Product Description:

Kollmorgen’s DSA 015-230-S belongs to the DSA SERCOS Drives series and functions as a compact servo drive for closed-loop motion axes in automated machinery, where it supports precise speed and position response in packaging, assembly, and material-handling equipment. Through the SERCOS interface, it exchanges real-time setpoints with a higher-level controller, while its internal regulators generate the motor phase currents needed for accurate torque production and stable axis behavior. The unit is intended for cabinet mounting and accepts a single-phase mains supply, making it suitable for compact automation systems and small to mid-range installations where three-phase service is not available.

The drive delivers up to 1.0 kW of continuous mechanical power from a 230 VAC source and can supply a steady motor current of 5 A. Line draw remains moderate at 9 Arms, yet the design tolerates an inrush of 100 A when power is first applied, which helps the unit accommodate startup conditions without changing its normal operating range. Current regulation is refreshed every 125 µsec, and the velocity loop closes at 250 µsec, while eight digital inputs and four digital outputs support switches or interlocks and the energy absorber stores 51 J to suppress regenerated surges during rapid deceleration. This fast update behavior helps torque commands follow reference changes with minimal lag during acceleration, deceleration, and load disturbances.

Short bursts that exceed the continuous envelope are handled by a peak current capability of 15 A, coordinated through a position loop that updates every 1 mS for accurate end-point placement during repeated motion changes. The drive can operate at ambient temperatures up to 55 °C without additional derating, and a built-in relay contact rated for 1 A at 30 VDC can switch a brake or fault lamp directly for straightforward machine interfacing. The compact enclosure weighs 2.1 kg, which reduces panel load and makes the unit easier to place in cabinets where space and mounting weight must be managed carefully.
