Servonet DC is a double-axis servo drive built in a robust IP67 housing, allowing the drive to be used in rough environments outside the cabinet and close to the motor. Machines equipped with Servonet DC have a minimal machine footprint: power supply and interface module being the only additional components required in the cabinet. The electronics footprint is up to 70% smaller than traditional centralised solutions. The wiring of the system is fast and easy thanks to the hybrid cable, transferring power and communication. Additionally, all wiring changes are made on the machine via plug and socket connections rather than in the electrical cabinet.

Ideally suited to multi-axis applications with a number of drives mounted in close proximity on the machine, Servonet DC allows a decentralised motion control approach. Motion control functionality is executed by means of EtherCAT communication or optionally CANopen DS402 communication, allowing substantial savings in time and materials. Typical applications for Servonet DC include packaging machines and rotary tables where numerous drives and motors are mounted on the machine.

Servonet DC Features:

Machine design becomes very easy because of the modular nature of Servonet DC - additional axes can be added with minimal effort, simply by duplicating schematic drawings from other axes. This not only reduces engineering time and costs, but simplifies build and significantly improves time to market. Servonet DC works on a common DC bus power supply that allows the system to absorb and re-supply much of the braking energy to other Servonet DC units rather than dissipating it in the form of heat via external resistors. In some instances, resistors can be removed completely and in others smaller resistors are sufficient. Servonet DC solutions are usable together with motor integrated drives of the Motornet DC family, as the cabling concept and communication is identical.
