Introduction to HBS
The HBS (Hybrid Servo Series) series hybrid servos offer an alternative for applications requiring high
performance and high reliability when the servo was the only choice, while it remains cost-effective.
The system includes a hybrid servo motor combined with a fully digital, high performance easy servo
drive. The internal encoder is used to close the position, velocity and current loops in real time, just
like servo systems. It combines the best of servo and stepper motor technologies, and delivers unique
capabilities and enhancements over both, while at a fraction of the cost of a servo system.
Getting Start
To get start you need one HBS drive, one hybrid motor (stepper drive with encoder) and one power
supply for a first time evaluation. A full installation should include an indexer such as pulse generator,
PLC or motion controller. A PC with at least one serial port or one PC with USB-RS232 converter, you
can rotate the motor in PC software. It is recommended to use an indexer instead of PC software to
verify the full function of the HBS drive and motor.
