The PowerFlex 40P AC drive provides closed-loop control and category 3 safe-off functionality. It features encoder or pulse train input, allowing configured closed-loop control for improved speed regulation, basic position control or other pulse inputs for motor control. With the use of the StepLogic function, the PowerFlex 40P AC drive can act as an independent position controller for simple time, digital input or communications-based index positioning applications, eliminating the need for a separate position controller.

Co.'s next generation drive system has a complete drive, motion and logic control mounted directly on the motor. Its new electronic control, IndraDrive Mi, is flush onto the motor, using the motor casing surface as the heat sink, reducing total build space required by 50 percent compared to traditional servo drives. The IndraDrive Mi also reduces wiring costs by using a single cable to carry power and SERCOS communications. Instead of two cables running from the control cabinet for each axis, only one cable is needed.
