ABB Application note Configuring ACSM1 for use with servo motors

The ABB ACSM1 AC servo drive can provide basic speed or torque control modes as well as versatile motion control features.

It also supports a wide variety of servo motors due to the flexible nature of the modular feedback interface modules.

Introduction

The aim of this application note is to outline how to configure an ACSM1 drive to run with an ABB BSM series AC servo motor.

ACSM1 drives can control induction, synchronous and asynchronous servo and high torque motors with various feedback devices.

The compact hardware, different variants and programming flexibility ensure the optimum system solution.

The innovative memory unit concept enables flexible drive configuration.

The ACSM1 is available in different sizes from 0.75 to 355 kW / (1 to 450 HP) and is designed

for three-phase operation with a 230 to 480 V AC supply.

All units have an IP20 enclosure for cabinet installation (UL open) and are suitable

for single drive and multi-drive (common dc) configurations with integrated Safe Torque-Off (STO) as standard.

The ACSM1 also has different option cards that can be added at the point of order or can be added at a later date,

these include F series fieldbus option modules and FEN series motor feedback modules.

The ABB BSM series of AC servo motors provides a wide range of inertias and torques

and are designed for excellent performance response.

This series has a rugged, durable, industrial design.

Many of the BSM motors are capable of peak torques equal to four times their continuous rating,

which can be used to provide high acceleration torques in applications.

BSM motors are available with a wide variety of feedback devices to suit application needs.

IEC and NEMA configurations are available as well as stainless steel variants.
