Working Principle
The S72401-NAS receives three-phase AC power from the mains, rectifies it to a DC bus voltage, and drives the connected servo motor through its IGBT power stage using high-frequency PWM. The drive continuously reads feedback from the motor’s encoder or resolver and executes closed-loop current, velocity, and position control algorithms. The onboard CANopen and EtherCAT interfaces enable real-time communication with the host controller for coordinated multi-axis motion.
