Kollmorgen S60301-1YA

Product Overview The S60301-1YA is a digital servo amplifier from Kollmorgen’s SERVOSTAR 600 series, representing the previous generation of high-performance servo drives before the AKD series. This drive operates from 230 VAC three-phase power input and delivers 3 Amps continuous output current. It features analog command interface with standard I/O configuration. The SERVOSTAR 600 series was widely used in industrial automation throughout the 2000s and remains in service in many legacy systems. The “1YA” suffix indicates a specific configuration variant with standard analog interface and particular I/O arrangement.

Performance Parameters The SERVOSTAR 600 series achieves a speed loop bandwidth of 500 Hz, providing good dynamic response for most industrial applications. The current loop bandwidth is 2 kHz, ensuring smooth torque delivery. The 10 kHz PWM frequency provides acceptable current waveform quality with moderate motor audible noise. Position loop update rate is 250 microseconds. The drive supports velocity feedforward and acceleration feedforward for improved tracking during contouring. Following error can be monitored via analog output for diagnostic purposes.

Material Composition The drive enclosure is constructed from steel with a baked enamel finish. Power semiconductors are discrete IGBT modules mounted on aluminum oxide ceramic insulators. The control board uses through-hole components on a double-sided PCB. DC bus capacitors are large-can electrolytic types with screw terminals. The heat sink is a cast aluminum extrusion with vertical fins. Front panel is molded plastic with LED lenses and connector cutouts. Internal wiring uses crimp terminal connections to terminal blocks.

Structural Characteristics The drive features a vertical book-mount design with power terminals at the top and control connectors at the bottom. The front panel is angled for easy viewing when mounted in a cabinet. A removable cover provides access to configuration jumpers and potentiometers. The heat sink forms the rear surface of the enclosure, designed for natural convection cooling. A thermostatically controlled cooling fan is included for high-duty-cycle operation. The base includes mounting slots for panel attachment.

Working Principle Three-phase 230 VAC input is rectified by a diode bridge to create a 325 VDC bus. The IGBT H-bridge inverter generates variable-frequency three-phase output. The control board uses a dedicated motion control DSP running the servo control algorithms. Analog command input is converted to digital by a 12-bit A/D converter. Motor current is sensed by Hall effect current sensors in each output phase. The velocity loop compares commanded velocity (from analog input or derived from step frequency) against actual velocity from encoder feedback. The torque loop controls motor current to achieve commanded torque. Protection circuits monitor bus voltage, output current, and heatsink temperature.
