considering the operating environment and any other equipment the drive will be interfacing with. Before
attempting to install or operate a DZ servo drive, be sure all the following items are available:
•
DZ Digital Servo Drive
•
DZ Servo Drive Datasheet (specific to your model)
•
DZ Series Digital Hardware Installation Manual
•
DriveWare Software Guide
DZ servo drives are shipped with no other connectors or mounting components other than the signal and
power header pins on the drive PCB itself. However, mounting cards and mating connectors are readily
available. See “Mounting Card” on page 27 for the ADVANCED Motion
Note Controls DZ mounting card. Customized mounting options are also available for orders with sufficient
volume.
5.4.2 Motor Specifications
DZ digital servo drives have a given current and voltage rating unique to each drive. Based on the
necessary application requirements and the information from the datasheet of the motor being used, a DZ
drive may be selected that will best suit the motor capabilities. Some general guidelines that are useful
when pairing a DZ servo drive with a motor:
•
The motor current IM is the required motor current in amps DC, and is related to the torque needed
to move the load by the following equation:
Torque
M = ------------------
KT
Where: KT -motor torque constant
The motor current will need to be calculated for both continuous and peak operation. The peak torque will
be during the acceleration portion of the move profile. The continuous torque is the average torque
required by the system during the move profile, including dwell times.
•
The system voltage requirement is based on the motor properties and how fast and hard the motor
is driven. The system voltage requirement is equal to the motor voltage, VM, required to achieve the move
profile.

•
The motor inductance is vital to the operation of DZ servo drives, as it ensures that the DC motor
current is properly filtered.
A motor that does not meet the rated minimum inductance value of the DZ drive may damage the drive! If
the motor inductance value is less than the minimum required for the selected drive, use of an external
