The Ferrocontrol DARC S02-00-2O for Elumatec belongs to the DARC series of digital axis controllers from Ferrocontrol and controls brushless synchronous motors with a rated current of 2.0 A. This version is parameterised for machines made by Elumatec. In the DARC, positioning and servo amplifier are combined in one unit.
Function within the DARC system
The axis controller is connected to a DARC supply module (V05 or V15) and converts the 560 V DC link voltage provided there into the three-phase motor voltage. Several servo modules can be coupled in parallel on the DC link, up to eight drives per supply module. The controller receives positioning commands via the fieldbus from the supply module with interpolation processor or, for simple tasks, directly via the RS232 interface.
Control and feedback
Control is fully digital with online-optimised control parameters. Rotor position and actual speed are acquired via the robust resolver feedback with up to 16-bit resolution. Hardware version 00 denotes the basic version with resolver interface. Sinusoidal pulse-width modulation ensures smooth running even at the lowest speeds, and IGBT power stages with a 2 × 8 kHz switching frequency ensure minimal losses and quiet operation.
Further features
- Fully digital parameterisation, service replacement without readjustment
- Motor temperature monitoring via PTC sensor or temperature switch
- Relay contact for the holding brake (30 V / 1 A)
- Opto-isolated control inputs, plain-text diagnostics via the higher-level control
- Compact design, protection class IP20, CE-compliant
