1.1 INTRODUCTION
The information in this chapter will enable you to
understand the BDS5's basic functions and features.
These concepts will allow you to apply them to your
own unique applications.
1.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The BDS5 is a full-featured, high-performance,
brushless positioning servo in one compact enclosure

it is the smallest, totally-integrated package
available to motion control users. The BDS5
combines a positioner, a servo amplifier, and an I/O
interface into one unit. The BDS5 sets new standards
for motion control with its simple BASIC-like
command structure and sophisticated decision-making
capability. The BDS5 provides the outstanding servo
performance that you have come to expect from
Industrial Drives. Using a high-performance
microprocessor, the BDS5 does not have to
compromise on either positioner software or servo
performance. This single microprocessor closes all
servo loops, resulting in a truly integrated positioning
system. The BDS5 has the features and performance
you need in your next positioning application.
1.3 FEATURES
The BDS5 offers a wide feature set to accommodate
real world positioning requirements:
•
LOW COST
The BDS5 is very affordable--even though it is full of
advanced features. Use all or only a portion of these
features to accomplish your application.
•
EASY TO INSTALL
The BDS5 is easy to install because the servo
amplifier and the positioner are integrated into one
package. Many interconnects, including the
tachometer and encoder, are eliminated.
•
SIMPLE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
The BDS5 uses simple BASIC-like commands such as
RUN, GOTO (for branching), and GOSUB /
RETURN (for subroutines). In addition to a simple
comparison statement, advanced IF / ELIF / ELSE /
END IF statements result in more readable and less
error-prone programs. You can comment every line in
your program.
