Compatible With Battery Power

A wide range of power supply voltage specifications are available for use with battery power supply. 24 VDC and 48 VDC are supported. The following shows the range of allowable operating voltages.

When used with 24 VDC
- *For electromagnetic brake motors, the voltage range is 22.8 to 32 VDC.
When Used With 48 VDC

Optimal Current Control Saves Energy

The servo emulation mode optimizes the current supplied to the motor according to the load conditions.

Visualization of Power Supply Voltage

The power supply voltage of the driver can be monitored from a host control device.
If the driver power supply voltage drops below a pre-set threshold, a signal is output.

Applications

Incorporation Into Self-Propelled Devices

Equipment Problem	Battery operation time must be maximized.
Solution With mini Driver	Reduce the Overall Equipment Mass Reduce Motor Power Consumption When Large Amounts of Torque aren't Required

Lightweight Design Reduces Equipment Burden

By reducing the overall equipment mass, the power consumption for the wheel drive shafts can be reduced.

*The mass is 84~110 g except for AZD-KR2D.

Incorporation into Stationary Equipment

Equipment Problem	Install the driver and control systems in separate locations to reduce overall equipment size.
Solution With mini Driver	Compact Drivers Can be Installed in Any Empty Space Extension of Up to 10 m are Available With a Connection Cable Even if the Distance Between the Motor and Driver is Far
