The Metronix ARS 2000-SE "standard edition" drive range

The servo drive product family ARS 2000-SE follows the Metronix ethos of providing "universal" servo drive products that can be quickly adapted to the needs of the customer. This new "standard edition" combines the main features of the original ARS 2000 drive series with some new benefits:

• The drive peak current has been increased to up to 4 times the rated current.
• Control and configuration of the servo drive via the integrated Ethernet or USB interface.
• Parameterisation of the servo drive via SD card, allowing fast drive set-up without additional tools, ideal for series production or service cases.
• Integrated and certified STO that meets the requirements of Category 4 / PL e according to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL according to EN 62061.

 The SE series retains features such as:

• CANopen interface, DSP 402
• Integrated EMC filters, additional costs for external line conditioning and additional installation costs for wiring can be avoided.
• The integrated, multi-function encoder interface supports a wide range of available encoder systems including resolver, hall-sensors, quadrature encoder, sinusoidal encoder, Hiperface and EnDat 2.1 and 2.2.
• Compact design with integrated line and motor filters.
• Excellent price-performance ratio.

To provide a cost saving some of the less frequently demanded features have been removed. These include:

• RS 232 interface (replaced with EtherNET and USB)
• Integrated Power Factor Control
• Expansion slots for additional Technology Modules

The SE servo drive range is available for single (100 to 230Vac) and three (230 to 480Vac) phase mains operation, with the following ratings:

Single phase ARS 2100-SE
