9101-3058

The Allen-Bradley 9101-3058 represents a servo drive from the Ultra Plus series and it is certified to work even under the most difficult conditions. It has 20 Amps of power and a phase for continuous current output. In addition, customers can rely on G-63200 Watts of Continuous Shunt Power and 6000 Watts of Shunt Power at peak. The Ultra Plus PDM motion control system embedded in this model is a positioning-drive system which integrates a high-performance sinusoidal brushless motor controller and a programmable position controller into a single package. Traditional motion controller architecture uses separate drive and position control modules, with an analog interface between individual components. The Ultra Plus PDM motion controllers inside the 9101-3058 use advanced microprocessor technology in order to control both position and velocity with a single processor, thus eliminating the need for any analog interface. The single processor architecture eliminates the problems associated with analog circuitry, such as offset and thermal drift. Both the velocity and position control loops are closed digitally, so gain parameters are stored as numbers which give repeatable results over time and from one controller to another.

The Allen-Bradley 9101-3058 may be used as a distributed motion control element integrated with a host computer in a flexible automation system or as a stand-alone, programmable motion controller. Optically isolated I/O and power supplies are integrated into the product. The electronic gearing feature allows the closed-loop axis to follow a second (master) encoder at a programmable ratio. A multi-axis addressing scheme (multi-drop operation) allows multiple Ultra Plus PDM drives to be controlled from a host computer over a single serial communications link. The Allen-Bradley 9101-3058 consists of multiple components, including a positioning drive module responsible for controlling the velocity, position, and torque of the motor, a module that makes the connection with the motor in use, a brushless motor with optical feedback, a power supply module, and an operator terminal.
