Product Description:
The PCE843-001-F servo drive is produced by Pacific Scientific as part of the PC800-PCE800 Brushless Servo Drives series. It functions as the power-conversion and control stage between an industrial controller and a brushless motor, supplying regulated three-phase current while exchanging motion commands with higher-level automation equipment. Within automated assembly cells, packaging machinery, and gantry axes, the unit delivers velocity and position control to maintain repeatable throughput.
Motion data reach the drive through the SERCOS Option interface, allowing deterministic fiber-optic communication with PLCs. During continuous operation, the power stage supplies up to 3.75 ARMS of output current, corresponding to a sustained mechanical output of 2.6 kW when it is powered from a 480 V AC bus. Conversion losses are limited because the power stage runs at an efficiency of 97%, so only minimal panel cooling is required. At that same load, the incoming line current remains at 5.1 ARMS, which eases circuit-breaker sizing, and the drive maintains its 16 kHz ripple frequency to keep torque ripple low. The internal resolver decoder delivers 24-bit position feedback per revolution for smooth interpolation.
Transient events are handled by the current limit, which permits 10.6 A peak for acceleration bursts and supports a short-term electrical output of 6.4 kW. The connected motor may be installed up to 50 m away without degrading the control bandwidth, and windings with inductance between 5 mH and 5 H are accepted, giving flexibility in motor selection. Excess regenerative energy is dissipated by the onboard shunt circuit that connects to a 66 Ω braking resistor rated at 200 W, while the regulator can momentarily absorb 10 kW. Peak energy is buffered by the power section's DC link during rapid load reversals in indexing tables and pick-and-place actuators.
