CONTENTS Defence procurement still up in the air

07

Plans to privatise the UK government’s defence procurement arm are set to be scrapped.

The Ministry of Defence had been considering replacing its procurement arm, the Defence Equipment and Support Agency (DE&S), with a ‘government-owned, contractor-operated’ (GoCo) body.

An announcement on December 10 revealed The DE&S will become “DE&S plus” and will see more input and recruitment from the private sector, Defence Secretary Phillip Hammond told the Commons.

He described the new arrangements as “a bespoke regime” which would “recognise the fact that it faces one of the most commercial sectors of the marketplace”.

The Bristol-based Defence Equipment and Support agency has an annual budget of £14bn for equipment, including ships, aircraft and weapons for the armed forces. Two of three consortia interested in the contract have now withdrawn.

As part of the Coalition Government’s plan to make the MoD more cost-effective, a number of options were being considered, including running it as a quango in partnership with a private contractor as well as a “GoCo”.

According to Defence Secretary Phillip Hammond, MoD procurement “is getting better” and that his department was “dealing with some of the most complex procurement projects anywhere in world”.

He told Andrew Neil on the Daily Politics show that he was “not going to apologise

He added that he would not rule out “allowing the private sector to challenge again in the future”.

Last month, former Tory defence minister Lord Lee of Trafford suggested the GoCo was “dead in the water” but at the time the government insisted a deal was still possible.

Lord Lee told peers there were now too few private firms bidding to take over the organisation, which employs 21,000 people READ MORE: across tinyurl.com/pkyjgkf the UK.

MoD: £79m early investment in Successor submarines

Hammond steals a look at the Reaper and other drones

Two contracts worth £47 million and £32 million have been awarded to BAE Systems Maritime-Submarines who are leading on the design of the vessels.

The Successor submarines will be the largest and most advanced boats operated by the Navy, and their design and construction will be the most technologically complex in the history of the UK. The investment will allow BAE Systems, who currently have more than a thousand people working on the Successor programme, to begin on some initial items for the submarines that are due to replace the Vanguard Class from 2028.

MoD has also released a picture which shows for the first time how the early designs of Successor are taking shape. The image forms part of an update on the Successor programme that has been presented to Parliament.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said: “This £79 million investment is another important milestone in our preparations to build these world-leading submarines.

The current Vanguard Class of deterrent submarines perform a vital role in the defence of the UK and the replacement for this capability is of national importance.

The Successor programme is supporting around 2,000 jobs, and up to 850 British businesses could benefit from the supply chain as we exploit the most MoDern technologies and employ a significant portion of the UK’s engineers, project managers

During a recent visit to RAF Waddington, Defence Secretary Phillip Hammond was shown the high-tech operations room at RAF Waddington, where members of 13 Squadron remotely operate the RAF’s Reaper aircraft in Afghanistan.

Reaper is just one of a range of UAS, including remotely-piloted air systems, operated by UK armed forces. Showing this work is a key way to dispel some common myths about the role of the equipment, which UK forces use predominantly in Afghanistan.

The Defence Secretary was shown the full range of current and future equipment, including Desert Hawk (Army), Black Hornet Nano (Army), Tarantula Hawk (Army), Watchkeeper (Army) and ScanEagle (Royal Navy).

In over 54,000 hours of operations, the UK’s Reaper, the only armed system used by British armed forces, has fired just 459 precision weapons.

and technicians over the coming years.

First Sea Lord Admiral Sir George Zambellas said:“The Royal Navy has been operating continuous at-sea deterrent patrols for more than 40 years and the Successor submarines will allow us to do so with cutting‑edge equipment well into the future.”

The submarines are being designed to be some of the stealthiest in the world and are expected to see operational service from the late 2020s right up to the 2060s.

The Successor design and build programme is amongst the most complex ever undertaken by British industry. The total number of MoD and industrial staff currently working on the Successor programme is around 2,000, with more than half working as engineers and designers.

Over 850 potential UK suppliers have so far been identified as benefiting from investment in the programme and as many as 6,000 people will be involved by the time that the construction READ MORE: reaches tinyurl.com/ovrh7zo a peak.

New Typhoons for 100 year-old Squadron One of the oldest squadrons in the Royal Air Force is to be re-equipped with the latest Typhoon jets, it has been announced.

