SPS-2722 Servo Digital Controls for Commercial Applications
Overview
The Servo Digital Control Unit (SDC) is a microprocessor-based, servo controller, providing both position and rate-loop control of the positioner.
A firmware download that modifies digital compensation filters allows the position and rate servo-loops to be optimized for different payloads.
The SDC includes multiple RS-422/RS-232/RS-485 and Ethernet ports to allow control of, and access to, the signals generated by sensors and monitoring equipment associated with the payload. Honeywell's brushless, low-torque-ripple motors and the Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) amplifiers within the SDC provide rapid and precise control of the pedestal.
The SDC monitors servo faults and provides a number of safety features, which include the ability to prevent remote operation of the positioner while maintenance personnel are working on the unit.
The SDC is available for mounting in either a 19-inch EIA rack, a NEMA weatherproof enclosure or it can be custom packaged. The SDC may be commanded by an external computer system, joystick, or autotracker.
