Product Description:

The SMARTSTEP-240> is a drive system for step motors engineered by Danaher. It boasts impressive control and output capabilities, providing fine-tuned motion for enhanced precision in diverse applications. The drive continuously adjusts the power supplied to the step motor, regulating speed and torque for optimized performance. This drive model is designed to support motor currents ranging from 0 to 3.9 amps in precise 0.1 amp increments. The drive can fine-tune the motor’s current to match specific load requirements, from light to heavy-duty tasks, enhancing its versatility in diverse automation settings.

The SMARTSTEP-240 features a nominal bus voltage of 320 VDC, providing consistent performance across a range of motor types and applications. It offers a balance between high power capability and safe, reliable operation, ensuring steady voltage to avoid performance fluctuations. The drive features selectable waveform control, which allows users to choose between different types of waveforms for driving the motor. This flexibility enables optimal performance depending on the specific motor and application requirements. Sinusoidal waveforms can be selected for smoother operation with reduced motor noise and vibration, while trapezoidal waveforms may be chosen for greater torque at lower speeds. This makes the drive adaptable to various industrial automation applications.

This drive operates with a switching frequency of 20 kHz, ensuring smooth and precise motor control. This high frequency minimizes ripple currents, reducing electrical noise and motor vibrations for quieter and more efficient operation. The drive also comes with integrated over-temperature and short circuit safeguards to protect the system from damage during operation. The over-temperature protection ensures that the drive remains within safe operating temperatures while the short circuit protection immediately disconnects the system in the event of a short circuit.
