DESCRIPTION
The Accelus™ Development Kit is a companion product
to Copley Controls new Accelus™ Card servoamplifier. It
provides mechanical mounting and electrical connections
for the amplifier, and includes a rectifier, filter-capacitor, and
bleeder resistor on-board to power amplifiers from a transformer secondary.
The on-board bridge rectifier supplies an isolating diode so
switching power supplies can by used without becoming unstable due to regeneration effects during deceleration.
The size and mounting points are compatible with Copley
Controls’ PST series unregulated power supplies. Mounting
the SDK to a PST supply puts a four-axis servoamplifier and
power source in a 7 x 11.5 in. footprint.
Subminature-D connectors simplify control system and motor
connections to the SDK. Encoder signals are passed from motor connector J2 to signal connector J1, simplifying wiring and
eliminating “Y” cables from motor to amp to control system.
A Euro style connector is used for motor phase connections,
and for power to a motor brake.
A connector for +24V from an external power supply supplies
power to motor-mounted brakes. Amplifiers actuate brakes to
enable motor rotation and release them when disabled. Failsafe motor braking occurs when amplifier power is removed.
Flyback diodes are included on the SDK pc board to recycle
energy stored in motor brake inductance without damaging
amplifier outputs.
Accelus™ Card amplifiers are retained by card-guides with
locking retainers allowing the SDK to be mounted in any position in user equipment.
A jumper gives users a choice of system ground location.
The default connects system ground to the standoffs so that
mounting the SDK establishes user frame ground as the
default ground reference. Removing the jumper allows users
to float SDK ground from frame and connect to equipment
ground when desired.
