DZE / DZS
DigiFlex® Performance™, EtherCAT®, Z-Drives (plug-in)
Experience the advantage of both plug-in integration and DigiFlex® Performance™ in one solution.
The DZE / DZS series is part of the Z-Drives family of plug-in servo drives, and supports ADVANCED Motion Controls exclusive ‘DxM’ (Demultiplexed Motion) technology which allows connectivity of up to 3 DZS drives (sub-nodes) to a single DZE (node) on an EtherCAT® network, allowing control of up to 4 axes of servo motion. DZE drives can also be used as a stand-alone EtherCAT node in a single-axis setup or as part of a larger multi-axis EtherCAT network. DZS drives must be used as sub-nodes in a 'DxM' configuration with a DZE node.
ADVANCED Motion Controls' DZE and DZS plug-in module servo drives have been selected as winners in Design News' annual Golden Mousetrap Awards in recognition of our engineering innovation and creativity in product design!

Universal Feedback |
|
These drives support either 5V incremental encoder, 1Vp-p Sine/Cosine encoder, or Absolute encoder (Stegmann Hiperface® or Heidenhain EnDat®) firmware-defined feedback. For 5V incremental encoder or 1Vp-p Sine/Cosine encoder, Hall sensors are recommended for initial commutation, but are not required. These drives can be configured to run without Halls by using "Phase Detect" on startup (Wake & Shake). Absolute position feedback eliminates the need for a homing routine on drive power-up. There is also no need for Hall Sensors for commutation when using this type of feedback. DZE/DZS mounting cards can be found here. DZE-series drives now support Indexing and Jogging commands using the Motion Engine feature in DriveWare® 7. |

*DZS drives connect as sub-nodes using ADVANCED Motion Controls 'DxM' technology to a DZE node on an EtherCAT network.
The DZEANTU/DZSANTU-series is part of our DigiFlex® Performance™ family. Please see our DigiFlex® Performance™ page to see all options. |

Network |
EtherCAT® - For drive communication and control. 'DxM' Technology - ADVANCED Motion Controls exclusive ‘DxM’ technology requires only one EtherCAT network connection with the DZE drive as the node but allows connectivity for up to an additional 3 sub-node axes (DZS drives). Demultiplexed Motion technology provides the same performance but at a lower cost for up to 4 axes of servo drive control from a single EtherCAT connection. |
Setup |
USB - For setup configuration with DriveWare® 7 software. |
Motors |
All models compatible with - Brushless, Brushed, Linear, Rotary, Voice Coil, Inductive Load, Closed Loop Vector (AC Induction). |
Feedback |
TTL Encoder - 5V incremental encoder feedback. Encoders are used for velocity and position mode feedback as well as sinusoidal commutation for brushless motors. Absolute - Compatible with Stegmann Hiperface® and Heidenhain EnDat® (2.1). For increased accuracy, the drive interpolates the 1 Vp-p Sin/Cos signals from the encoder into individual reference points (counts). For example using a feedback system with 1024 Sin/Cos periods per turn and the interpolation set to 2048 results in a resolution of over 2 million counts/revolution. Sine - 1Vpp sin/cos encoder. Hall sensors recommended for initial commutation. For increased accuracy, the drive interpolates the 1 Vp-p Sin/Cos signals from the encoder into individual reference points (counts). For example using a feedback system with 1024 Sin/Cos periods per turn and the interpolation set to 2048 results in a resolution of over 2 million counts/revolution. Hall Sensors - Recommended for commutation of 3Φ brushless motors. Can be used for velocity feedback in Hall Velocity Mode. Configurable for 120° and 60° Hall spacing. |

DC Voltage Range - 18 - 80 VDC |
Command Source(s) |
EtherCAT - An open protocol for distributed automation and motion control. Distributed control reduces network bus traffic by giving the drives more intelligence. Drives can be preconfigured to respond to commands with specific move profiles. Therefore fewer messages need to be sent and more drives can operate on the network. +/-10V - Drives accept single ended and differential signals. Encoder Following (Electronic Gearing) - 'Slave' one system off of another. Indexing - Create up to 16 absolute or relative index motion profiles. Jogging - Command forward or reverse velocities at a defined speed. |
I/O |
Events and Signals - Analog and Digital I/O can be configured for over 60 events and signals. Analog - See individual drive specification for resolution and quantity. Digital (TTL) - See individual drive specifications for quantity. |
Mode |
Profile Modes - In Profile Modes (Current, Velocity, or Position) the trajectory is limited by the drive by limiting the maximum command rate. If the host sends a large command step, the drive spreads the demand over a period of time to stay equal to or below the maximum defined rate. Cyclic Synchronous Modes - In Cyclic Synchronous Modes (Current, Velocity, or Position) the responsibility of trajectory control is given to the host. The drive interpolates between command points, defining the rate by dividing the change in command by the interpolation time period, allowing the drive to respond smoothly to each step in motion. |
