PRD-AMPE25EC-00 by Kollmorgen

The Kollmorgen PRD-AMPE25EC-00 drive is a high-performance member of the PD Servostar Servo Drives series designed for precision motion control in industrial automation. It delivers responsive control through its PWM Frequency of 16 kHz and operates on a System Voltage of 5 VDC, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control architectures. The drive supports positional and velocity feedback with exceptional fidelity, leveraging advanced signal processing and robust protection features to maintain system integrity. With its compact brick-style mounting in a metallic, enclosed environment, the PRD-AMPE25EC-00 provides a reliable solution for applications that demand smooth, low-noise performance. The device’s built-in safeguards against wire breaks and illegal Hall-code detection further enhance its suitability for critical industrial tasks.

In terms of technical specifications, the PRD-AMPE25EC-00 offers a 14-bit analog input resolution or 15-bit resolution with dual-gain for inputs under 4 V, enabling fine measurement granularity. The drive’s feedback loop is supported by an Encoder Resolution of up to 10,000,000 lines, processed at a Max Input Frequency (pre-quad) of 3 MHz and a post-quadrature frequency of 12 MHz for high-speed signals. It recommends a Max Cable Length of 15 m (50 ft) to maintain signal integrity over extended runs. Continuous current supply is limited to 250 mA to match typical encoder and sensor requirements without overloading the onboard regulator. Signal types include Quad A/B with optional index, Hall inputs, and differential or open-collector outputs, accommodating a broad spectrum of motor feedback devices.

Operational performance is defined by its environmental resilience: the device maintains full functionality across an Operating Temperature range of 5 °C to 45 °C and can be stored safely from 0 °C to 70 °C. Protection features include an integrated voltage regulator, wire-break detection, and illegal Hall-code detection that quickly identify feedback faults. Safety trip functions cover overtemperature at 80 °C, undervoltage protection between 16–40 VDC, and overvoltage protection between 56–100 VDC, safeguarding both the drive and connected components against electrical anomalies. The PRD-AMPE25EC-00’s rugged design and precise fault-detection logic minimize downtime in continuous-operation environments.

System integration is streamlined through standard interface protocols and compact mechanical design, making the PRD-AMPE25EC-00 ideal for seamless installation in custom drives or OEM systems. Target applications include robotics, CNC machine tools, automated assembly cells, and other precision motion platforms where high-resolution feedback and robust protection are essential. Engineers deploying this Kollmorgen PRD-AMPE25EC-00 drive benefit from its advanced control capabilities, simplified wiring requirements, and proven reliability in demanding industrial settings.
