BEI Kimco Magnetics has introduced the VCA 100. It is a new stand-alone PWM Servo Amplifier/Controller designed to maximize performance of BEI Kimco's linear and rotary Voice Coil Actuators. This versatile, 4-quadrant, DSP-based controller can operate as a position, velocity or force/torque mode amplifier/controller.
The VCA 100 is a programmable servo drive that uses the latest DSP technology to provide a powerful feature-set configurable via a RS232/485 port. It accepts digital and analog feedback signals and is capable of stand-alone operation or multi-axis integration, when connected to a PC-based distributed motion system.
Principal Features:
- User defined macro capability for motion sequencing and I/O processing.
- Pre-emptive multi-tasking command interpreter.
- User programmable S-curve and Trapezoidal motion.
- Variable servo rate up to 5 kHz.
- Current and position loop tuning via serial interface (no potentiometers).
- Drive setup and status information available serially via RS232 or RS485 link.
- Drive parameters and status history recorded in non-volatile EEPROM and available as diagnostic histogram.
- Accepts analog & digital feedback.
- Setup utility using a serial port interface on any P/C with Windows 95 or higher.
- Minimum Communications Level: Dumb terminal or embedded controller with ASCII characters.
Ratings:
- Supply voltage: 18-50v. Peak current: 10A. Continuous current: 5A.
- PWM frequency: 18 kHz
- Position range: 32 bits
- Velocity range: 24 bits
- Acceleration Range: 24 bits
- Operating temperature range: 0 to 50 deg. C ambient
Package Outline: 7.6" (193 mm) L (including mounting tabs) X 3.67" (93.2 mm) H X 1.22" (31mm) W.
