Epsilon EP Drive

The Epsilon EP drive is a stand-alone, fully digital brushless servo drive designed and built to reliably provide high
performance and flexibility without sacrificing ease of use.
The use of State-Space algorithms make tuning very simple and forgiving. The drives are designed to operate with up to a
10:1 inertia mismatch right out of the box. Higher (50:1 and more) inertial mismatches are possible with two simple parameter
settings.
The Epsilon EP drive can be quickly configured to many applications in less than 5 minutes with PowerTools Pro software on
a PC running Windows® 98, 2000, XP (32-bit) or Vista (32-bit).
Complete diagnostics are provided for quick troubleshooting. A diagnostic display on the front of the drive informs the user of
the operational or fault status. The last 10 faults are stored in non-volatile memory along with a time stamp for easy recall.
