Features:

• BLuDC9-S can be commanded via +/-10VDC analog Signal in torque or velocity mode.

• BLuDC9-Si can be programmed for stand-alone operation with the easy to use Si ProgrammerTM Windows software (software and programming cable included).

• BLuDC9-S and Si can be operated in real time from a host PC or PLC using the Si Command Language (SCL), via RS232.

• Requires 24-48 VDC power supply.

• Continuous current of 9A, peak currents to 18A.

• Speeds to 6000 rpm. Motor and load dependent.

• 20 kHz precision PWM amplifier.

• Compatible motors and extension cables available from stock.

• Compact size (1.5 x 2.75 x 4.6 inches).

• Screw terminal connectors for power, motor phases and I/O.

• Pluggable, industry standard D connector for encoder, commutation signals command signals and I/O.

Option

• Standard or custom length extension cables for the motor and encoder that allow for quick, plug and play system set up.

• Regeneration clamp circuit (recommended).

Description:

The BLu 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 BLu 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 BLu 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.
