Servo drives

From the basic device to the full fitout: Match the controller and power unit features precisely to your application. Save time and costs by only configuring and supporting what is really needed.
You can choose flexibly between different encoders, hardware and safety options. Analog and digital I/Os are also freely scalable. From STO to hardware through to higher safety over FSoE, safety applications are adjusted to the respective needs.
A large number of cooling options (air, water, oil and push-through technology) also enables drive dimensioning tailored to the application.
The intermediate circuit capacity is also scalable and, in this way, can be adjusted optimally to the application.
Components such as the ballast chopper or the brake are only included in the device if they are necessary for the application.
The charging circuit can be implemented as a thyristor infeed or as resistor charging. The starting frequency of the thyristor infeed is unlimited whereas, depending on the application, the choke can be omitted for the resistor charging.

The compatibility of all Baumüller products enables an open and scalable system architecture. You can configure the drive unit individually depending on the power and functional scope required. The modular system of the motors with different shafts, encoder options and fine speed graduation can be combined flexibly with different servo drives. In this way you achieve optimum efficiency for your application.
Baumüller systems and components can be flexibly combined with different machine controls. Our servo drives thus cover all commonly used bus systems, such as VARAN, Modbus TCP, ProfiNet IRT, EtherNET/IP, EtherCAT, and Powerlink.

The dynamic temperature model is implemented as a new function in our servo controllers. It monitors the maximum capacity utilization of the electric drives at power peaks. As a consequence, the devices’ capacity is used better, are dimensioned smaller and, in addition to lower energy consumption, they also provide space and cost savings as well as high machine availability.
Baumüller also implements systems with intermediate circuit group for particularly high peak loads. Thus, process-related peaks can be intercepted and the electrical connected load can be significantly smaller and substantially more cost-effective.

Our new mono devices are extremely compact and are one of the most powerful on the market. The servo controllers therefore need significantly less space in the control cabinet and can be installed in an extremely confined space in the machine. The space savings therefore lead to a significantly reduced machine footprint. If you opt for water or oil cooling you can additionally reduce the installed volume.
By using the single cable solution, the omission of the encoder cable can reduce the wiring effort and save costs.
You can further reduce your control cabinet volume with an intermediate circuit group of the servo axis in combination with grid rectifier/grid inverters.

Speed is decisive – with ProDrive, Baumüller offers a powerful tool for the commissioning and parameterization of your drives. Due to the clear user guidance, you save plenty of parameter input time.
With the drive-integrated “Smart Tuning” function the controller and processing parameters are determined and optimized automatically. The self-optimization reduces the time you expend significantly.

The mechanical engineering development work and costs can be lowered significantly thanks to digital tools. The parallelization of development cycles produces a considerable time advantage.

Commission your drive system virtually with ProSimulation and optimize the machine directly in the digital twin. Design and systematic errors are identified early and are corrected in advance. The Baumüller drive components are included in ProSimulation as models and enable comprehensive drive simulation.

With ProDrive a perfected tool is available for easy commissioning and operation of servo converters. Guided commissioning simplifies parameterization additionally. In particular, you can carry out the initial startup quickly due to the intuitive user guidance of ProDrive.
The consistent standardization is time-saving: The Baumüller servo drives use the ETG (EtherCAT Technology Group) standard for FSoE and support the respective standards of the individual fieldbus systems.
An optional intermediate circuit fuse makes an external intermediate circuit fuse superfluous and further reduces the commissioning effort.

Integrated process safety: Functions such as transmission protection, adaption of the controller parameters, fault responses or even controller-integrated monitoring functions such as for servo pump applications ensure lower service costs, shorter standstill times, and lower system costs.
With the parameterizable deceleration ramp (SS1-r) limits can be safely exhausted for sensitive and dangerous applications. The function integrated in the new servo controllers thus leads to higher machine availability.

Short controller clock cycles enable, for example, optimal parameterization of the gain factors and thus highly dynamic positioning.
A high field weakening range with simultaneously good control performance ensure optimal and economical drive dimensioning.
An optimal torque-to-inertia ratio of the synchronous motors, the broad speed spectrum and the overload capability enable very high clock rates.

Virtually cogging torque-free motors, such as the Baumüller DSH1 high-precision servo motors meet the high synchronous operation needs. If high-precision motors are not possible for performance reasons, Baumüller offers the “cogging torque compensation” function integrated in the drive, which enables uniform smooth running even at low speeds.
Highly synchronous set value settings for motion controls thanks to the real-time capable EtherCAT field bus additionally increase precision and product quality.
Oversampling in the encoder evaluation ensures maximum positioning accuracies.
Optimal open-loop control mode achieved by combination of injection, controlled and e.m.f. method ensure the correct rotational direction, a high torque from zero speed and good speed control.
