ACP-090-18
The Copley Controls ACP-090-18 drive, part of the Accelnet CanOPEN Modules series by Copley Controls, is a compact digital servo amplifier designed for precise control of both brush and brushless motors. This PCB-mount unit offers a Peak Current: 18 A (12.7 ARMS) and a Continuous Current: 6 A (4.2 ARMS), with a Max Supply Voltage: 90 Vdc. Its primary function is to act as a three-phase MOSFET inverter with digital control loops, providing high-performance current, velocity, and position management in demanding industrial automation applications.
Featuring advanced technical specifications, the ACP-090-18 utilizes a 3-phase MOSFET, 15 kHz PWM inverter topology and supports Digital Control Loops: Current / Velocity / Position for exceptional dynamic response. Communication is handled via the CANopen protocol with support for CANopen Communication Profiles: Profile Position / Velocity / Torque, making it ideal for distributed drive architectures. The amplifier measures 168 x 99 x 31 mm, weighs 0.43 kg (0.94 lb), and exhibits an Output Resistance: 0.075 Ω, ensuring minimal power loss. Integrated protections cover over-voltage, under-voltage, short-circuit, and over-temperature conditions to safeguard both the drive and the motor.
Built for industrial environments, the ACP-090-18 operates reliably from 0°C to +45°C and can be stored between -40°C to +85°C, reflecting its durability under temperature extremes. Its isolated DC power input requires proper earthing and a diode between the supply and amplifier for safe operation. A single bi-color LED and three programmable logic outputs provide clear fault signaling, while five general-purpose inputs (24 Vdc max) allow flexible system integration. The amplifier is CE Certified, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. By combining robust protection, precise control, and efficient power conversion, the ACP-090-18 enhances productivity and reliability in industrial automation systems.
