Machinery drive with true servo performance
ABB's machinery drive, rated from 0.75 to 45 kW, uses standard AC drive technology but with significant performance improvements, allowing control of synchronous or asynchronous motors, either open loop or closed loop.
Machine builders often require various positioning and synchronization options, including centralized position control from motion controller or distributed motion control. The ABB machinery drive has both options. With positioning and synchronization control at 500 micro seconds, the drive is suitable for the most demanding machinery uses. Reference handling inside the drive is configurable starting from 250 micro seconds for optimum performance.
