ABB MicroFlex e150 servo drive

The MicroFlex e150 servo drive is designed to control a wide range of motion applications from simple point-to-point motion to advanced motion. The servo drive combines ethernet technology, advanced multitasking programming and single-phase operation in a compact package.

The MicroFlex e150 can operate from 105 to 250 VAC single- or three-phase and is available in multiple current and power ratings. The drive is designed to control a wide range of demanding motion applications, such as cutting and forming, pick and place, packaging, pharmaceutical/life sciences and laser/water-jet/textile cutting machines.

The embedded ethernet interface offers EtherCAT for real-time control of multiaxis systems and with additional software EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and Raw Ethernet, enabling control possibilities with other controllers such as PLC and industrial PCs.

ABB’s MicroFlex e150 is a highly intelligent drive offering Mint programming as standard. Mint is a multitasking language that is tailored for motion applications. This simple but powerful programming language within Mint WorkBench PC tools provides control of communications, logic, motion and HMI interactions. It allows a fast and simple set-up and can be packaged into a single data file suitable for email should support assistance be required.

The drive meets the latest European machinery standards for safety with the Safe Torque Off (STO) feature included as standard in accordance to IEC 61800-5-2, SIL3 PLe.
