Compatible With Battery Power
A wide range of power supply voltage specifications are available for use with battery power supply. 24 VDC and 48 VDC are supported. The following shows the range of allowable operating voltages.
-
- *For electromagnetic brake motors, the voltage range is 22.8 to 32 VDC.
Optimal Current Control Saves Energy
The servo emulation mode optimizes the current supplied to the motor according to the load conditions.
Visualization of Power Supply Voltage
-
The power supply voltage of the driver can be monitored from a host control device.
-
If the driver power supply voltage drops below a pre-set threshold, a signal is output.
Applications
Incorporation Into Self-Propelled Devices
Equipment Problem | Battery operation time must be maximized. |

Lightweight Design Reduces Equipment Burden
By reducing the overall equipment mass, the power consumption for the wheel drive shafts can be reduced.
- *The mass is 84~110 g except for AZD-KR2D.
Incorporation into Stationary Equipment
Equipment Problem | Install the driver and control systems in separate locations to reduce overall equipment size. |
