A.5 Functional comparison
The technical and functional differences between operation with an AC-AC servo drive
as the supply source and operation with a power supply unit are compared here as an
aid to selection.
Feature
AC-AC
servo drive
as supply
Power
supply unit
Operation on a wide variety of mains voltages worldwide pos-
sible
1)
Regenerative (sinusoidal)
Operation possible with any simultaneity factor
DC link via rail system (Size 1 - Size 5)
Power equalization by central DC link
Controlled shutdown in case of power failure
Requires external step-up and input reactors
Requires external braking resistor
2)
Air cooling
Liquid cooling
Higher DC link voltage (650 V/770 V)
Reactive current compensation
EtherCAT, SERCOS II & III, PROFINET IRT, VARAN, CANopen,
Profibus-DPV1
Sin/Cos encoder, TTL encoder simulation/TTL master encoder
= applicable,
= partially applicable
1) With autotransformer
2) For emergency running in case of power failure

A.6 Financial calculation
Alongside the functional advantages, a multi-axis system also offers ecological and
financial benefits based on the energy saving. Depending on the application, higher
investment cost can be amortized quickly thanks to the reduced power consumption.
