CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION
Aerotech’s Network Digital Drives (Ndrive HP) complement the Automation 3200
System (see Figure 1-1). Connected via the IEEE-1394 (FireWire
®
) communication bus,
these drives provide deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and easy software setup
from the Nmotion SMC software controller. Featuring a high-speed Harvard architecture
DSP, the drives have fully digital current and servo loops providing selectable 1-20 kHz
servo loop closure, 40 MHz line driver encoder data rate, and an optional Ethernet port
for access to third party networked I/O solutions. The Ndrive HP also features an
optional on-board brake relay, programmable resolution multiplication up to x 65,536,
with a 200 kHz maximum amplified sine wave input frequency, and up to three-axis
Position Synchronized Outputs (laser firing). In addition, the use of the commercially
standard FireWire communication link makes integration to the Automation 3200
network plug-n-play easy.
