502-04077-00 by Kollmorgen

The 502-04077-00 from Kollmorgen is a robust motion control module within the PIC900 Drives series, engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Featuring optical isolation between logic and field sides for enhanced protection, this module safeguards system electronics from voltage spikes and electrical disturbances. Operating across an Operating Temp. Range of 7°C to 55°C (45°F to 131°F), it remains resilient under thermal stress. With a +V Input Voltage of 4.75 to 5.25 VDC and a Logic-Side Power draw of 140 mA at 5 VDC for the 8-channel version, the 502-04077-00 balances power economy and processing capability. The unit’s Field-Side Connector—40-pin card-edge with screw terminals ensures secure termination and straightforward installation.

Technical capabilities of the Kollmorgen 502-04077-00 are extensive, starting with its Step Rate of 0 to 10,000,000 steps/s which enables ultra-high-speed positioning. The Step Count Range from 1 to 8,388,609 steps supports fine-grained motion demands for complex trajectories. Outputs are delivered through Totem-pole outputs rated at 15 mA sink and 5 mA source, suitable for driving a variety of downstream devices. Real-time health monitoring is facilitated by the Diagnostic Indicator DIAG LED off on power-on self-test pass, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. In the event of communication failure, the Scan Loss Response halts pulse output to prevent uncontrolled motion.

Operationally, this drive module excels in both efficiency and reliability. The Logic-Side Power consumption remains fixed at 140 mA, while the +V Input channels draw only 45 mA per channel, minimizing heat generation. The built-in optical isolation eliminates ground loop issues and reduces electromagnetic interference risks. By providing a dedicated Diagnostic Indicator lamp, operators can detect and resolve faults before they escalate. The drive’s ability to sustain full performance across its Operating Temp. Range makes it suitable for factory floors, packaging lines, and robotic cells where temperature fluctuations are common.

Integration of the 502-04077-00 into existing automation systems is seamless. The standardized 40-pin card-edge connector and screw terminal layout conform to industrial conventions, expediting panel design and wiring. Compatibility with other PIC900 Drives ensures unified drive management via Kollmorgen’s configuration software. Whether deployed in CNC machines, pick-and-place robots, or conveyor systems, this module offers precise control, reliable diagnostics, and the ruggedness required for continuous operation in automated production facilities.
