The ServoOne Junior delivers rated currents of 3.0-8.0A at 230V and 2.0-16.0A at 400V across a range of four compact designs. The ServoOne Junior is functionally compatible with the ServoOne drives family and is programmed and commissioned from the same Drive Manager software tool.

At the heart of Drive Manager is the flexibility to configure the drives for both standard servo drives and rotary or linear direct drives. A rated switching frequency of 8kHz and a current controller cycle time of 62.5µs (16kHz) ensure responsiveness and superior dynamics.

An extensive range of pre-controls and compensation methods deliver exceptional path accuracy. Field bus interfaces for EtherCAT, Sercos III or Profinet IRT allow synchronised motion tasks or profiles to be sent. Classic fieldbus systems such as CANopen or Profibus are also available.

The ServoOne Junior model incorporates the SIL3/PLe certified STO safety function. An integrated PLC, programmable to IEC 61131-3, additionally permits implementation of special or complex motion sequences and control functions directly in the drive.
