Sanyo Denki PE Servo Systems with SERCOS are fully-digital and offer both high-performance and a rich set of features. The only connection from the controller to the PE Series drives is the SERCOS fiber optic cable. The ac servo drives have complete built-in functionality including dynamic braking and handling of regenerative energy. Extra regeneration energy handling capability can be added to each PE Series servo drive with standard external regeneration resistors. The universal remote operator is used for easy setting of servo drive parameters and for checking the status of the servo system. The drive parameters can also be accessed with control software using the SERCOS identification numbers (IDN’s). Standard cables for motor power and encoder feedback are available that have all the necessary connections made on both ends of the cables. There is also an optional breakout board with screw terminals and a connection cable to facilitate the I/O connections to the servo drive.

A total of 3 PE Series system combinations are currently available:

2.5kW 3.0kW 5.0kW

Sanyo Denki SERCOS compatible servo systems are suitable for a broad range of applications including: Packaging, Converting, Winding, Injection Molding, Printing, Metal Forming, Material Handling, Web Handling, and most other types of general purpose industrial machine control.

Accessories

Breakout Terminal Board & Interface Cable

Another very useful accessory is the Breakout Screw Terminal Board and interface cable to the CN1 connector on the drive. This accessory makes all the I/O signals from CN1 available for user connection at the screw terminal board. There is a 10 foot limit on the length of the interface cable. This breakout board and interface cable should be contained within your control cabinet. Please consider this accessory to make your interface connections to the drive easy and trouble-free.

The handheld remote operator and 2 meter connection cable are common to the PE, PV, and PY servo drives. The remote operator is used for setting the servo drive parameters and for checking the internal status of the servo drive.

The easy-to-use remote operator has a 2 x 16 character LCD display. Each character is a 5 x 7 dot matrix. This allows for a more complete message display than the typical 8 character display provided by the competition. The compact remote operator is easy for anyone to use and is an excellent tool for the factory floor. One remote operator can be used for multiple servo drives because it is completely independent of the drive and can be quickly attached and removed as required.

The Remote Operator has four modes: parameter mode, monitor mode, alarm tracing mode, and test mode. Five test points are also available on the bottom of the remote operator: speed command, alarm status, motor excitation status, and two programmable test points - M1 & M2 (which allow the monitoring of additional drive signals).

Cables

The most common cause of start-up problems is faulty cabling. This is why we offer and require factory tested and fully terminated cables for all connections between the drive and motor. We offer motor power cables and motor feedback cables in several standard lengths. We also offer custom cable lengths in one foot increments at the same price per foot as standard length cables.

Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber optic SERCOS cables are available in plastic and glass for use inside and outside a control cabinet. Plastic fiber optic cables are available in several standard lengths but we also offer custom cable lengths in one-foot increments at the same cost per foot as standard length cables (custom length fiber cables do have an extra set-up fee; contact us for details).
