Product Description
This installation guide describes the Piccolo servo drive and the steps for its wiring, installation
and power-up. Following these guidelines ensures optimal performance of the drive and the
system to which it is connected.
2.1. Drive Description
The Piccolo series of miniature servo amplifiers is designed for DC brushless motors and
incorporates custom mixed analog/digital ICs and a hybrid power stage. The basic configuration
is a current mode amplifier targeting the OEM market. As such, no trimmers are used in the
basic version. The Piccolo amplifier meets UL508c and the relevant CE regulations.
The Piccolo power stage is implemented on a single ceramic substrate. This design enables very
high thermal conductivity, high current carrying capacity, improved EMC and good mechanical
strength. The control section is implemented by dedicated custom ICs that contribute to
enhanced performance.
