| Compact Package Housed in a compact package, MicroFlex is available in 3, 6 and 9A versions (with 200% overload). All current ratings share the same dimensions, making panel design simple for different application demands. Voltage operation is from 115 through 230VAC single or three phase, making MicroFlex ideal for international markets. Industry Standard Interface The industry standard ±10V analog command input can be configured for either a torque or velocity reference. Alternatively, an integrated TTL Step and Direction interface makes MicroFlex the ideal package for stepper drive upgrade in both new and retrofit applications. This can even be used to expand the number of servo axes when used with Baldor's NextMove controllers and their stepper interfaces. MicroFlex supports a software configurable encoder interface supporting: commutating encoders; Hall-effects and synchronous serial interface (SSI). Resolver is supported as an option. An encoder output interfaces directly to the motion controller or PLC for position and velocity update. Easy Set-up Set-up is performed from a simple wizard driven front end from within the Mint WorkBench. Standard Baldor motors are selected from a drop-down. For custom motors, the front end can calculate key parameters such as motor inductance, resistance and inertia. Only the simplest of data needs to be entered keeping setup time to a minimum. The auto-tune process will even detect incorrect wiring of the motor and feedback and electronically correct for them. Reliable Design To ensure reliability, MicroFlex protects against: over speed; over voltage; over current; feedback loss and motor I2t. Drive Diagnostics The multi-drop RS485 network can be used for drive diagnostics allowing the host controller such as NextMove or a PLC to interrogate the drive in the event of an error. |
