Features:
- IGBT-Based Drive Technology
- Compact
- 4-, 6- or 8-Axis Servo Drive Package
- Drive Brush, Brushless or AC Induction Motors
- Embedded 32-Axis Turbo PMAC2 Motion Controller
The OMRON Geo Brick Drive Series Programmable Servo Amplifiers combine the intelligence and capability of the Turbo PMAC2 motion controller
with IGBT-based drive technology, resulting in a compact, smart 4-, 6- or 8-axis servo drive package.
The flexibility of the Turbo PMAC2 enables the Geo Brick to drive Brush, Brushless or AC induction
motors with unsurpassed pure digital DSP performance. The absence of analog signals - required for
typical motion controller/drive interfacing - enables higher gains, better overall performance and tighter
integration, while significantly driving down costs and setup time.
The Geo Brick's embedded 32-axis Turbo PMAC2 motion controller is programmable for virtually any
kind of motion control application. The built-in software PLCs allow for complete machine logic control.
The Geo Brick Drive supports the following types of motors: three-phase AC/DC brushless, synchronous rotary/linear; DC brush; AC Induction, asynchronous - with or without encoder; and stepper output to third party drives or through MACRO connectivity.
The 603879-102 OMRON GEO Brick Auxiliary Interface Fieldbus Expansion Board may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
