The Ecompact compact drive features digital current, speed, and position control with position, speed and torque limiting. Comprehensive motion control functionality is integrated. Thus, depending on the application a higher-level controller can be omitted.

Parameterization and setpoint setting is carried out via CANopen.

Furthermore, the Ecompact provides the following features:

• Digital filter functions effective on resonant loads
• Jerk filters optimize the motion profiles
• Limit switch and reference sensor evaluation, various homing modes
• Short-circuit, voltage, temperature, encoder, tracking error, and i2xt monitoring
• Intelligent control of a holding brake with automatic voltage reduction
• General purpose digital I/Os
• Restart lockout via second enable input
• Readiness for operation message via digital output
• Free programmable sequences for realisation of individual control and operation concepts
• Eco Studio: convenient Windows-based user interface for commissioning and parameterization supported by wizards.

Compared to a solution where the servo amplifiers are located in a central cabinet, decentral compact servo drives have some advantages:

• Less cabling effort
• Smaller cabinet
• Minimizing of error sources
• Commissioning is faster and more simple
• Lower price because of integration.

Ecompact is based on our well-proven Ecostep motors series 23S:

• Encoder commutated multi-pole synchronous motor
• NEMA 23 flange (56,2 mm)
• Stall torque: 0,77 Nm to 2,30 Nm
• Rated torque: 0,4 Nm to 0,98 Nm
• Supply voltage: 24 V_DC to 60 V_DC
• Position feedback via incremental encoder, resolution 128 000 inc/rev. or absolute value encoder, resolution 17-bit/rev and 12-bit revolutions.
