ECOVARIO®

ECOVARIO - the variable system

Because of its big variety of features the ECOVARIO servo drive is the solution for a broad range of motion and drive applications.

The servo amplifier series ECOVARIO covers a power range between 1,2 kW and 10 kW and 1-axis or 2-axes servo amplifier.

ECOVARIO is suitable for operation of 2- or 3-phase synchronous servo motors, DC motors and EC motors. ECOVARIO offers a large variety of interfaces and functionality. Standardized field bus options such as EtherCAT and other leading field bus systems ensure a fast system integration. Customer specific enhancements are possible.

ECOVARIO offers the following features:

• Digital current, speed, and position control with position, speed and torque limiting
• Position feedback via incremental encoder (RS-422, SINCOS) as well as via absolute value encoder (SSI, BISS, HIPERFACE or EnDat)
• Simultaneous use of several feedback systems
• Digital filter functions effective on resonant loads
• Parameterisable jerk filters for optimization of the motion profiles
• Short-circuit, voltage, temperature, encoder, tracking error, and i2xt monitoring
• Parameterisation and setpoint setting via EtherCAT, Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485 and other leading field bus systems
• Eight digital inputs and three digital outputs
• Scalable analogue input for any setpoint
• Intelligent control of a holding brake with automatic voltage reduction
• Limit switch and reference sensor evaluation, various homing modes
• Enabling of output stage and reset of fault conditions via digital input
• Readiness for operation message via digital output
• Status indication and setting of the field bus node address and baud rate on the front via display and two keys
• free programmable sequences for realisation of individual control and operation concepts

ECOVARIO has received UL/CSA approbation.

Our technology functions support among others:

• Synchronization, electronic gear unit
• Flying cut/Flying saw
• Winder
• Register control
