AMKmotion’s ihD servo inverter, designed for decentralised installation, stands out thanks to its minimal space requirements and well-designed cabling. Power, STO (Safe Torque Off), 24 V and fieldbus communication are all transmitted via a single cable. Thanks to the daisy-chain method, multiple servo inverters can be easily connected in series, reducing cabling costs by up to 70% compared to centralised drive systems.
Another advantage of the ihD-DT5 version is that the inverter is mounted directly on the motor series with integrated control electronics. This eliminates the need for external cabling and significantly simplifies installation.
High-performance electronics in a smart design
The ihD delivers powerful, dynamic performance even under demanding conditions. With a rated current of eight amps, it can provide triple overload for one second – ideal for applications involving dynamic load peaks and high cycle rates.
A standout feature of the ihD is its flexible connection concept. Depending on the installation setup, the hybrid input connector can face either backwards or upwards. The stand-alone version of the ihD also features a plug that can rotate through 300 degrees for motor and encoder connections. This makes integration into existing machine concepts much easier, saving space and cabling.
The ihD also impresses with its intelligent energy management: excess energy is distributed to all connected servo inverters via a shared DC bus, reducing losses and increasing overall system efficiency. With IP65 protection, the ihD is ideally suited to demanding industrial environments, remaining unaffected by dust, moisture or vibrations. At just 165 × 100 × 60 millimeters, the ihD is extremely compact for its power class. This enables even more space-saving decentralized drive solutions – a major advantage where installation space is limited. The ihD is entirely plug-in compatible. There is no need to open the inverter for connection, and when the system is de-energized, installation can be carried out without requiring specialized personnel.
