Product Description:

The XEL-230-40 module is a servo drive from Copley Controls in the XENUS Digital Loop Modules series. It regulates current and velocity for brushed or brushless actuators, converting single-phase mains power into controlled DC that closes high-bandwidth loops in industrial automation lines. By integrating with motion controllers using ±5 V analog commands and digital encoder feedback, the unit supplies precise torque and speed control to conveyors, pick-and-place axes, and similar positioning systems.

The drive delivers a continuous output of 20 Adc, enabling steady torque production without thermal derating. For short bursts, it can supply 40 Adc for up to 1 s, accommodating rapid acceleration or shock loads before returning to its continuous rating. Current is updated within a tight control loop that runs at 16 kHz, while the velocity regulator closes at 4 kHz; these high loop rates minimize following error and ripple. The analog command interface spans ±5 Vdc, so external controllers can issue torque or velocity references with straightforward differential signaling. Logic circuits draw no more than 500 mA from the auxiliary supply, and the single-phase mains input may reach 20.0 Arms under full load. At 3.0 lb and measuring 7.92 × 5.51 × 2.31 in, the module fits inside compact control cabinets.

Motor phase switching is handled by carrier signals that can be modulated up to 100 kHz, and gate logic supports a minimum pulse width of 220 ns to preserve linearity even at low duty cycles. The quad-edge encoder port accepts counts at 2 Mline/s, permitting submicron resolution to propagate through the drive without missed edges. To prevent excessive di/dt in winding circuits, the amplifier requires at least 200 µH of line-to-line inductance; external reactors can be added when motors have smaller electrical time constants. Regenerated energy is routed to an internal dump resistor that connects when the bus voltage reaches +390 Vdc and disconnects near +380 Vdc, maintaining safe levels during deceleration or operation with overhauling loads.
