Description
Aerotech NDRIVECP30-S compact high-precision servo drive
Overview
Aerotech NDRIVECP30-S is a high-performance compact servo drive in the NDrive series produced by Aerotech. Aerotech is a globally leading manufacturer of ultra-precision motion control systems, renowned for its nanometer-level positioning accuracy and outstanding dynamic performance. This driver is specifically designed for application scenarios with limited space and extremely high requirements for motion control performance, integrating powerful driving capabilities into an ultra-compact package.
The core function of NDRIVECP30-S is to receive command signals from upper-level controllers (such as motion control cards, PLCS) and drive the servo motors (usually high-precision motors from Aerotech itself or other brands) that are matched with it to perform precise motion control, achieving precise positioning and trajectory control at high speed and high acceleration.
Core features and advantages
Ultra-precise performance and high-bandwidth control
◦ Nanometer-level precision: Thanks to Aerotech’s technological accumulation in the field of ultra-precision, this driver adopts advanced control algorithms to achieve extremely high position and speed control accuracy, meeting the most demanding application requirements.
◦ Extremely high bandwidth: With very high current loop and speed loop bandwidths, it ensures extremely fast dynamic response and minimal tracking error, maintaining stability and accuracy even under high-speed and high-acceleration movements.
2. Compact design and high power density
◦ Compact size: The “CP” label usually stands for “Compact” or “Control Panel”, indicating that its design aims to maximize the saving of control cabinet space and is highly suitable for OEM equipment integration.
◦ High power output: It provides powerful driving capability within a compact volume. The “30” in the model number likely indicates that its peak output current is approximately 30A, capable of driving a medium-sized servo motor to generate a huge instantaneous torque.
3. Advanced inhibition technology and smooth movement
◦ Vibration suppression technology: Typically integrated with Aerotech ‘s patented Notch Filter and Low-Pass Filter, it can effectively suppress mechanical resonance, reduce system vibration, thereby achieving smoother motion and higher settling accuracy.

NDRIVECP30-S
◦ Automatic tuning: Advanced automatic and manual tuning tools are provided to quickly optimize servo gain, match load characteristics, and maximize system performance.
4. Rich feedback interfaces and multi-functionality
It supports a variety of high-resolution feedback devices, including absolute encoder protocols such as sinusoidal encoder (1Vpp), EnDat 2.2, BISS-C, HIPERFACE DSL, etc., providing high-precision position information for closed-loop control.
It provides analog (±10V) command input and pulse/direction command input modes, and is compatible with multiple control systems.
5. Comprehensive protection and monitoring functions
It is equipped with comprehensive protection functions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overheating, overtravel and feedback error, ensuring the safety of the motor and driver.
Supports real-time monitoring and diagnosis through Aerotech’s Automation3200 software, facilitating debugging and troubleshooting.
