B-65232EN/03 FANUC AC SERVO AMPLIFIER β series 1.OVERVIEW
- 113 -
1 OVERVIEW
The main features of servo amplifier β series are as follows:
Features not dependent on the interface
(1) The servo amplifier β series is integrated with a power supply
unit, so that a compact system can be implemented for one or
two axes.
(2) The servo amplifier β series offers low-cost one-axis AC servo
amplifiers.
(3) The servo amplifier β series offers models that support not only
the FANUC standard interface, namely, the FSSB interface, but
also the I/O Link interface available with the CNC, Power Mate,
and PLC, and the conventional interface, namely, the PWM
interface (type B).
(4) The dimensions of each amplifier are the same even if a different
interface is employed.
(5) The servo amplifier β series offers a compact unit with its
amounting space and cubic volume reduced by about 50% when
compared with α SVU.
(6) The amplifier unit has been designed to conform to the European
VDE0160 safety standard, American UL standards, and
Canadian CSA standards.
The servo amplifier β series with the FSSB interface has the
following features:
(1) The servo amplifier β series with the FSSB interface offers one-
axis AC servo amplifiers that are designed for feed axes and are
used to drive the servo motor β series suitable for positioning
and the servo motor αi series suitable for use with feed axes.
The servo amplifier β series with the I/O Link interface has the
following features in addition to "Features not dependent on the
interface":
(1) Offer one-axis AC servo amplifiers suitable for use with
positioning axes, and used to drive the servo motor β series and
servo motor αi series.
(2) Have a position control function as well as a set to facilitate
control over peripheral devices such as turrets and ATCs.
(3) Can be connected to the Series 16/18/21/15i/16i/18i/20i/21i,
Power Mate, Power Mate i PMC, and PLC via the I/O Link,
thereby facilitating positioning axis expansion.
(4) Enable the master CNC to set and display parameters, the current
position, and diagnosis data.
(5) Support move commands that make movement synchronize with
a train of external pulses, thereby enabling diverse use.
