8520-S10

The 8520-S10 is a Bulletin 8520 series 9/440 10kW CNC drive system module, manufactured by Allen-Bradley. This 9/440 resolver-based system module is a feature-rich CNC control device, integrated with a digital servo drive. This bulletin 8520 device is used as a base to construct CNC machine systems, mostly lathe and milling machines. These CNC drive system modules, like the 8520-S10, reduce integration time and investment costs through the integration of CNC programming functions with motor drive functions. Allen Bradley’s CNC machines, based on the 8520-S10, are a perfect solution for the creation of prototypes and for small production series of manufacturing demanding components as well as for serial production. The input side of this module requires a 380 to 460 Volt AC three-phase voltage with 13A rated current. This 9/440 series system module generates 10kW at its output (530 to 680 Volts DC) with 15A current rating. An additional input of 24 Volts AC/DC is required for the control circuit supply. The 8520-S10 main user-accessible features are a CNC assembly section composed of feedback and processor boards, I/O ring for communication (fiber optic), power supply board, and the wiring board. This 10kW system module is engineered to be coupled with Allen-Bradley’s servo drives from 1326 series. This CNC drive system module can support servo motors with a 1-millisecond servo loop update time, which, when combined with advanced control algorithms, guarantees perfect motor speed and position control. The Allen-Bradley 8520-S10 10kW system module is packed in an enclosure with dimensions of 280.0 x 400 x 150 millimeters (11.0 x 15.75 x 5.91 inches). This product’s weight is 10.68 kilograms (23.5 pounds), and the production of the 8520-S10 module has been terminated.
