CR03560 by Kollmorgen

The Kollmorgen CR03560 drive is part of the prestigious CD Servostar CD Drives series, offering a fully digital current-loop motor driver solution for precise speed and torque control. This high-performance unit accepts a ±10 V analog input voltage range and operates with a 16 kHz PWM switching frequency to deliver rapid response and fine resolution in demanding motion applications. Designed to serve industrial automation and control tasks, the CR03560 ensures accurate motor command following and reliable operation under varying load conditions.

Beyond its core function as a digital current-loop motor driver, the CR03560 provides dual operating modes: OPMODE 1 (Analog Velocity) for smooth speed regulation and OPMODE 3 (Analog Torque) for direct current or torque control. The drive’s continuous current rating of approximately 6 A is managed by a self-protecting power stage featuring drift minimization for stable performance. Flexible feedback options include incremental encoder inputs (A/B + index, hall) and resolver interfaces, with decoding capabilities up to 3 MHz pre-quadrature and 12 MHz post-quadrature. Configuration and monitoring are simplified via the RS-232 communication interface using the optional MOTIONLINK® software and personality module, with support for Firmware Version 1.1.0 and MOTIONLINK Version 4.4.3.

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the CR03560 operates reliably between 0°C and 45°C ambient temperature and up to 95% non-condensing humidity. Advanced protection features guard against over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage, and thermal events, including current foldback to prevent damage under abnormal thermal rise. An optional 24 VDC logic supply voltage input enables independent control circuitry, enhancing system resilience. By combining digital precision, robust protection, and flexible feedback, the CR03560 drive delivers significant benefits in industrial automation, ensuring high efficiency, reduced downtime, and extended service life in factory and process control applications.
