Aries Products—Overview The Aries drives are a family of super compact, super efficient digital servo
drives. Their maximum continuous shaft power ranges from 100 Watts to
3000 Watts (3kW). Ready for direct panel mounting, you can select the
precise power level needed for your application.
Aries Product Descriptions
Aries Servo Drives can control the torque, velocity, and position of servo
motors using a digital current loop. Control of Aries Drives is performed using
controllers, which have standard ±10V torque command, ±10V velocity
command, or 5V TTL step & direction interface.
For Aries drives using the analog or step and direction command interface,
configure the drives through RS-232/485 using the Aries Support Tool on a
personal computer (PC), or other standard communication software. For
Aries drives using the Ethernet Powerlink command interface, configure the
drives through Ethernet using the ACR-View software on a PC. Many
advanced features are standard on the product including “plug and play”
capabilities with Aries-compatible motors.
