Product Description:

Kollmorgen manufactures the CE10560-S, a servo amplifier in the CD Servostar CD Drives series and within the Compact Drive family. The unit converts incoming mains energy into controlled motor current for AC servo axes, allowing precise speed or torque regulation in automated assembly cells, packaging machines, and material-handling stations. Acting as the interface between a motion controller and the motor windings, it combines power conversion, current regulation, and diagnostic reporting to support closed-loop motion in industrial automation.

It accepts a three-phase input of 230 VAC and draws a line input current of 13 A under a rated load, with a 15 A branch fuse isolating upstream conductors during faults. Internally, the inverter can continuously supply 10 A of motor current and deliver peak currents of 20 A rms during acceleration events. Power losses appear as 132 W of heat, so enclosure airflow must remove this load to avoid thermal saturation. Command values arrive through a 14-bit analog input, and this resolution works with the analog control interface and incremental encoder feedback to set precise velocity or torque references. The drive synthesizes a sinusoidal output waveform, and a 0.25 s soft-start charge interval limits inrush while precharging the DC bus capacitors.

For control logic, the unit relies on an external 24 VDC supply that keeps its microprocessor active during power interruptions. The protection stack disconnects the power stage at 80 °C, trips above 430 VDC on the internal bus, and shuts down below 90 VDC to prevent undervoltage misfires. These thresholds set the permissible thermal and electrical operating window and help provide predictable response when the drive is integrated into high-speed positioning axes or indexing conveyors.
