Description The Blu Series servo drives provide compact, reliable solutions for a wide range of motion applications in a variety of industries. BLu Series drives are designed to offer excellent performance coupled with hardware and software features that make them easy to integrate, use and maintain. The BLuAC5 hardware features a powerful digital signal processor (DSP) coupled to an efficient IGBT PWM amplifier. When combined with the BLuAC5’s sophisticated, yet easy to tune position loop and velocity and acceleration feed-forward, a system capable of extremely high performance results assuring success in even the most demanding of applications. All BLuAC5 drives are capable of running brushless, brush and linear type motors. A timing wizard automatically configures the encoder and commutation timing for virtually any brush or brushless DC motor. Tuning is easy with our Quick Tuner software, featuring a built-in digital oscilloscope |
