Product and Manual Overview
IDC’s B8961 and B8962,one and two axis Smart Drives,combine a DSP based
servo amplifier with a powerful,but easy to use,machine controller.We offer a
single axis version (B8961) and a dual axis version (B8962).The B8962 has two
axes of independently configurable amplifiers.Both products incorporate IDC’s 5
amp continuous,10 amp peak,120/230VAC,digital servo amplifier with a
motion/machine controller in a single,compact package.Up to 24 digital I/O are
available to control other machine functions.Up to 8 of these can be configured as
analog inputs or outputs.

The Vector Control used by the servo amplifier offers higher bandwidth torque
and velocity control when compared with sinusoidal or hall effect commutated
brushless servo amplifiers.This results in an expanded torque speed curve that
leads to higher throughput machines.The easy servo setup offered by the keypad
configuration or via
Application De veloper gives high speed,high torque,brushless
servo motor performance,with an ease of use rivaled only by a stepper system.
IDC’s IDeal ™ Smart Drives provide excellent value when your application calls for
any of the following:
• A small,1-2 axis machine controller
• A “motion node”to a master PLC or PC
• A cost effective operator interface
• Thumbwheel data inputs
• Flexible I/O capabilities
• On-board OPTO I/O modules (analog or digital)
The B8000 Series Smart Drives also feature a programming/operator interface.The
intent of the Smart Drive’s k eypad is to allow you to quickly and easily configure
and program your system.Initial setup and configuration,in most cases,will require
only a few minutes using the keypad.While Smart Drives fully support PC based
RS232 programming,the setup and configuration sections of this manual often
emphasize the keypad approach.RS232 commands and setup definitions are in a
separate chapter.We strongly recommend using a keypad with your first B8000
Series Smart Drive application. You will also find it an invaluable troubleshooting
and machine commissioning aid during subsequent applications.
The following manual has been designed to help you successfully install,program
and operate your
IDeal Programmable Smart Drive System.Each section of the
manual emphasizes the common theme “Ease of Use”.If you have any questions
that this manual does not adequately answer, please contact our factory application
engineers.
The manual begins with this Overview , followed by a Quick Star t chapter to help
you quickly confirm basic system operation.Next the manual describes
Communication with Your Control via the keypad interface.RS-232 interface
details are covered in Chapter 7, RS-232 Operation .
