Enhancements
The following features are incorporated into the 17D drive to facilitate the set-up
and operation of the servo system:
l Two analog +/-10 V inputs can be programmed for a multitude of functions
depending upon the application. Both inputs incorporate automatic offset
compensation, dead-band limitation and slew-rate limitation.
l Two +/-10 V analog monitor outputs can be programmed to support a multitude
of internal drive control loop variables via the analog voltage output levels.
l Four fully programmable 24 V discrete inputs; two of which are typically defined
as hardware limit switches.
l Two fully programmable 24 V outputs and a separate 24 V brake output
capable of driving a maximum of 2 Amps.
l An integrated and fully isolated RS-232 connection for communication with a
PC; used to set configuration parameters and tune the system with the Unilink
configuration software.
l Integrated CANopen (default 500 kBauds), for integration into CANopen
systems and for setting parameters for several amplifiers via the PC-interface
of one amplifier
l A separate 24V bias supply input which may be connected through a UPS to
preserve system data in the event of an interruption in the AC mains supply.
