Single Axis Servo, or SAS, is a compact, AC powered servo drive for position, velocity and torque control of AC Brushless and DC Brush Motors. It operates on a distributed control network, as a stand-alone indexing drive, or with external motion controllers.
SAS is packaged with an intelligent control to offer a low cost, high performance single axis motor drive solution. Operate as an indexer, or program for point-to-point and/or Position-Velocity-Time (PVT) Motion. PVT mode gives users direct control over the trajectory profile as you specify the end position or distance, the end velocity, and the piece time
SAS can be operated in Indexing mode to simplify operation with PLCs. DeviceNet capability enables multiple drives to be controlled from Allen-Bradley PLCs. CAN bus operation supports Profile Position, Profile Velocity Profile Torque, Interpolated Position , and Homing. Multiple SAS drives can operate linked via the CAN so that they execute motion profiles together. Up to 127 drives can operate on a single CAN bus.
SAS finds uses in single axis point-to-point applications where high torque / load positioning demand the use of closed loop servo motors
SAS is a good choice where single axis controlled Point-to-Point movement is required. However, Up to 127 drives can operate on a single CAN bus.
Software Support
LabVIEW
The most common communication method used by the National Instrument (or LabVIEW) customer is the RS-232 ASCII protocol. LabVIEW includes general use tools in their software to control both CANopen and RS232 ASCII devices, such as our SAS series control.
