Product Description:

The BDS5A-230-40000-606A-4-030 is an AC servo drive manufactured by Kollmorgen for the BDS Industrial Servo Drives series. It conditions single-phase utility power and delivers tightly regulated three-phase output to matched motors. This operation allows accurate speed and torque control in automated assembly stations, material-handling gantries, and similar motion-control installations.

The control section communicates through an RS-232 port that supports parameter loading and real-time diagnostics from a host PC or PLC. Power enters at 230 VAC, and the inverter stage can supply up to 30 A per phase to the motor windings. Thermal energy is removed by passive convection cooling, eliminating the need for fans or external liquid-cooling equipment. Eight configurable logic channels provide 8 I/O connections for limit switches, drive-ready signals, or application-specific interlocks. Closed-loop operation relies on an encoder input that returns incremental position data to the drive regulator. The vertical mounting orientation supports installation in standard control cabinets. The housing has 7.0 mm mounting holes arranged for standard drive panels, and its maximum depth of 284.0 mm allows it to fit shallow enclosures without interfering with rear wiring paths.

At least 20 mm of spacing between units and 25 mm of unobstructed vertical clearance are required to maintain adequate airflow. These open spaces allow heated air to rise away from the housing and reduce the risk of localized heat buildup around adjacent equipment. The housing measures 140.0 mm wide and 343.0 mm high, providing a compact profile for its output current. An internal resolver-to-digital converter provides 14-bit resolution and maintains positional accuracy within 8 arc minutes. This conversion capability supports fine indexing by translating resolver signals into digital position data used by the control section during coordinated axis movement.
