Drive with onboard ethernet and safety functions

Micromech product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Jun 26, 2007
Micromech has introduced the S700 to its Servostar drive family, which adds onboard ethernet and safety functions to the 300 model.
Micromech has introduced the S700, which is compatible with the Servostar 300 with advanced functional scope but having the same architecture and processor.
It expands the family up to 24A output current and has the familiar 'user-friendly' start-up software.
It incorporates many fieldbus interfaces, has evaluation of most feedback devices and a wealth of predefined I/O- and position control functions making it an ideal choice for all motion control tasks.
The features introduced include output current up to 24A and it is prepared for a Safety expansion card with safe-reduced speed and safe operational stop.
It has Ethernet based bus communication onboard, a slot for MMC-Memory Card, backup for parameters and firmware, and optimised resolver interface.
The drive can operate directly from earthed 3-phase mains supply 208V ...
480V and 50/60 Hz, there is an integral mains filter, all connections are shielded directly at the amplifier and DC-link circuits can be connected in parallel.
There is a restart lock onboard (safe stop), it is fully programmable via RS232 interface, status monitoring via LED display and is suitable for 200mm switchgear cabinets.
There is also an interface integrated for stepper controllers, master-slave operation and electronic gear.
The S700 has CANopen integrated as well as a position controller with memory for 180 motion tasks.
The intelligent positioning deals with, speed profiles, register control, jolt limiting, daisy chained tasks, absolute and relative tasks, and several types of reference traverses.
The engineers have designed this with open hardware and software architecture and thanks to that, the amplifier is ready for nearly all-conceivable customer specific modifications and fieldbus interfaces.
The options available include, PROFIBUS DP, SERCOS, DeviceNet, SynqNet, EtherCat, and finally an I/O-extension board.
The S700 meets all the required standards, EMC Directive 89/336/EWG, Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EWG and has UL / cUL pending The innovative highlights of the digital control technology include the digital current controller (space vector PWM, 62.5 us can be switched over to 31.25 us if required), the flexible digital speed controller (62.5 us) and the onboard position controller (250 us can be swtiched to 125 us if required) mean such customised options will handle virtually every conceivable drive task.
The S700 is part of the continuous development of motors and drives from Danaher Motion.
