83U03103A-0017 by Kollmorgen

The 83U03103A-0017 controller from Kollmorgen represents an advanced module within the AC SuperDrive Motion Units series, engineered to meet exacting demands in industrial automation. As a part of the APS 36V-S family, this unit carries the Manufacturer Part Number: 83U03103A-0017 and operates at a 36V nominal Operating Voltage, delivering precision steering control and advanced torque management. Designed by Danaher for brushless or induction AC motors, it features Integrated mounting flanges & connectors for straightforward panel integration and rapid deployment in machine frames. The drive’s compact metal casing combines with heat-dissipating fins to provide fanless cooling, ensuring continuous operation without the need for liquid-cooling systems. A suite of Status LEDs offers immediate system health feedback—"OK" indicates normal function, while "NOK" flags fault conditions for accelerated troubleshooting.

Performance is optimized through flux vector control technology that regulates magnetic flux and current vector for accurate speed and torque outputs. The module employs dynamic braking recovery to convert kinetic energy back into electrical energy, enhancing overall energy efficiency and extending battery life in mobile platforms. Utilizing a 4-quadrant control scheme, it manages forward and reverse acceleration and deceleration with equal precision. Communication is handled via robust Digital (CAN, analog) Communication Interfaces, supporting CAN bus for seamless integration with vehicle control units and higher-level automation networks. Core Control Functions include steering torque and feedback control, enabling real-time adjustment of motor outputs to maintain stable, responsive performance under varying load conditions.

Built for the harshest industrial environments, the drive meets IP65 equivalent Ingress Protection standards, resisting ingress of dust and water jets. It operates reliably across specified Vibration, dust & temperature extremes, ensuring stable performance in extended-duty applications. The module’s rugged design and integrated mounting flanges simplify assembly within complex equipment, while the large multi-pin connector streamlines signal routing for sensor feedback and command inputs. As part of Kollmorgen’s AC SuperDrive Motion Units family, this controller integrates seamlessly with existing drive networks and motion control systems in packaging machinery, automated guided vehicles, robotic steer-by-wire applications, and other precision automation platforms where reliability and responsiveness are paramount.