The move is part of a transformation of the RAF’s combat air capability which will see the battle proven, Tornado GR4 aircraft replaced by state-of-the-art Typhoon and F35B Lightning II fighters.

Number II (Army Co-operation) Squadron, based at RAF Marham in Norfolk, celebrated 100 years of service in 2012 and is currently training for its next tour of duty in Afghanistan flying Tornado jets early next year.

After that, the unit will begin the process of swapping its Tornados for Eurofighter Typhoons and transfer to its new base at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland.

The move was announced by the Minister of State for the Armed Forces, the Rt Hon Mark Francois MP, who said

the change was part of the planned realignment of the RAF’s long serving, Tornado Force, under which all GR4s will leave the service by 2019.

France loses out on Brazilian jet deal France will lose out in its bid to win a multibillion-dollar fighter jet contract with Brazil, the Folha de Sao Paulo daily has reported.

The $4 billion proposal for 36 Rafale fighter jets from a consortium led by French giant Dassault will be rejected for cost reasons, it was claimed. It did not say who would be the likely winner of the highly prized contract.

The French bid is up against Boeing’s F/A‑18 Super Hornet and the Gripen, made

by Sweden’s Saab, for its FX-2 program.

French President Francois Hollande has held talks with his Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff during which he backed sharing technological know-how and saluted increasing bilateral trade.

EVENT PREVIEW

INTERNATIONAL ARMOURED VEHICLES 2014

In February, Defence IQ will once again be hosting International Armoured Vehicles, complete with conference, exhibition and test track at FIVE in Farnborough. The 2014 show will focus around the theme of ‘return to contingency’ and the challenges and opportunities this could provide for both military and industry International Armoured Vehicles conference is the only event of its kind to balance the unique advantages of a high level conference, exhibition floor, which includes a comprehensive range of static displays from OEMs, and a live test track demonstration area. As such, International Armoured Vehicles is the leading forum in which to engage and network with the global decision makers and solution providers that are looking to do business in this sector.

By delving into the overarching conference theme of ‘return to contingency’, International Armoured Vehicles 2014 will be looking at the potential return to the old habits of a costly and often unrealistic Standard Acquisition Process. The conference will therefore examine how, in an era of contracting budgets, the pressure is on for industry and the end-user to come together to refine all elements of the process from the requirement, to the development phase, to the trials phase, and all the way through to through-life support and upgrades.

The agenda will begin with a pre-conference focus day on Monday 3 February, which will focus on trials and qualification management.

This is a forum that is specifically designed for trials and programme managers to engage with their peers and to discuss trends in what to look for during trials and, most importantly,

how to ensure that trials results project the best outcome for the soldier.

What’s more, Philip Dunne, Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, will be giving a ministerial keynote presentation.

DEBATING THE HOT TOPICS The main two-day conference and exhibition will kick off on Tuesday 4 February 2014 and will showcase the latest innovations in technology on the exhibition floor. In the main conference room, discussions surrounding operational mobility, simulation and training and maintenance will be brought to the forefront by high level international speakers.

Other key discussion topics include a European focus on assuring protected mobility; Feedback from France on operations in Mali; a G7 Industry showcase; C4i innovation; and delivering cost effective training and simulation for the mounted soldier.

International Armoured Vehicles 2014 will be brought to a close on Thursday 6 February

by a post-conference focus day centred around a holistic assessment of emerging security, blue light and civilian requirements for personnel protection. The focus day will look at some of the key questions currently being asked within the sector, including: What can this marketplace learn from military end-users and vice versa? What are the differences, if any, between operational blue light counter-terror requirements and military urban environment requirements?

INNOVATION STAGE AND TEST TRACK Running alongside the main conference will be the IAVs Innovation Stage and the Test Track. The innovation stage will allow for the added bonus of hearing from the exhibitors on the latest technologies from within the sector and engage in active discussions on the future capabilities and solutions that the industry is heading towards. Additionally, the test track capability area will showcase the exhibitor’s latest technologies and vehicles.

