The servo drive drives the execution motor under the action of control signals, so whether the drive can work normally directly
affects the overall performance of the equipment. In a servo control system, the servo driver is equivalent to the brain, and the execution
motor is equivalent to the hands and feet. The role of the servo drive in the servo control system is to regulate the speed of the motor,
therefore it is also an automatic speed control system.
The working principle diagram of the servo drive is shown below:
Working principle of servo drive _ Internal structure of servo drive
The core control board of the driver, which transmits control signals and detection signals through the relay board, completes the dual closed-loop control shown
in the figure, including speed regulation and current regulation, to achieve speed control and commutation control of the motor.
The drive board of the driver receives signals from the main control board to drive the power conversion circuit, achieving the normal operation of the motor.
Internal structure of servo drive:
The internal structure of the servo drive consists of a power circuit, a relay board circuit, a main control board circuit, a drive board circuit, and a power
conversion circuit. The function of the power circuit is to convert external input DC power into different sizes of DC power output, providing DC power for subsequent relay boards,
drive boards, and power conversion circuits. The function of the relay board is to provide direct current to complete the transmission of control signals and detection signals.
