Nidec Control Techniques Digitax ST was a series of servo drives that have now been superseded by the newer Digitax HD series. While they were a reliable and capable line of servo drives, it’s important to be aware of their current status and consider the more modern alternatives.
Features
Maximize throughput with superior motor control
- High bandwidth motor control algorithm for servo motors
- Optimum performance for high-dynamic applications with 300 % overload
- Supports a wide range of feedback technologies from robust resolvers to high resolution encoders
– Up to two encoder channels simultaneously e.g. 1 feedback encoder and 1 simulated output
– Quadrature, SinCos, SSI, EnDat, Hiperface
– Robust resolvers (SM resolver module required)
– Simulated encoder output can provide position reference for CAMs, digital lock and electronic gearbox applications Reduce cabinet size with compact drive design - Digitax ST is compact and can be flush mounted which at high current ratings can save up to 50% of cabinet space compared to competitor products
- Onboard features such as Safe Torque Off reduce the need for external components Flexible machine design with option modules Digitax ST drives can be tailored for a variety of applications. Two option slots allow increasing capabilities.
- Communication options: to support Ethernet or popular fieldbuses such as Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS-DP and CANopen
- Feedback options: to support resolvers, or to increase the number of encoder inputs/outputs
- Input and output options: for additional on-board digital, analog or high-speed I/O
- Application modules: second processor for specific applications such as register control
Digitax ST is available in five variants:
- Digitax ST Base – Centralized, coordinated motion Designed for integration with centralized motion controllers and can connect with either digital or analog technology.
- Digitax ST Indexer – Easy to use, point-to-point positioning Has the same high performance features as the Base model, but additionally offers easy to use point-to-point positioning functionality.
- Digitax ST EZ Motion – Easy programming of high performance, synchronized motion applications Features an easy-to-use programming environment and high performance, offering a solution for many common positioning and synchronized motion applications.
- Digitax ST Plus – Flexibility for the most demanding applications Offers all of the features available on the Indexer drive together with more advanced motion functionality including cam profiling and synchronized motion.
- Digitax ST EtherCAT – Built in EtherCAT for integration with industrial EtherCAT networks Has the same high performance features as the Base model, but makes them easily accessible over any industrial EtherCAT network
