MD-404-00-000 Control Techniques Drive Module

The Emerson / Control TechniquesMDS Series Modular Drive Systems is a 480V servo system comprised of a common Power Module and up to eight Drive Modules. The modular approach provides an optimum solution for each application. The Power Module provides the AC rectification and provides DC bus power for up to eight Drive Modules. The common power supply minimizes installation space and cost because there is only one AC Input, one Contactor, one set of AC fuses and one AC line Filter per system. Each Power and Drive Module mounts on an innovative backplane that provides the connection for the DC Bus and Logic Power, this minimzes installation time. A compact installation is possible because the backplanes mount next to each other, removing the need for space between each axis. Fuses (included) are mounted directly on each Drive Module backplane to provide individual protection for each axis.

The Drive Modules can operate as base drives providing Velocity, Torque and Pulse/ Direction operations. For positioning and more advanced applications with more functionality add a FM module to that axis for control. FM modules give the MDS "snap-on" functionality for indexing (FM-2), programming (FM-3) and advanced programming (FM4).
