Check the overall appearance. Check for damage or scratches that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is noted, or if the unit is the wrong type, contact your ElectroCraft sales representative immediately. Your CPP-A12V80A-SA-CAN has arrived carefully packaged from ElectroCraft, in an antistatic bag. As you unseal this bag, inspect the contents carefully.
Product Overview This manual describes the installation and operation of the CPP-A12V80A-SA-CAN digital servo-amplifier manufactured by ElectroCraft Inc. Key Features Features of CPP-A12V80A-SA-CAN drive: • +12 to +80 VDC power supply input. • 12 Amps Continuous, 30 Amps Peak (2 seconds).
The drive does not have any temperature or output PWM frequency derating in the ambient temperature range of 0 to 40°C when mounted according to ElectroCraft recommendations as specified in section 5.1. Operating the drive outside ElectroCraft recommendations or in a closed box and stagnant air may limit maximum performance.
Dynamically assigned at power up over the CAN bus. As shipped from the factory, standard ElectroCraft drives are configured with the hardware CAN address switch set to 0 and a software AXIS-ID of 0. This is a null AXIS-ID and means the drive will not respond to any Axis Messages until either a non-zero AXIS-ID is set per one of the above methods.
First Time Operation To get started, proceed as follows: 1. Install ElectroCraft CompletePower Plus Universal Drive Configuration Tool onto user PC and open the software window. 2. Connect I/O, motor phase and feedback wires to the drive. Make sure the Enable switch is in the OFF position.
For properly sizing the resistor, a complex calculation requiring detailed information about the application and load is needed. This data is often not known or difficult to obtain, so ElectroCraft has provided the following guideline as a starting point which has proven sufficient in the majority of applications. If further support is needed or this recommendation does not provide the required performance, please contact ElectroCraft.
On voltage (set in the configuration software). ElectroCraft recommends connecting a capacitor of 100 μF per each ampere deceleration current across J1 pin 1 and pin 2 as shown in section 13.5. For example, the application given in section 13.3.2 has a deceleration current of 12 A, so it will need a 1200 μF capacitor.
