VSD-E/XE drive is a versatile servo drive from Granite Devices. In favor of ARGON and IONI servo drives, VSD-E series became discontinued. Regardless of being discontinued in production, it is still being supported and repair & spare service is available.

Applications[edit | edit source]
Motion control[edit | edit source]
- Robotics
- CNC
- Pick'n'place
- Precise speed,torque or position control
- Actuators
- 3D printers
Other uses[edit | edit source]
VSD-E series has been successfully used also in non-motion related applications mainly in torque mode (a.k.a. current control mode). In these applications a LC filter has been used after drive to smoothen out the PWM output.
- High power LED driver with dimming (up to 160 VDC led strings)
- High power thermoelectric cooling driver
Key features[edit | edit source]
Single axis a.k.a Evolution mode[edit | edit source]
Simplified VSD drive block diagram in position control mode.
List of key features:
- Easy setup via GDtool software
- SimpleMotion control library for PC, C/C++/C#, LabVIEW etc
- Various low level command inputs (pulse/dir, PWM, quadrature, ±10V)
- Easy connection to fieldbuses like EtherCAT or CANopen (more info)
- Most AC/BLDC/DC and linear servo motors supported
- Advanced sinusoidal field oriented control (FOC)
- True current control protects equipment and boosts responsiveness
- Reliability guaranteed by wide safety margins and quality components
- Electrical & mechanical braking of motor in faults & disable
- Fully automatic internal homing controller
- Optimized for CNC and machine automation
- Robust 200V 60A MOSFET power stage
- Panel installation, 19" rack compatible.
- Regenerative brake resistor output
- Hard to kill: short circuit, over current, over temperature, I²t, over voltage and under voltage protections
- Advanced positioning with acceleration limit and smoothing

DualDC mode[edit | edit source]
A special feature of VSD-E/XE is that it can control two independent brush DC servo motors on single drive. This mode is achieved by downloading a freely available DualDC firmware to the drive. DualDC mode has several restrictions compared to single axis mode due to hardware limitations.
Purchasing[edit | edit source]
Before purchase[edit | edit source]
Before purchasing the drive, it is suggested to:
- Ensure product suitability for your needs:
- See VSD-E/XE PDF manual chapter 13 for supported motor and feedback device types
- Check if a compatible setpoint signal is available from your controller
- Read through the drive manual to understand the product and requirements better
- Make clear what additional items will be needed, such as power supplies and possibly interface electronics
- If unsure about suitability, please send inquiry to Granite Devices support to be sure