ARMOURED VEHICLES MARKET REPORT 2014-2024 Additionally, ahead of the conference, Defence IQ, has released its third annual ‘Armoured Vehicles Market Report’ for the period of 2014 and onwards, exploring how the future of the

of international militaries are “confident” in their own regional growth and improvement, believing their armoured vehicles fleets to be more potent in 2023 than at present.

India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Brazil and Turkey are perceived as the top growth hotspots, respectively. Meanwhile, blast protection and counter-IED measures are still viewed as the most critical capabilities above the likes of ballistic protection or mobility. Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles top the list of options most in demand for armies in the foreseeable future, followed closely by Armoured Personnel Carriers and Light Protected Patrol Vehicles.

This report suggests that, despite much uncertainty, the market is expected to remain stable for the next seven years, with the majority of growth being driven by countries in the Asia‑Pacific and Middle East, and by those others with a strong need to replace their cold war era systems. Additionally, expenditure in more established regions, primarily in North America and Europe, will continue in order to sustain existing capabilities, but fleet sizes will be reduced and new programmes limited. However, budget limitations will open more doors for multinational ventures and COTS solutions.

MECHANICAL PROCESSES

ZERO COGGING SERVOMOTORS Many design engineers working in the field of motion control are familiar with slotless motor designs, but may wonder if these specialised motors significantly improve machine performance. In many cases, they can…

Slotless motors offer more torque per frame size, produce more power, run smoother and achieve higher speeds than their slotted counterparts. This is a closer look at the technology, plus realistic tips on evaluating whether or not your application could benefit from a slotless motor.

SLOTTED SERVOMOTOR CONSTRUCTION A traditional slotted brushless servomotor has a stator made of stamped metal sections called laminations that are stacked to form teeth. Wire is wrapped around these teeth; when current flows in the wire, an electric magnet is created in the stator. Permanent magnets are fixed to the rotor.

As in slotted motors the permanent magnets in slotless servomotors are fixed to the rotor. However, a slotless stator is built without teeth. Motor windings are wrapped around a temporary mould and then encapsulated to keep them in place.

Eliminating the teeth yields many benefits.

BENEFITS OF SLOTLESS MOTORS Higher torque: a slotless motors redesigned stator allows the rotor to be significantly larger, because torque increases proportionally to rotor diameter. Torque from a given slotless motor is significantly higher than that from a similarly sized traditional slotted motor. Due to the absence of teeth, the area available for windings is also greater – which further increases torque. More specifically torque at a given speed can be increased by up to 25 per cent compared to a slotted motor.

Higher speed: as the magnets pass by the teeth in a slotted motor, a change or modulation in the magnetic flux is created. This, in turn, induces voltage in the surface of magnets per Faraday’s Cage Law (e=dø/dt) these magnets are conductive so a current flows in them.

These Eddy currents, as they are called, increase exponentially with speed and create heat in the magnets, which in turn diminishes their strength.

As slotless motors have no teeth they can achieve speeds in excess of 32,000 rpm.

Higher power: power is calculated by multiplying torque by speed. As a slotless motor outputs higher speeds and torques, it can produce more than twice the power of a slotted motor.

Smoother motion: as the magnets on a slotted

motor’s rotor move past the stator’s iron teeth, they are magnetically attracted. This creates a torque disturbance known as cogging. As there are no teeth in a slotless motor, cogging is eliminated – yielding a smoother motion.

Easier turning: motors with larger rotor inertias can be easier and simpler to tune. If the load becomes momentarily decoupled from the motor (a common phenomenon,) the servo loop is less likely to become unstable if motor inertia is high relative to the load. In fact, precise servo turning and filtering, which can be difficult to achieve, may not be required with a slotless motor.

Better stiffness: a rotor with a larger diameter has greater stiffness because torque increases with rotor diameter and a higher torque motor responds faster to any displacement from the commanded position.

The torque displacement curve is steeper.

Higher efficiency: all of the above traits boost the efficiency by up to 25 per cent over that of slotted motors.

DRAWBACKS OF SLOTLESS MOTORS Despite their benefits, slotless motors have their drawbacks and are therefore not suited to every application. For any given size, slotless motors

must have significant experience with resin materials and the potting process itself. These manufacturing challenges could increase the cost for both manufacturer and end user.

