The freely-programmable, intelligent ViX servo drive delivers high levels of functionality and flexibility in programmable motion control. With outputs in the 250-500 VA power range, ViX uses field-oriented digital control technology, to give enhanced dynamic performance with improved efficiency. The base version of the drive can be controlled by step-direction signals in addition to an analog velocity or torque demand.

The ViX series servo drive is produced in two versions having continuous current ratings of 2.5 A and 5 A at motor bus voltages up to 80VDC. A peak current capability of three times the continuous rating provides an outstanding acceleration performance. The device offers the choice of either resolver or encoder feedback (user selectable). To assist with initial commissioning, the drive can correct most motor and feedback wiring errors automatically.
