The Epsilon EP is a compact easy to use servo drive that is scalable from a simple amplifier to a completely programmable 1.5 Axis motion controller with FM4 capability. The Epsilon EP comes in three drive sizes, 2.2A, 4.0A, 6.5A and 9A delivering over 100 lb-in of torque at the rated motor speed. Best of all, the EP-P drive comes with EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP at no additional cost, and “Position Tracker™” enables users to eliminate the expense of a PLC-based position controller.

The Epsilon EP is the newest “Motion Made Easy”™ servo drive from Control Techniques. The Epsilon EP is a compact easy to use servo drive that is scalable from a simple amplifier to a completely programmable 1.5 Axis motion controller.

The EP can be configured with fieldbus options and motion control capabilities to give you the best solution available at the lowest price. The Epsilon EP comes in four drive sizes, 2.2A, 4.0A, 6.5A, and 9A delivering over 100 lb-in of torque at the rated motor speed using XV motors.

Three functional Configurations

Base: Epsilon EP-B

The EP-B drive is ideal for servo applications utilizing an analog command signal and position feedback reference. The drive can be configured into five operating modes: Analog Torque, Analog Velocity; Preset Velocity; Pulse follower, or Analog Position. The EP-B has the unique capability of combining an analog command with a preset velocity to create a new command for trimming or advance/retard operations. The EP-B drive is an excellent choice for stepper replacements or low cost control systems.

Indexer: Epsilon EP-I or EP-IDN

The EP-I drive is a highly capable position controller that provides Home, Index, and Jog motion profiles. The EP-I holds up to 16 unique indexes that also can be chained together to create complex motion profiles. The powerful Homing function of the EP-I provides the ultimate in flexibility without sacrificing ease-of-use. Best of all, the EP-I has a unique alternate mode feature whereby the EP-I drive can perform an Index or Home function, and then switch to an alternate mode such as analog toque, analog velocity, or pulse follower mode on the fly! The EP-I can solve countless applications in this very compact cost effective package.

Programming: Epsilon EP-P

The EP-P drive provides the highest level of control by allowing the user to create complete user programs to sequence the motion control along with other machine functionality. The EP-P can be used to solve the most complex motion applications and still be easy-to-use because of the PowerTools Pro configuration software. PowerTools Pro uses simple drag-and-drop and fill in the blank screens that make setup a snap. User programs are created using a text based motion language that is as easy to read as it is to program. If you don't know the command, just drag it in from the drop down box and PowerTools Pro will assist you with the syntax. With intuitive software and plenty of online help, programming this servo drive is easy; in fact it is “Motion Made Easy!”
