HiRel-servo-drives for harsh environments (Outdoor)

R-Series - DIGITAL SERVO DRIVE FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENT AND OUTDOOR

The R-series servo controllers from Copley can do everything that servo amplifiers for industrial applications can do - only they have been optimised for use in extreme environmental conditions and meet several MIL and other environmental standardards. The servo controllers in the R series are also fully digital servo amplifiers or servo controllers and there are variants for operation on 230Vac mains as well as on DC supplies from 9 Vdc to 180 Vdc. The R series have been developed for mobile applications with increased requirements for shock, vibration, humidity and temperature range such as vehicles and driverless transport systems (AGV), agricultural machinery and agricultural robots and military applications also in outdoor areas.

Copley's R-Series servo controllers are 100% software compatible with industrial servo controllers and therefore offer the same functionality and connectivity. RS-232 for communication with individual commands in ASCII format and indexer functionality (pre-programming and storage of entire programmes and their control via inputs) is possible, as is the CAN bus interface (CANopen, DSP402 profile). Some servo controllers in the R series also offer an optional EtherCAT interface and support various absolute encoders.

In addition to the general features, the R series servo controllers offer the following specifications that qualify them for use in extreme environmental conditions (e.g. outdoors):

• Ambient Temperature: -40°C to 70°C
• Thermal Shock: -40°C to 70°C in 1 minute
• Relative Humidity: 95% non-condensing at 60°C
• Vibration: 5 Hz to 500 Hz, up to 3.85 grms
• Altitude: -400 m to 5,000 – 16,000 m
• Shock: 40 g peak acceleration
• MIL-STD-810 Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory test
• MIL-STD-1275 Characteristics of 28 VDC Electrical Systems in Military Vehicles
• MIL-STD-704 Aircraft, Electric Power Characteristics
• MIL-STD-461 Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment
• MIL-STD-1399 Interface Standard for Shipboard Systems
• IEC-60079 Electrical Apparatus for Explosive Gas Atmospheres
• IEC-60068 Environmental Testing
• UL/IEC 61010-1, 3rd Edition
• UL/IEC 61800-5-1
• UL/IEC 61800-5-2

DIGITAL SERVO DRIVES FOR 110 / 230 Vac mains connection with CANopen

The Xenus R10 and R11 servo amplifiers are derived from the Xenus XSJ and XTL servo controllers for industrial applications and have the same functionality, but with extended environmental options that qualify them for HiRel (High Reliability) applications such as in mobile robotical, agricultural or military applications. The supply is single-phase or three-phase at 100 Vac to 240 Vac (interlinked); mains filters must be provided externally. The motor current ranges up to 14.2 Arms continuous.

For the current, speed or position control operating modes, +/-10V (12bit), RS232 or CANopen are available. In addition to incremental encoders (digital or analog), SSI and BiSS-C unidirectional absolute encoders can also be used; resolvers are possible using the Copley CSR module (data sheet Copley CSR Serial-to-Resolver Converter).

The proven CME software is used for commissioning and the other software tools from Copley (optional CANopen libraries for C++ (data sheet CML ) and COM objects (data sheet CMO ) can also be used.

DIGITAL SERVO CONTROLLERS WITH DC INPUT FROM 9 Vdc to 180 Vdc with CANopen

The R20, R21, R22, R23, R42, R43 and R44 servo amplifiers are derived from the Accelnet and Accelnet servo controllers for industrial applications and have the same functionality, but with extended environmental options that are required in automated guided vehicles (AGVs, AGVs) in warehouse logistics, agricultural machinery and robots and military applications. Power is supplied directly via DC supply at 9 Vdc to 180 Vdc (limited depending on type, see table). The motor current ranges up to 22.6 Arms duration (higher currents in preparation). Size is a particularly important issue in these applications.

For the operating modes current, speed or position control, +/-10V (12bit or 16bit), RS232 or CANopen or EtherCAT are available. In addition to incremental encoders (digital or analog), SSI and BiSS-C unidirectional absolute encoders can also be used with the derivatives of the Accelnet family with the Advanced Feature Set (AFS); the derviatives of the Accelnet Plus family can use other absolute encoders such as EnDAT, Hiperface (external supply required), Absolute A (HD, Tamagawa, Panasonic, Sanyo Denki, Nikon) or Biss; resolvers are possible using the Copley CSR module (data sheet Copley CSR Serial-to-Resolver Converter).

The proven CME software is also used here for commissioning and the other software tools from Copley (optional CANopen libraries for C++ (data sheet CML ) and COM objects (data sheet CMO ) can also be used.

DIGITAL SERVO CONTROLLERS WITH DC INPUT FROM 9 Vdc to 180 Vdc with EtherCAT

The R44 and R71 servo drives correspond to the previously shown variants R43 and R70 with CANopen and therefore also have the same extended environmental specification - but the R44 and R71 have an EtherCAT interface.

The other technical data, including encoder, operating modes, voltage and currents, correspond to the R43 and R70 servo controller with CANopen and are therefore not explicitly listed again here. The software tools are also identical.

STEPPER MOTORS CONTROLLERS DC INPUT from 9 to 90 Vdc WITH CANopen

There is also a need for solutions for stepper motor controllers with special requirements for the ambient conditions. Our manufacturer of stepper motor amplifiers, Copley, meets this need with the R52 stepper motor controller. This corresponds in functionality to its counterpart for industrial applications, the StepNet Plus SEM, in particular the R52 can also be operated in servo mode in conjunction with a corresponding encoder (incremental or absolute). However, like the servo controllers above, the R52 stepper controller has the additional specifications for extended environmental requirements (shock, vibration, humidity and temperature range) in order to be used in mobile applications such as vehicles and driverless transport systems (AGV), agricultural machinery and agricultural robots and military applications, even in outdoor areas.
