Product Description:
The SC725A-001-01 is a servo controller produced by Pacific Scientific and positioned within the SC720 Command Controllers series. As a torque/velocity controller, it regulates motor current or shaft speed based on external commands, providing closed-loop drive control for automated machinery. By combining power conversion with real-time signal processing, it links motion axes to upper-level PLCs while the resolver interface maintains synchronization between commanded and actual rotor position.
Its power section is designed for a three-phase supply of 240 Vac, drawing 29 Arms at 6 kW to energize the internal DC link. Under continuous operation, the drive can deliver 30 A of line-to-load current, and that setting can be raised to 40 A when additional thermal margin is available. This provides continuous shaft power of 9 kW, while dynamic moves are supported by a peak current rating of 60 A. A pulse-width modulation carrier of 20 kHz minimizes audible noise and motor ripple, and the internal shunt dissipates 200 W continuously or up to 20 kW in short bursts during fast deceleration.
Resolver feedback is processed at 12-bit resolution, and an encoder emulator outputs 1024 ppr quadrature signals so legacy motion cards can read incremental feedback without extra hardware. This arrangement supports older host controls that expect incremental feedback instead of direct resolver signals, and its analog command structure suits existing control systems that use conventional velocity references. For speed loops, the drive accepts a ±10 V command, and offset drift is limited to 50 mV/°C to help maintain accuracy of ±22 arcmin over temperature. The DC bus operates at 320 Vdc, and the controller weighs 40 lbs for cabinet-mounted installations.
