The Modular Drive System (MDS) is a powerful and cost effective solution for applications with multiple axes. The MDS utilizes a unique backplane architecture that provides a common bus platform for one of three sizes of power modules* and up to eight drive modules. Plus, there are five different sizes of drive modules to meet the needs of almost any multiple axis application. FM control modules provide EN drives with “snap-in” functionality for indexing (FM-2), programming (FM-3E) and advanced programming (FM-4E).
This modular approach allows users to choose the level of advanced machine control they need based on the application's requirements. Whether the drives are utilized in base drive only applications or with a closed loop controller, setup can be achieved in just minutes with our Windows™-based PowerTools Pro software. The MDS series comes in 230V and 460V models.
* The power modules come in three models with the following product numbers and power ratings:
MP-1250 (12500 watts); MP-2500 (25000 watts) and the MP-5000 (50000 watts).