APPLICATION BENEFITS Higher torque is beneficial for most applications and is often the first thing an engineer seeks when choosing a motor. More torque usually means higher acceleration and greater machine output. Additional torque also means a smaller motor may be used, which can save money.

A motor that can run fast may be the obvious choice for high-speed applications, but faster speeds can also help reduce overall machine cost and help increase machine output. If the machine’s mechanics can handle higher speeds a faster move time is possible. If gear reduction can be selected to optimise torque at higher speed a smaller motor can be used, therefore saving money and weight. Additional power may also eliminate costly secondary mechanics that can shorten machine life and escalate maintenance. Two specific applications illustrate indispensable slotless motor benefits.

Grinding: smooth motor motion (generated by slotless motors) is imperative because the cogging affected can produce an undesirable finish on final parts.

Battery-powered designs: the higher efficiency and potentially smaller size of slotless motors extends operation.

Slotless motors offer more torque per frame size, produce more power, run smoother and achieve higher speeds than their slotted counterparts generally have larger diameter rotors, and because rotor inertia increases with the rotor’s diameter, inertia can increase significantly.

Consider an application where load inertia is very low compared to motor inertia and high acceleration is required. In this instance, a slotted motor may be able to accelerate faster than a slotless one. If the slotless motor’s additional torque cannot compensate for the higher torque required to accelerate the system.

A slotless motor may also be difficult to manufacture. The manufacturer may need to develop customer winding equipment because standard equipment does not do the job. If the choice is made to encapsulate the motor windings in resin to enhance performance and create a more rugged motor, the manufacturer

Infranor’s success in precision markets has been strengthened by the successful launch of the Xtrafors Prime series of zero cogging servomotors offering the latest technology in slotless design. These have been used in Ordinance feed systems as well as linear and rotational positioning systems, giving the product high torque and speed with modular construction and zero cogging in a compact size.

DSEI 2013

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR DEFENCE – www.defencebusiness.net

DSEI 2013 enjoyed the strongest ever attendance from UK ministers and the MOD, with the Secretary of State for Defence, Philip Hammond, providing a keynote address highlighting DSEI’s importance as a showcase for the global defence industry An impressive 32,169 visitors attended Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2013, a rise of 13 per cent on the previous record in 2011. The exhibition featured 1,489 exhibitors, representing 54 countries, and included 40 international pavilions. 97 official delegations from 56 countries attended, marking a 30 per cent increase on DSEI 2011, while the number of additional VIPs who attended increased by 20 per cent to 1,034.

The event enjoyed the strongest ever attendance from UK ministers and the MOD. Secretary of State for Defence, Philip Hammond, provided a keynote address on the show’s opening day which highlighted DSEI’s importance as a showcase for the defence industry: “This exhibition is an excellent example of the opportunities that we can create when government and industry work together, hand-in-hand, with a shared objective.”

He explained that while Defence Reform is ongoing to make a smaller, more efficient MOD, these plans are echoed in what is now

expected of industry: “By making MOD a more intelligent customer, we’re putting the emphasis on industry to make itself more efficient, to reduce its overheads, to streamline processes, to invest in the latest equipment facilities.

That, I know, will not be a pain-free challenge.”

A total of tors visi 32,169 Defence SIGNING OF THE d attendey Equipment CORPORATE COVENANT it & Securational (DSEI) On the penultimate day of DSEI, four Intern , a rise of defence companies – 2013 r cent BAE Systems, ISS Facility 13 pe 11 Services, BMT Group and on 20 General Dynamics UK – signed the Corporate Covenant, which was launched earlier this year. It is a written and publicised voluntary pledge from businesses and charitable organisations who wish to demonstrate their concrete support for the Armed Forces community.

All corporate covenants include a core statement of commitment that those adopting the scheme sign up to.

This covers the two key principles of the armed forces covenant, which are: that no member of the Armed Forces community should face disadvantage in

the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen, and that in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved.

Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans Mark Francois said: “Our Armed Forces and their families give everything to our country so I am delighted that BAE Systems, ISS UK, BMT Group and General Dynamics are signing a corporate covenant.

“I would encourage other organisations and charities from across the country to get behind the corporate covenant and do their bit to support the Armed Forces in any way they can.”

