Product Description:
The AEP-180-09 is a compact DC-bus servo drive module manufactured by Copley Controls for the Accelnet CANopen Modules series. It connects directly to a CANopen network and converts bus commands or ±10 V analog references into phase-controlled current for brushless, DC, or stepper motors. In automated cells, the module supplies closed-loop torque and velocity regulation without occupying excessive panel space, giving machine builders a single component that combines fieldbus communication, motion control, and power amplification. Using onboard processing, it executes current, velocity, or position loops while reporting operating status to the PLC.
The power section accepts DC rails from 20 V DC up to 180 V DC, allowing the drive to operate with low-voltage battery packs or high-energy industrial supplies. Typical current draw is 3.3 A DC and can reach 10 A DC when the application accelerates. Motor winding current is regulated to 3 A DC continuously and can rise to 9 A DC during brief overloads, providing additional torque while limiting the risk of winding damage. Current is sampled and updated through a 16 kHz control loop synchronized with the internal PWM carrier, so the drive responds quickly to command changes. The front end also accepts a ±10 V analog input, providing compatibility with legacy motion cards.
The module provides 8 digital inputs with optical isolation and 3 sourcing outputs for functions such as brake release, fault indication, or relay control. The switching network operates at a 32 kHz PWM frequency above the typical audible range, while a minimum load inductance of 200 µH helps smooth the motor phase current. An output impedance of 0.075 Ω keeps conduction losses low, and the one-second peak-current window limits heating during overloads. The enclosure measures 196 × 99 × 31 mm, providing a compact footprint for installation in space-constrained control panels. Its cast baseplate transfers heat into the mounting surface, supporting thermal management during sustained operation.
