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
How to purchase[edit | edit source]
VSD series is discontinued and not available anymore. Large quantities can be negotiated separately.
