LS-173E is a single-axis motion controller with integrated servo amplifier designed for applications using Panasonic A and S series motors, standard brushless, or brush-commutated motors up to 1 HP. Trapezoidal brushless motor commutation is performed automatically if hall sensors are connected to the unit. Up to 31 intelligent servo drives can be controlled over a multi-drop full duplex RS-485 network in a distributed motion control environment. Standard RJ-45 connectors and commercially available cables are used for daisy chaining of the modules. LS-173E is equipped with various safety features such as short circuit protection for the motor and amplifier, over travel limit switch inputs, hardware stop input, over and under voltage shutdown. The maximum motor output current can be limited by setting of dipswitches or by software.