As part of their corporate covenant commitments, BAE Systems will work with Recovery Career Services and the Career Transition Partnership to support employment of Service leavers, and ISS Facility Services will offer internships to members of the Armed Forces.

John Whelan, UK HR Director at BAE Systems, said: “BAE Systems is proud to be one of the first signatories to this corporate version of the armed forces covenant. Our company is committed to supporting the men and women of the Armed Forces and we see resettling ex‑military personnel as an important part of our resourcing strategy for future military projects.

importance that these key emerging players place on DSEI. India, a previous exhibitor, increased its presence significantly, mounting both public and private sector pavilions.

Other newcomers include Chile, which joined Brazil in representing Latin American growth markets, while the UAE was among the list of Middle Eastern nations at the event.

SIX ZONES OF EXHIBITORS In total, DSEI 2013 enjoyed a strong exhibitor presence across each of its six dedicated zones: Land, Air, Naval, Security & Special Forces, Medical & Disaster Relief and the award winning Unmanned Systems Showcase.

Visitors to the Land Zone witnessed Nexter Systems unveiling the Titus armoured vehicle, while Finnish company, Patria introduced its Next Generation Armoured Wheeled Vehicle concept. Air Zone highlights included daily briefings from the RAF presentation team, fixed-wing static displays such as the Eurofighter Typhoon and Spitfire, as well as rotary static displays including the Merlin Mk II and Wildcat.

Demonstrating its strength as the fourth pillar of DSEI, the Security & Special Forces Zone was expanded fivefold on its 2011 footprint to accommodate 70 exhibitors, while the Medical & Disaster Relief Zone showcased products from a wide range of

first-time exhibitors such as Lifesaver Systems, Prometheus Medical and Safe Patient Systems.

THE NAVAL ZONE The vessels docked alongside the ExCeL arena formed a significant element of the strongest maritime proposition the event has ever offered.

This included two vessels from the Republic of Korea, marking the first time that the Korean Navy has visited London since the 1960s.

The impressive roster of vessels also included: the German Braunschweig Class Corvette, FGS Magdeburg; the Dutch Holland Class Corvette, HNMLS Groningen; HSwMS Vinga and Ulvon – two Swedish MCMVs which have been very recently updated.

Meanwhile the Royal Navy despatched a Type 23 Frigate and a River Class OPV. In order for visitors to get the most out of this unique fleet, specially conducted tours, organised through the show’s Ships Visits E

EVENT REVIEW

DSEI 2013

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR DEFENCE – www.defencebusiness.net

The Corporate Covenant

The Corporate Covenant was signed on the penultimate day of the event, when Mark Francois, the Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans, was joined by BAE Systems, ISS Facility Services, BMT Group and General Dynamics UK, in order to pledge their support for the Armed Forces community  Bureau, were staged, offering arranged government, military and industry representatives a valuable opportunity to view the latest developments in naval ship design and equipment.

The international nature of DSEI’s naval proposition was also evident from the breadth of nationalities to be found in the shipyards exhibiting this year. For the first time the likes of Cammell Laird, Lurssen, ThyssenKrupp, Damen, Daewoo and Hyundai Heavy Industries were present, in addition to Asmar, Mazagon Dock, Babcock and BAE among others. An enlarged US Maritime Pavilion also featured, in conjunction with an inclusive showcase of prime contractors and niche suppliers displaying the latest technological developments.

The event also offered an extended programme of live waterborne demonstrations to demonstrate the cutting-edge maritime equipment on display. The programme included the first public demonstrations of several RIBs, Force Protection Craft, Blue Force Tracking systems and unmanned MCM surface and subsurface vessels.

NAVAL THEATRE The naval theatre, located within the Naval Zone at DSEI 2013, hosted a keynote address from Admiral Sir George Zambellas, KCB DSC. He said: “The Royal Navy has this amazing legacy of maritime technical innovation and, to stay ahead of developing threats, we need to maintain this innovative edge through you, through industry, through your technologies. Customers, suppliers, partners in this relationship, we all bear responsibility to think ahead and to innovate.”

The First Sea Lord was joined by an impressive array of eminent naval representatives who lead a series of presentations and panel sessions related to the day’s theme – Future Capabilities.

