Description
Product Overview
Product Name: Servo Drive / Servo Controller Module
Model Number: PCI001-513
Manufacturer: Baldor Electric Company (now part of ABB Group)
Product Line: Baldor NextGen PCI Series (Programmable Control Interface)
The BALDOR PCI001-513 is a high-performance, single-axis servo drive module designed for integration into multi-axis motion control systems. It is part of Baldor’s NextGen PCI series, which is characterized by its modular, rack-based architecture. This specific module slots into a central rack (e.g., a BASR-5 or similar) that houses a shared power supply and a central motion controller.
The primary function of the PCI001-513 is to take high-level motion commands (e.g., torque, velocity, or position) from the central controller via a high-speed backplane network and translate them into the precise high-power AC waveforms required to drive a brushless servo motor. It also handles real-time feedback from the motor’s encoder or resolver to close the control loop.
Key Features
- Modular Design: Allows for the creation of compact, centralized multi-axis control systems by housing multiple drive axes in a single rack.
- High-Performance Control: Supports full servo control modes, including Torque, Velocity, and Position, with advanced tuning capabilities for high dynamic response.
- Integrated Safety: Typically includes built-in safety features such as Safe Torque Off (STO) or other safety functions to meet relevant standards.
- High-Speed Backplane Communication: Utilizes a proprietary deterministic network (Baldor’s PCI bus) for ultra-fast, synchronized communication with the central controller and other drive modules in the rack.
- Comprehensive Feedback Support: Compatible with a wide range of feedback devices, including high-resolution encoders, resolvers, and absolute encoders.
- Advanced Tuning & Diagnostics: Features sophisticated auto-tuning algorithms and extensive diagnostic tools accessible through Baldor’s software (Mint WorkBench).

System Architecture & Compatibility
The PCI001-513 is not a standalone drive. It operates within a Baldor NextGen PCI multi-axis system, which consists of:
- A Central Rack: (e.g., BASR-5) that provides mounting slots, a shared 3-phase power input, and a common DC bus.
- A Central Controller: (e.g., a BCI-5xx series card) that performs all motion programming, trajectory planning, and I/O handling, communicating with the drive modules over the PCI backplane.
- One or More Drive Modules: Like the PCI001-513, which act as intelligent power amplifiers.
- Baldor Servo Motors: The drive is optimized to work with Baldor’s family of brushless AC servo motors.
Typical Applications
This drive is used in high-performance, multi-axis automation machinery requiring precise coordination, such as:
- Packaging Machinery: Form-fill-seal machines, cartoning machines.
- Printing & Converting: Web presses, cut-to-length systems, rotary die cutters.
- Material Handling: Robotic pick-and-place systems, indexing conveyors.
- Machine Tool: CNC milling machines, lathes (for auxiliary axes).
- Assembly Automation: Precision assembly stations, testing equipment.
Important Notes
- System Component: This module cannot operate alone. It is completely dependent on the central PCI rack and controller for power, command, and configuration.
- Configuration Software: Configuration, tuning, and programming are performed using Baldor’s Mint WorkBench software suite.
- Obsolescence: The Baldor NextGen PCI product line is a legacy system. While highly capable and still in widespread use, support and replacement parts may increasingly come from the third-party market.
- Safety: Installation, commissioning, and maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel familiar with Baldor/ABB drives and high-voltage electrical systems. Always follow local lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures.
