Servotronix- servo control systems & servo motion controls

CANopen Drives

CANopen provides a standard method of interfacing to servo drives, using the DSP 402 device profile for drives and motion control. A selection of Servotronix' CANopen servo drives, both customized and off the shelf, can be seen below.

  • Pitch Control Drive

    Pitch Control Drive is designed to be installed in sets of three, within a wind turbine hub in order to control the pitch of the blades. The drive operates in either position, velocity or torque mode. The drive can receive Analog commands or CANopen® commands from the Pitch Control system. The product interfaces two feedback devices (dual-feedback) to enhance control accuracy due to motor’s gearing. During its normal operation the drive monitors and charges the external (to the drive) capacitor’s bank which is used during shut-down scenarios to perform a controlled move of the blade to its neutral position. The proposed Pitch Control Drive is very cost effective.

  • MCM & HPM - CANopen® Motion Control Module

    The MCM and HPM are digital brushless servo drives supporting the CANOpen® DS301 and DSP402 communications protocol. Originally designed for a specific application in the Medical Industry, these products comply with the medical EMI standard: IEC 60601-1-2. An auxiliary CAN bus is available for customer specific communication functions. This communications channel can be utilized by writing customer-specific code for the drive.

  • LVD - Low Voltage Drive in a Miniature Package

    The LVD is a High Performance servo drive in a miniature package. Measuring only 117 x 83.5  x 21.5mm and weighing only 250g, this fully digital amplifier is ideal for driving Brushed or Brushless DC motors. Communication is via RS-232 or CANopen® and can be operated in Current, Velocity or Position mode. The LVD supports the DS402 CANopen® device profile.

    The LVD is powered from a supply voltage of 12-48VDC, and is capable of sourcing 7Amps RMS continuous current, and 12Amps RMS peak current. The PWM switching frequency of up to 100kHz combined with state-of-the art space-vector modulation enables operation with low inductance motors while minimizing current ripple and eliminating acoustic noise.

    Drive configuration is fast and easy with our complimentary Axis Manager software.
