Kollmorgen SERVOSTAR 610-AS

Customer Value & Operational Benefits

• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Wafer positioning systems require ±0.001% position accuracy to avoid damaging delicate components;
• Robotics: Robotic arms rely on precise speed and torque control to handle fragile items (e.g., glass bottles).

Field Engineer’s Notes (From the Trenches)

When installing the SERVOSTAR 614-AS, always use shielded cables​ for motor connections—unshielded cables can pick up electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby power lines, leading to erratic motor behavior. I once saw a site where a contractor used unshielded cables, resulting in a “motor overcurrent” fault that took 2 hours to diagnose.

Another gotcha: verify the motor polarity—the drive’s output terminals must be connected to the motor’s phases in the correct order (A, B, C). I’ve fixed countless “motor not turning” issues by reversing the phase connections.

If the drive’s “FAULT” LED is red, check the over-temperature protection—the drive will shut down if its internal temperature exceeds 50°C. Use a thermal camera to check for hot spots, and ensure the control cabinet has adequate ventilation.

Real-World Applications

• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Wafer Positioning​
  A semiconductor fab uses the SERVOSTAR 614-AS to drive brushless motors in its wafer positioning system. The drive’s high precision (±0.001% position accuracy) ensures that wafers are aligned correctly for photolithography, reducing yield loss by 15%.
• Packaging: Bottle Filling Lines​
  A beverage company uses the SERVOSTAR 614-AS to control the speed of bottle filling machines. The drive’s real-time EtherCAT communication enables the PLC to adjust the filling speed dynamically, reducing product waste by 10%.
• Robotics: Material Handling​
  A logistics company uses the SERVOSTAR 614-AS to drive robotic arms for material handling. The drive’s high torque (28A peak current) allows the robot to lift heavy boxes (up to 50 kg) with ease, improving throughput by 20%.

High-Frequency Troubleshooting FAQ

• Over-Temperature: The drive’s internal temperature exceeds 50°C (check ventilation);
• Over-Current: The motor is drawing more than 14A (check for mechanical binding);
• Short-Circuit: A fault in the motor or wiring (use a multimeter to test for continuity).

1. Power Down: Turn off the AC power supply to the drive;
2. Disconnect Wires: Unscrew the terminal blocks and disconnect the motor and control cables;
3. Remove Drive: Unscrew the drive from the control cabinet;
4. Install New Drive: Secure the new SERVOSTAR 614-AS to the cabinet and reconnect the wires;
5. Power Up: Turn on the power supply and verify the drive’s operation (check the “OK” LED).

1. Cable Connection: Ensure the EtherCAT/Modbus TCP/IP cable is connected to the correct port (Port 1 on the drive);
2. IP Address: Verify that the drive’s IP address matches the PLC’s configuration;
3. Protocol Settings: Ensure the PLC is configured for the correct communication protocol (e.g., EtherCAT).
