LS-182CM is an enhanced version of the standard LS-182 Servo Drive, augmented with special features for supporting the coordinated motion of several motors. LS-182CM is a single-axis motion controller with integrated servo amplifier designed for applications using Panasonic A and S series motors, standard brushless motors and brush-commutated motors up to 1 HP. Trapezoidal brushless motor commutation is performed automatically if hall sensors are connected to the unit. Up to 31 intelligent servo drives can be controlled over a multi-drop full duplex RS-485 network in a distributed motion control environment. Standard RJ-45 connectors and commercially available cables are used for daisy chaining of the modules. LS-182CM is equipped with various safety features such as short circuit protection for the motor and amplifier, over travel switch inputs, hardware stop input, over/under voltage shutdown and encoder presence control. The maximum motor output current can be limited by setting of dip switches or by software.
