2 General Information
This manual describes the drive amplifiers of the series SD4B. Drive amplifiers of the
generation SD4x are BDM (basic drive modules) that can be used either as frequency
converter or as servo amplifier.
The drive amplifiers of the series SD4B allow operation of high-dynamic servo motors
as well as asynchronous high-frequency spindles in the low-voltage range.
The devices provide interfaces for different digital encoder systems. In addition, motor
systems without any sensors are supported, whereas different customized control meth-
ods are available. The devices can drive rotary and linear motors so that the number of
device variants is reduced for the machine manufacturer.
For real-time requirements, the devices provide an optional fieldbus interface.
The devices are designed according to the standard DIN EN 61800-5-1.
This manual provides information on:
▶ Safety instructions and application advice
▶ Notes about the electromagnetic compatibility
▶ Description of the device (block diagram, type plate, module designation)
▶ Technical data, dimensions
▶ Connector pin assignment
▶ Wiring examples
▶ Status and error messages
▶ General information regarding the wiring (cables and line cross-sections)
This manual has the following demands on the trained staff of machine manufacturers:
Transport: only by skilled employees familiar with handling electrostatically sensitive compo-
nents.
Installation: only by experts with electromechanical experience
Initial operation: only by experts with experience in the fields of electrical engineering / drive technol-
ogy
Note
Information concerning the initial operation and parameterization of the digital drive am-
plifier can be found in the manual of the software drivemaster4.
