Vortex TruDrive High Power and High Voltage Brushed DC Servo Motor Driver based on Chan SMC3A
Today i will show you one of my servo motor drives that i have done a few years back. The drive name is Vortex TruDriv e and version of V2.0 . This drive is designed and upgraded by myself based on ELM-Chan SMC3a servo controllers. Although passing so many years , we are still using him project. At the orginal topic , there is a circuit schematic which published by Chan himself. The circuit is a bit old for nowadays and some having hard time to find components on it. And also the circuit doesn't have any protection and was not able to drive high power motors especially for industrial ones. Several years back from today , my retro Matsuura CNC motor controllers went wrong and unable to repair. The cnc has 3 axis of beautifull Yaskawa Electric Minertia Motor J Series. Those motors has 112V 11.5A 1100W of power rating. When old drives are dead , i was looking for alternative solution for cnc. Because of that reason, i decided to upgrade SMC3A drive to the high voltage , high p
