Introduction 2-1MN19022.1 FlexDriveII featuresThroughout this manual, both the FlexDriveII and the Flex+DriveII will be referred to simply asFlexDriveII . Where there is a difference in specification it will be clearly marked.The FlexDriveII is a versatile compact control, providing a flexible and powerful solution forsingle axis rotary systems. Standard features include:H Single axis AC brushless driveH Wide range of models with continuous current ratings from 2.5A to 27.5AH Direct connection to 115VAC or 230VAC single-phase or 230-460VAC three-phasesupplies (model dependent)H Resolver or encoder feedbackH Velocity and current control, with pulse and direction input for position controlH Auto-tuning wizard (including position loop) and software oscilloscope facilitiesH 8 optically isolated digital inputsH 3 optically isolated digital outputsH 1 general-purpose analog input (can be used as a speed or torque command reference)H 1 control relayH Selectable RS232 or RS485 communicationsFlex+DriveII only:H Integrated motion controller for rotary and linear positioning systemsH Programmable in MintH Up to 16 programmable preset moves (expandable to 256 with factory-fitted CAN and I/Ooption)H Position control using preset moves, software gearing and point to point movesH Flash memory for program storage (64k).H Motion controller for rotary and linear positioning systemsFactory-fitted options expand the I/O capabilities of the FlexDriveII and provide CANopen,DeviceNet or Profibus connectivity. See Appendix A for details about options. FlexDriveII willoperate with a large number of brushless servo motors - for information on selecting Baldorservo motors, please see the sales brochure BR1202 (BR1800 for linear motors) availablefrom your local Baldor representative.This manual is intended to guide you through the installation of FlexDriveII. The sectionsshould be read in sequence.The Basic Installation section describes the mechanical installation of the FlexDriveII, thepower supply connections and motor connections. The other sections require knowledge ofthe low level input/output requirements of the installation and an understanding of computersoftware installation. If you are not qualified in these areas you should seek assistance beforeproceeding.2 Introduction 2
