Easy startup
Startup and parameterization are performed using the intuitive graphical user interface
“ESCON Studio” with the help of simple to use, menu-guided wizards. The following wizards
are available: Startup, Regulation Tuning, Firmware Update, Controller Monitor, Parameters,
Data Recording, and Diagnostics.
Protective equipment
The servo controller has protective circuits against overcurrent, excess temperature, under- and
overvoltage, against voltage transients, and against short-circuits in the motor cable. Further-
more it is equipped with protected digital inputs and outputs and an adjustable current limitation
for protecting the motor and the load. The motor current and the actual speed of the motor shaft
can be monitored by means of the analog output voltage.
Comprehensive documentation
Using the “Feature Comparison Chart”, the suitable ESCON servo controller can easily be
determined. The “Hardware Reference” comprises the specifications of the hardware in detail.
The documents “Firmware Version” and “Release Notes” describe changes and improvements
of firmware and software. In addition, the graphical user interface “ESCON Studio” features a
comprehensive online help.
− Range: The digital output is set as soon as
the preset value range is reached. It remains
set as long as the value remains in range.
− Deviation: The digital output is set as soon as
the preset value deviation (based on the set
value) is in range.
With the integrated potentiometers the addi-
tional following functions can be adjusted
− Curr
ent Gain: Adjustment of the current
controller gain.
− Speed Gain: Adjustment of the speed
controller gain.
− IxR Factor: The voltage drop caused by ter-
minal resistance will be compensated in
the range of [0…1000…2000].
Analog outputs allow monitoring of
− Actual current: Actually measured motor
winding current.
− Actual current averaged: Actually measured
motor winding current filtered by first order
digital low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency
of 5 Hz.
− Actual speed: Actually measured motor
speed.
− Actual speed aver
aged: Actually measured
motor speed filtered by 1st order digital low-
pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 5 Hz.
− Demand Current: Demanded motor winding
current.
− Demand Speed:
Demanded motor speed.
− Temperature Power Stage: Actually
measured power stage temperature.
− Fixed value: The output voltage is said fixed
to the preset value.
