12 VIX AE SERVO DRIVE USER GUIDE

Power Supply Options
Using the previous section, estimate the power required for a single drive or for a group of
drives. A set of torque curves (Figure 3-2) for various motor/drive combinations can be used
for calculating an applications likely power requirements.
A single axis using a ViX250, or possibly a lightly loaded dual-axis application may be
powered using an XL-PSU. This switching supply has a power rating of 250W and can
supply 3.1A continuous (7.5A peak, depending on supply volts and 24V loading) which could
be used for BE230D medium speed applications.
Higher torque/current requirements will need to use the ViX500 drive and a high current
linear power supply, such as the PL1100. Further power supply information is given in
Appendix A.
