Engineered as a dual-axis power core for low-to-mid power applications, this module transcends conventional servo drives by unifying stepper and servo control, dynamic voltage resilience, and embedded intelligence within a footprint under 50 cm² per axis. It represents B&R’s commitment to redefining motion control efficiency for tomorrow’s smart machines.

Architectural Innovations & Core Technologies

1. Adaptive Power Architecture

• Wide Voltage Operation: Supports 18–95 VDC input, enabling deployment in unstable grid environments while tolerating regenerative surges up to 95 VDC during braking.

• Hybrid Output Stage: Unified circuitry drives both two-phase stepper motors (10 A continuous/15 A peak) and servo motors (8 A continuous/15 A peak) without hardware reconfiguration.

• Integrated Energy Recovery: Unlike traditional drives wasting brake energy as heat, it channels regenerative power back to the DC bus, reducing external cooling demands by 40%.

2. Cyber-Physical Control System

• Embedded I/O & Safety: Features 4 high-speed digital inputs (5 μs response) and 2x 24 VDC outputs (0.5 A) for direct brake control or peripheral device management. Integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) meets SIL 3/PL e standards.

• Real-Time Communication: Leverages POWERLINK over Ethernet for deterministic axis synchronization (<400 μs cycle times), enabling multi-axis coordination without centralized controllers.

• Self-Monitoring Intelligence: Continuously tracks thermal load, current ripple, and insulation degradation, issuing predictive alerts via OPC UA or MQTT protocols.

3. Ultra-Compact Mechanical Design

• Space Optimization: At <50 cm² per axis, it achieves 60% higher power density than comparable drives, critical for multi-axis systems like robotic joints or PCB assembly arms.

• Modular Cooling: Supports conduction cooling (0.08°C/W) for sealed enclosures or forced air for high-temperature environments, eliminating external heatsinks.

• Mobile AGV Drivetrains: Regenerative braking recaptures 35% of kinetic energy during stops, extending battery life by 20%.

2. Precision Manufacturing

• Semiconductor Wire Bonders: Dual-axis synchronization maintains ±5 μm positioning accuracy while EMI-optimized switching prevents interference with nanoscale sensors.

• Pharmaceutical Dispensing: Adaptive microstepping (up to 256x) enables smooth fluid handling at 0.1 μl resolution, with embedded I/O triggering pumps/valves directly.

3. Sustainable Packaging

• Servo-Driven Fillers: Reduces energy consumption by 25% versus asynchronous motors, with POWERLINK synchronizing 20+ axes on one network.

• Flexible Format Changeovers: Software-switches between servo (high-speed) and stepper (high-torque) modes in <100 ms for rapid product resizing.

Competitive Differentiation

Ecosystem Integration & Engineering Efficiency

• Automation Studio Unified Environment: Configures motion logic, safety parameters, and I/O mapping in one platform. Simulates thermal/electrical loads before deployment.

• Multi-Protocol Connectivity: Native support for POWERLINK, CANopen, and EtherNet/IP enables seamless integration into Siemens, Rockwell, or B&R control architectures.

• Scalable Deployment: From single-axis conveyors to 50-axis printing presses—modules daisy-chain via DC bus sharing, eliminating redundant power supplies.

Conclusion: The Compact Power Nexus for Agile Automation
