Introduction Ndrive HPe 50/75/100
Chapter 1: Introduction
Aerotech’s Ndrive HPe 50/75/100 (High Power PWM) network digital drive is a high performance amplifier.
The drive provides deterministic behavior, auto-identification, and easy software setup. The Ndrive HPe
50/75/100’s high performance double precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID and current loops.
All system configuration is done using software-settable parameters, including control loop gains and
system safety functions.
The Ndrive HPe 50/75/100 is offered with an optional encoder interpolation feature (-MXH), an auxiliary
square wave encoder input for dual loop control, dedicated analog and digital I/O (expandable with the -IO
option), a resolver input (-RDP option), and separate power connections for motor and control supply
voltages.
