DEVELOPMENT KIT for Accelus™ CARD SERVOAMPLIFIER Copley Controls, 20 Dan Road, Canton, MA 02021, USA Tel: 781-828-8090 Fax: 781-828-6547 Tech Support: E-mail: sales@copleycontrols.com, Internet: http://www.copleycontrols.com Page 1 of 6 FEATURES • Mounts 1 to 4 Copley Controls Accelus™ Card Servoamplifiers • Full-wave-bridge rectifier, filter capacitors, and bleeder resistor provide unregulated DC from a transformer secondary • Screw-terminals for operation from DC power supplies • Compatible with Copley PST series DC power supplies to make complete 4-axis motion subsystem in a 7 x 11.5 in. footprint • OEM custom configurations available to eliminate motion control-card paddleboards & simplify system cabling • Support, connect, and power from 1 to 4 Accelus™ Card Servoamplifiers • Connect to DC switching or unregulated power supplies, or transformer secondaries • Sub-D and Euro connectors simplify wiring 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. MODEL SLOTS AMPLIFIER Ic Ip VDC SDK-090-04 4 ASC-055-18 ASC-090-09 63 18 9 55 90 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.