The programme began with an international panel discussion that compared the nations’ processes and policies for identifying and capturing capability requirements for maritime forces, in particular for the wide range of possible and challenging contingency operations in the emerging security environment.

Senior international and British panellists

Launched earlier this year, the corporate covenant is a written and publicised voluntary pledge from businesses and charitable organisations who wish to demonstrate their concrete support for the Armed Forces community.

All corporate covenants include a core statement of commitment that those adopting the scheme sign up to. This covers the two key principles of the armed forces covenant; that no member of the Armed Forces community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen; and that in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved.

At DSEI, four defence companies – BAE Systems, ISS Facility Services, BMT Group and General Dynamics UK – signed the corporate covenant.

EVENT REVIEW  THE BRITISH ARMY For the first time, the British Army had a stand at this year’s event. Instead of focusing on the equipment that is on show at DSEI, the Army team of 40 personnel spent the exhibition speaking to industry representatives to encourage them to think of the human aspect of designing equipment.

Brigadier Angus Watson explained: “Fundamentally, military capability is a combination of people and equipment that go together. The emphasis at DSEI is on equipment, but equipment is less effective unless the people who operate it are factored into the design process.

Technology is of little utility unless the human dimension is factored into the design.”

GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY To cement the importance of the relationship between government and industry, in September, a new initiative was announced, designed to identify the defence sector’s core strengths and set out how both government and industry will work together to maximise the UK’s competitive advantage to boost British jobs, trade and growth.

Called ‘Security Prosperity – a strategic vision for the UK Defence Sector’, it was developed by the Defence Growth Partnership (DGP).

Business Minister Michael Fallon and Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, Philip Dunne, attended DSEI discuss the new initiative.

Steve Wadey, co-chair of the DGP and Managing Director of MBDA, the company that has developed the new Sea Ceptor missile, explained the benefit of the

For the first time, the British Army had a stand at DSEI. Instead of focusing on the equipment that is on show, the Army team of 40 personnel spent the exhibition speaking to industry representatives to encourage them to think of the human aspect of designing equipment recently-formed DGP at the event: “I see the DGP as being a huge opportunity for the UK at a national level. It creates the opportunity for MOD and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to talk at a senior level with the defence industry to find new ways of working.”

UNMANNED SYSTEMS SHOWCASE Another popular highlight was the Unmanned Systems Showcase, which included a daily scenario demonstration of Northrop Grumman’s unmanned ground vehicle systems. Headlining the demo programme was CUTLASS, Northrop Grumman’s latest generation UGV for the remote handling and surveillance of hazardous threats and Andros Titus, the company’s newest and most intelligent member of the Andros family of UGVs. Offering visitors a compelling and highly informative focus on the growing unmanned systems sector, the dedicated Unmanned Systems Theatre hosted a number of leading experts such as Cairns Police, Australia who explored factors affecting the wide

spread use of UAS by Queensland Police.

The seminar theatres across all 6 zones were often standing room only across the week, further highlighting the popularity of all the sessions and the event as a whole.

“The records broken this year demonstrate that DSEI continues to strengthen its position as the world leading defence and security event,” said Event Director Duncan Reid.

“Traditional markets such as Europe and North America were well-represented, whilst the significant growth in presence of emerging markets like the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, bodes well for the future.

“Even at this early stage I can confidently predict that DSEI 2015 will outperform this year’s edition due to the lasting relationships forged with the UK MOD, international delegations and exhibitors – who have re-booked more space for the 2015 show than they did in 2013.” L

DSEI 2015 will take place at ExCeL London from 15-18 September 2015.

XTRAPULSPAC: THE SMALL DEVICE FOR THE TOUGHEST OF REQUIREMENTS

Advertisement Feature

THE BUSINESS MAGAZINE FOR DEFENCE – www.defencebusiness.net

The most recent addition to INFRANOR’s product range is XtrapulsPac, a compact and flexible low-power AC servo-controller with outstanding capabilities. It provides functions and interfaces to cover a wide range of single-axis and multi-axes applications XtrapulsPac can be easily configured as a stand-alone controller in various operation modes. It can also be integrated into an automation system with PLC, CNC or motion controller via the fieldbus and uses well-known standard functions available in libraries. This flexibility makes it suitable for use in a wide field of machines and applications, and is available in a small device at an affordable price, which meets the most demanding requirements.

