SAM-DA-400-14B-P5N-E by Danaher

The Danaher SAM-DA-400-14B-P5N-E servo amplifier is a robust and reliable member of the SAM Servo Amplifiers series, designed to meet demanding industrial automation requirements. Manufactured by Danaher, this amplifier delivers a Power Rating of 400 W and operates from a Input Voltage of 24 VDC, ensuring compatibility with standard low-voltage DC systems. Featuring an EasyBus Communication Interface for seamless integration, the unit provides both high performance and straightforward connectivity. The compact design, coupled with a clear 7-segment Status Display, makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained motion control installations. Its rugged construction is optimized for harsh industrial environments where reliability is paramount.

Technical capabilities of the SAM-DA-400-14B-P5N-E include a versatile Command Interface supporting host/service commands to enable or disable output, and a dedicated Diagnostic Feedback system that reports Carrier failures, CRC errors, and CPU self-test faults in real time. The LED Indicators provide visual confirmation of a valid 24 VDC supply, while the Status Display blinks at ~2 Hz during normal operation for quick status checks. Multiple Operating Modes - including Standby, Run, Reset, Boot, and Initialization - offer flexible control over startup sequences and run states. High-speed fault diagnostics ensure that any anomalies are logged and displayed immediately, minimizing system downtime.

Operational features focus on safety and continuity. The amplifier's built-in Output Protection incorporates both Overcurrent protection and Short-circuit protection, automatically engaging service-on-fault routines to safeguard connected motors and cables. The Reset Function supports automatic reset on startup or via host command, streamlining recovery after transient faults. A dedicated Self-Test routine executes on every power-up, verifying internal processor integrity and reporting any anomalies through the status indicators. For synchronized multi-axis setups, the unit requires a PAM Sync Signal for accurate timing alignment. These features collectively enhance operational uptime and reduce maintenance overhead.

Integration and application of the SAM-DA-400-14B-P5N-E are simplified through its native System Integration capability with the PAM & SAM industrial motion control ecosystem. This amplifier interfaces seamlessly with Danaher's PAM controllers, enabling coordinated multi-axis motion profiles in packaging, labeling, and assembly systems. Its standardized EasyBus protocol and host/service command set facilitate straightforward configuration and monitoring via factory automation software. Whether deployed in standalone installations or complex motion architectures, the SAM-DA-400-14B-P5N-E offers the precision, reliability, and flexibility demanded by modern industrial automation.
