Description: The BLuDC series servo drives are suitable for a wide range of motion applications. They are built around a powerful digital signal processor coupled to an efficient MOSFET PWM amplifier. The BLuDC drives include up to 22 optically isolated I/O points plus analog inputs. A sophisticated, yet easy to tune position loop has independent digital settings for proportional, integral and derivative gains plus velocity feedback and velocity and acceleration feedforward. Tuning the BLuDC servos is easy with our Quick Tuner software, featuring a built-in digital oscilloscope. A timing wizard automatically configures the encoder and commutation timing for virtually any brush or brushless DC motor. Related Links:
