Low cost servo drive packs impressive features
Measuring just 55 x 160 x 120mm the CDF3000, manufactured by LTi and available in the UK from Motor Technology, is a small, low-cost servo drive, with the features and functionality of a more expensive, high-end drive.
>It has excellent operational functionality for 24 or 48V DC supply, a robust mechanical design concept, comprehensive CANopen DSP 402 integration, safe standstill in accordance with IEC 954-1 category 3, with integrated safety relay. It can run synchronous, asynchronous and DC motors and is compatible with resolver and SSI absolute encoder feedback.
>Additional key features includes, evaluation of two encoders, evaluation of multi-turn encoders, sequenced positioning tasks, PLCmotion functionality, Cam-switching group and online position profile generator.
>According to Motor Technology's managing director, Andrew Fallows, 'The CDF3000 is a bit like a buying a basic car but getting the top-of-the-range-model. It's a small, low-cost drive suitable for highly demanding automation applications.'
