Encoder or resolver feedback

The Ndrive® family of digital servo amplifiers are highperformance discrete drives used with the Automation 3200
motion controller. These drives are capable of controllingbrushless, DC brush, and stepper motors over a wide range
of operating voltages and currents. Based on a common
architecture, Ndrive amplifiers perform both current- andposition-loop closures digitally.
The use of high-performance double-precision processors
allows these drives to generate ultra-smooth motion
profiles. Servo system response is optimized with the use of
up to eight second-order loop-shaping filters, precise timealigned feed-forward and other proprietary techniques withloop closure rates up to 20 kHz.
The Ndrive family includes several versions of low noise,ultra-high-performance linear drives. The Ndrive series
provides high bandwidth and superb linearity required forthe ultimate in velocity regulation as well as positional
stability. The HLe offers the ability to use resolver or1

inductosyn sensors and provides the highest level of
encoder interpolation. The Ndrive CL is available forapplications requiring low noise and is optimized for costsensitive, lower-power applications. For low-power, highprecision systems use the Ndrive ML.
Options for the Ndrive family include integral encoderinterpolation, one- to three-axis position synchronizedoutput (PSO), automatic brake control, digital and analog
I/O expansion, absolute encoder interface, and one- or twochannel resolver interfaces. An optional dedicated ethernet
port is available on the HLe drives for connection to thirdparty I/O expansion devices. This provides the potential toconnect to a large number of I/O points typically requiredfor PLC-type applications.
Any combination of Ndrive amplifiers may be connected to
the Automation 3200 FireWire® network, allowing thesystem to be customized as needed.
