Product Description:
The PCE835-XYZ-N is a brushless servo drive manufactured by Pacific Scientific and supplied within the PC800 – PCE800 Brushless Servo Drives series. Designed for cabinet mounting beside a motion controller, this unit converts three-phase mains power into regulated AC output that commands permanent-magnet servo motors. Through digital and analog feedback loops, it supplies phase-synchronized current so that industrial axes can accelerate, decelerate, and hold position with repeatable precision. Its internal control also provides indexing capability for stand-alone sequences.
The drive supplies a continuous phase current of 7.5 ARMS @ 40 °C, which supports mid-frame motors without additional cooling. Under the same ambient rating, it supports motor output up to 5.6 kW @ 480 VAC, matching the needs of many conveyor, gantry, and winding stations. For short acceleration bursts, current can reach 22.5 ARMS, and this transient capacity remains thermally safe thanks to a power stage that runs at 97% efficiency. A switching rate of 16 kHz reduces audible noise and improves current ripple performance. The command interface accepts RS-232/485 serial messages, ±10 V analog velocity references, step-and-direction pulses, or stored indexing tables, giving the drive multiple integration options. Average input demand on the mains is 11.0 ARMS, which helps keep cable and breaker sizing moderate.
At power-up, the DC bus charges with an inrush profile that peaks at 175 A for 1.5 msec, so line contactors must tolerate this brief surge. Once energized, the bulk capacitors retain 70 J of energy, helping maintain control voltage during short dips. Motor compatibility spans inductances from 1.7 mH to 1.7 H, allowing the drive to operate with both low-impedance torque motors and high-impedance servos without stability issues. Excess kinetic energy is dissipated first through the internal converter, which can absorb 100 W continuously, and during severe braking through an external resistor of 33 Ω that handles a shunt capability of 20 kW. This arrangement manages regenerated energy during deceleration while keeping the axis under control.
