Product Overview

Overview	The Lin+Drive product is designed to serve the needs of machine designers and
	manufacturers. Baldor products have both UL and CE approvals. The Lin+Drive
	is a “flexible” versatile compact control for linear brushless motors. This digital
	servo control can be tailored to suit many applications. It can accept 0–10VDC
	input, standard ± 10VDC input, current loop input or 15 preset point to point moves.
	Some options are CAN bus interface, internal or external regen, or with customer
	provided 24VDC to maintain logic power.
	The Lin+Drive can be integrated with Baldors’ motion controllers or to any industry
	standard motion controller.
Motors	Baldor servo controls are compatible with many motors from Baldor and other
	manufacturers. Motor parameters are provided with the PC software making the
	setup easy. Baldor compatible motors include:
	S	LMBL Series
	S	LMCF Series

Contact your local Baldor distributor or sales representative for assistance with motor sizing and compatibility. Custom motors or motors not manufactured by Baldor may be used. Please contact your local Baldor distributor or sales representative for assistance.

Command Source

In the analog mode (current or velocity), the control requires a variable 0-10VDC or ± 10VDC external analog signal. Suitable sources can be a PLC or motion controller.

Positioning Mode

In the positioning mode, up to 15 preset repeatable positions (moves) may be defined in software. These moves may either be incremental, absolute or mixed. A specific “preset” position is selected using the switch inputs (machine inputs 1–4) and a “trigger” input activates the move. A home position could also be set if desired.

Serial Communications Interface

A serial port allows external communication. This means that the Lin+Drive can interface to a PC (for configuration and control) or to other user–supplied equipment such as:

SHost computers

SPLC’s

SPC’s

SMotion controllers

The serial communication interface supports:

SRS232 and the four wire RS–485 communication standards

SBaud rate: 9600
