Greetings everyone!
I'm starting to design the next drive that should be available in some point 2008.
Target specs in short:
-Supply voltage range 12-80 Vdc
-Output current 10A cont, 20A peak
-Discrete MOSFET power stage
-Fourth power output pin for 2-phase stepping motors
-Card-like construction that can be installed in control box wall without intermediate wiring from drive to back panel
-Sub-D connectors for motor windings and encoder
-Short circuit & overtemp protections
-99% based on VSD-A firmware but adds couple of new features
It is not replacing VSD-A but is merely an addition to drive selection (a low voltage version with premium stepper support).
I'm asking you folks whether you have some ideas to be added/changed in this drive compared to VSD-A :-) It would be very helpful if you described your "dream drive" for your particular needs.
Thanks,
Tero