Control loops: digital drive for AC synchronous motors – current loop 62.5 μs – speed and position loop 500 μs – closed loop control of position, speed or torque – max speed, up to 25,000 rpm.

Feedbacks: resolver – incremental encoder – hall sensor – sinCos encoder – single and multi-turn Hiperface® encoder.

Communication interfaces: RS-232 up to 115.2 kbit/s baud rate – CANopen or EtherCAT® fieldbus – DIP switches for node address.

Safety features: safe torque off SIL 2.

I/O interfaces: user configurable digital I/Os – all digital inputs opto-isolated – analog inputs ± 10 V/12-bit resolution – analog output 0-5 V/ 8-bit resolution – ‘amplifier OK’ output – motor brake control – two-channel STO function.

MODES OF OPERATION DS402 standard modes: interpolated position mode – profile position mode – profile velocity mode – profile torque mode – homing mode.

DS402 extended modes: analog speed mode – stepper emulation mode – sequence mode – master/slave mode stand-alone operation – analog speed drive – positioner – stepper emulation – electronic gearing.

Stand-alone operation: analog speed drive – positioner – stepper emulation – electronic gearing.

Configuration tools: motor and drive configuration – application configuration – interface configuration – auto-tuning, auto-phasing – sequencer programming.

Project tools: project creation – project management – file-handling services – motor libraries – multilingual software.

Diagnostic tools: device control – device monitoring – object dialog window – multi-axis oscilloscope.

A FREELY CONFIGURABLE DRIVE The drive configuration includes servo-loop parameters, motor and sensor parameters, communication parameters and I/O configuration parameters. The configuration parameters can be stored into the drive’s non-volatile memory.

The XtrapulsPac drive can be controlled via the fieldbus (CANopen or EtherCAT), via the analog input (analog speed drive), via the PULSE and DIR inputs (stepper emulation) or via the digital I/Os (stand-alone positioner), according to the selected operation mode.

To allow Infranor an even more flexible approach to servo-controller, servo-amplifier solutions it also has the XtraPulsCD1 servo drive. XtrapulsCD1-a all-digital servo modules are PWM servo drives that provide speed control for AC sinusoidal motors (brushless) equipped with a position sensor. The XtrapulsCD1-a system is available as a stand-alone single-axis block including all supplies as well as the mains filters, and is 230 VAC or 400/480 VAC mains operated.

The XtrapulsCD1-a drive can be configured for the feedback of various position sensor types. The appropriate position sensor configuration is selectable by software and saved in the drive. With a resolver sensor feedback, the motor absolute position value over one revolution is available and the servo motor can immediately be enabled after the drive power up.

With a ‘SinCos tracks’ sensor that provides two analog Sin and Cos signals electrically compliant with the SinCos encoder signals and which period is equal to the motor pole pitch, the servo-motor can be immediately enabled after the powering of the drive.

With an absolute single-turn SinCos encoder feedback (Heidenhain ERN 1085 or compliant), the servo motor can also immediately be enabled after the drive power-up.

With an incremental encoder only, a motor phasing procedure must be executed at each drive power up before the motor enabling.

With an incremental encoder + Hall Effect Sensors (HES) feedback, the motor-phasing procedure is no more necessary and the servo motor can immediately be enabled after the drive power up.

With an absolute single-turn, muti-turn or linear encoder using the ENDAT or HIPERFACE communication protocols and fitted with incremental SinCos outputs, the servo-motor can also be immediately enabled after the powering of the drive.

The motor speed or torque input command is an analog voltage (± 10 V). The rotor position monitor is available as two channels A and B in quadrature, and one marker pulse per revolution. The resolution is programmable. All the values between 64 pulses per revolution (ppr) and 16,384 ppr can be programmed according to the motor speed limitation.

All command parameters are programmable by means of a serial RS-232 link (or RS-422 optional) and saved in an EEPROM. The auto-phasing and auto-tuning functions allow the easy and quick commissioning of the drive.

CAN and Profibus options of the XtraPulsCD1 are also available in both 230 VAC and 400/480 VAC mains supplies. L FURTHER INFORMATION info.uk@infranor.com www.infranor.com
