PRD-0048MD0C-00 by Kollmorgen

The Kollmorgen PRD-0048MD0C-00 drive is part of the SMC Motion Stepper Drives series from Kollmorgen. Designed for precision motion control, it delivers up to 9A RMS current handling and operates on a 12 to 80 VDC power supply. Featuring high-speed capability with a step frequency of up to 200 kHz and a speed range of 0 to 10,000 RPM, its primary function is to drive stepper motors with exceptional accuracy and repeatability in industrial automation systems.

This stepper drive offers advanced technical features including programmable ramp profiles for smooth acceleration control, dynamic current regulation for energy efficiency, and support for encoder feedback in closed-loop operation. A built-in uPLC with eight digital/analog I/Os enables complex control tasks without an external controller. Communication is flexible, supporting EtherCAT, Profinet, Modbus TCP, CANopen, RS485, and IO-Link, while diagnostic LEDs provide real-time status for power, fault, and communication health. Input voltage tolerance of approximately b110% ensures reliable performance under variable supply conditions.

Durability and compatibility are enhanced by dual protection ratings: IP42 for PCB versions and IP65 for housed models, safeguarding against dust and water ingress. The drive maintains full operation at temperatures up to 120 C (248 F), ensuring continuous service in demanding environments. Configurable step resolution—from full step to microstep—and adjustable torque control via software or analog input further extend its applicability. The PRD-0048MD0C-00 combines robust design, versatile connectivity, and precise motion control, providing industrial systems with reliable performance, reduced downtime, and optimized efficiency.
