Chapter 1 - General Description
1.1 - INTRODUCTION
XtrapulsPac
all-digital drives with sinusoidal PWM control are servo drives that provide the control of brushless
AC motors with position sensor.
The standard control inferface can be:
- CANopen,
- EtherCAT®
1
,
- analog,
- stepper
motor
emulation,
-
logic I/Os.
But the
XtrapulsPac
range also offers more sophisticated functions such as:
- DS402 including position capture,
-
Master/slave and electronic gearing,
-
Positioner with motion sequencing.
All versions are delivered as standard with the integrated protection function
Safe Torque Off
:
STO SIL 2
.
With its very small dimensions, the
XtrapulsPac
drive is available in various designs:
- stand-alone or multi-axis,
- wall mounting (standard), push-through or cold plate cooling.
Series
XtrapulsPac
drives are fully configurable in order to fit various applications. Both drive versions of the
XtrapulsPac range are described below.
The
XtrapulsPac
version with CANopen interface can be used in the following application types:
Axes controlled by CANopen fieldbus according to the DS402 protocol,
Stand-alone
operation as a motion sequencer with control by means of logic I/Os,
Traditional analog speed amplifier with +/- 10 V command and position output by A, B, Z encoder signal
emulation,
Stepper motor emulation with PULSE and DIR command signals.
The
XtrapulsPac
version with EtherCAT® interface can be used in the following application types:
Axes controlled by EtherCAT® fieldbus according to the DS402 protocol,
Stand-alone
operation as a motion sequencer with control by means of logic I/Os.
The configuration and parameterization software tool Gem Drive Studio allows a quick configuration of the
XtrapulsPac
drives according to the application requirements.
In this manual, we will use the generic and standard vocabulary to describe these variables. The variables are
specified as “parameters” from the communication side.
Each parameter is identified by:
- an Index number and a Sub-index number,
- a Name.
