Servo Motors

Yes. Servo drives are highly compatible with PLCs and other major automation networks. They connect using simple pulse and direction wiring for basic systems, or through industrial communications networks like EtherCAT, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and CANopen for advanced, multi-axis control.

Yes. Servo drives significantly improve energy efficiency through precise control and regenerative features compared to traditional motors. In Australian industry applications, these reduce operational costs and harmful emissions.

Choosing the right servo drive involves assessing your application’s torque, speed, precision needs, and motor compatibility first. Don’t forget to factor in environmental conditions and integration. 

1. Begin by matching voltage and current ratings to motor specifications. Leave up to 25% headroom for peaks. 
2. Next, ensure the drive is compatible with your feedback device (encoder or resolver) and communication protocol (such as EtherCAT or Profinet). Select an appropriate IP rating for the environment, and choose a system that can scale as your operation grows. 
3. Last but not least, look beyond the upfront costs and consider the total cost of ownership. Take into account factors such as energy efficiency, reliability, and local support. Prioritise features that align with Australian industry standards. 

It’s an electronic control system that very precisely controls a motor’s position, speed, and torque through a closed-loop feedback mechanism from encoders and sensors. 

It functions by receiving commands from a controller before amplifying power to the motor, and continuously adjusting output based on real-time feedback. This is to correct deviations and ensure accuracy. Unlike basic motor starters, servo drives excel in dynamic, high-precision tasks.

Yes, our P500 Motion controller, including visualisation, is perfectly matched with our twin channel i700 servo inverter to provide a cost-effective system with minimal real -estate.

Yes, our range of Trio Motion Coordinators, Expansion Modules, I/O Modules, Servo Drive Systems and HMIs are designed to enable the control of industrial machines with the minimum of external components. In many applications, Trio’s range can be combined to build a control system capable of driving a multi- axis machine and all its auxiliary equipment.

We suggest our Lenze MCS series of servo motors, however, with some tuning, the 8400 can control other manufacturer’s motors. The 8400 Topline will also work well with asynchronous motors and accept resolver, HTL and TTL encoder feedback.

Yes, our Lenze 8400 Topline provides distributed motion control with dynamic performance.
