Description:

LS-173AP is an enhanced version of the standard LS-173 servo drive with additional analog positioning mode for applications using brushless (AC) or brush-commutated (DC) motors. No jumpers or setup is required to switch between both types of motors. Trapezoidal brushless motor commutation is performed automatically if hall sensors are connected to the unit. Up to 31 intelligent servo drives can be controlled over a multi-drop full duplex RS-485 network in a distributed motion control environment. Standard RJ-45 connectors and commercially available cables are used for daisy chaining of the modules. LS-173AP is equipped with various safety features such as short circuit protection for the motor and amplifier, emergency stop input, over and under voltage shutdown. The maximum motor output current can be limited by setting of dipswitches.
