My understanding of a servo drive is as follows;

The servo drive consists of many individual circuits that you can choose to work together to give you your tailor made operation.


For example you have 'servo on-enable' circuit that consists of alarm clear, zero speed and requires a 24V input to energise the circuit.

you can then have a circuit that looks after the speed control or position control that also requires a voltage input

then there is also the external break circuit which requires it's own 24V input via a relay.

My question is how many of these DC 12V power supply can you hook up to a servo drive or do you use one to do the lot?


From my post you will see i'm a total beginner.
