Product Description:

The S7720A-SEF2-F2 servo drive is manufactured by Kollmorgen and belongs to the S700 Servo Drives series. This AC drive regulates motor torque, velocity, and position in automated cells that include conveyors, gantries, and tool spindles. By conditioning incoming power and executing motion commands in real time, it serves as a core element of closed-loop industrial automation. It is intended for coordinated motion control where the same unit must respond quickly to speed changes and position updates across repeating machine cycles.

The drive operates from a three-phase supply of 208 to 480 V at 50/60 Hz, letting one model serve multiple regional power systems. Continuous operation is backed by 72 A RMS of rated current, while acceleration or shock loads can draw up to 140 A RMS per phase for 5 seconds before foldback occurs. Communication with the supervisory controller uses SERCOS II, providing deterministic cyclic data exchange. This communication method supports synchronized axis updates and consistent command timing. Thermal energy is removed by a temperature-controlled fan, and the installed fan-control card adjusts fan speed according to internal temperature. The unit has a width of 190 mm, a depth of 244 mm, and a height of 386 mm. Because the expansion slot is occupied, additional I/O cards must be installed remotely.

At nominal load, the converter releases 885 W of heat on a 230 V bus and 1135 W on a 480 V bus, so the enclosure needs adequate ventilation or an external cooling plate. An internal cold plate couples the power stage to an external cooling panel, and coated PCBs help resist moisture-borne contaminants. Dual-channel STO terminals provide a hardware path for emergency torque removal without opening the main contactor during programmed shutdowns or fault responses. This allows torque-producing energy to be removed while the rest of the shutdown sequence remains controlled. Quiescent dissipation is 24 W when the drive is idle. The unit has a mass of 13 kg.
