 5A (10A peak), 10A (20A) and 15A (30A). Bus voltage range is 120-320VDC.

The SB1391 supports encoder (+ Hall) or resolver (12-bit resolution) as primary feedback. In addition to dedicated safety inputs, it has eight isolated inputs, eight isolated outputs, an analog input and an analog output.

ACS-Tech80’s control modules are based on state-of-the- art, proprietary technology that has proven itself in many demanding applications, such as semiconductor assembly and testing, electronic assembly and inspection, digital printing, medical imaging, and packaging. Built-in capabilities simplify programming common applications, such as advanced pick & place, master/slave and electronic gearing and camming.

The modules can be programmed to handle motion, time and I/O events. They can operate stand-alone, without a PLC or a PC. RS-232/422/485 serial communications is standard and CAN networking with CANopen protocol is optional.

Windows tools are provided for setting up and tuning the modules and for developing application programs. Libraries for Microsoft C/C++, Borland C/C++ and Visual Basic are available for DOS, Windows 3.11/95/98/NT and Linux. The libraries support multithreading in Windows 95/98/NT.

Every module is manufactured under an ISO9001 certified quality management system, meets stringent safety and EMC standards, and is CE compliant.
