ControlEng Releases Servo Sizing Software
ServoSoft v2.3 Servo Sizing Software has CAM Profiles, Sequence Templates and Thermal Overload Models. CAM profiles help users optimize motion profiles. Sequence Templates make it easy to define a sequence for Rotary Knives, Flying Shears and Cut to Length applications. The overload monitoring models are used to ensure Infeed Modules, Inverters and Motors do not overheat when in an overload condition for a prolonged duration.

CAM profiles help users optimize motion profiles to minimize peak power, improve energy efficiency, or select the optimum jerk for the smoothest profiles to minimize backlash effects. Sequence Templates make it easy to define a sequence for Rotary Knives, Flying Shears and Cut to Length applications. Enter a few parameters, and ServoSoft generates the entire sequence.The Pxt, Ixt and I2t overload monitoring models are used to ensure Infeed Modules, Inverters and Motors do not overheat when in an overload condition for a prolonged duration. The continuous power and rms current and torque values cover most conditions.

However, if the cycle time is very long, the rms and average values can be minimized. The Overload Monitoring accounts for this situation, by applying an exponentially weighted time factor to the overload value.

About ServoSoft

ServoSoft helps motion control engineers design better products in less time. Size complete systems, not just a motor and inverter, but all components of a servo system including the infeed, capacitor and bleeder modules, inverters, rotary and linear motors, drives, gearboxes, cables, breakers and filters. ServoSoft models the simplest and most complex servo system designs, from motion profile and mechanical performance to power flow throughout the entire electrical and mechanical system. Reduce your design time cycle, all the while making better cost and energy efficient designs. ServoSoft is ideal for rapid prototyping, energy efficiency analysis and design optimization.
