1398 UltraServo
The ULTRA Series now offers a wider range of power and greater flexibility
than ever before. ULTRA Series spans a wide power range, from 500W all
the way up to 15kW. Moreover, the ULTRA Series provides universal
compatibility, minimizing training and maintenance costs, reducing life cycle
costs, and improving productivity. ULTRA Series. One standard. A multitude
of advantages.
The ULTRA Series provides five
standard and two optional interfaces.

With the ULTRA drives, you also have the option to simplify your system
by using DeviceNet (ULTRA 100 only) and indexing. The DeviceNet option
allows you to reduce wiring and installation expenses, operate with other
manufacturer’s components, rapidly troubleshoot, and modify individual
parameters remotely via the network. The Indexing feature allows you to
obtain performance and flexibility where complex motion control systems
are not cost-effective.

ULTRA Standardization
The ULTRA Series is a family of single axis digital servo and positioning
servo drives designed to offer flexibility and performance for a wide range
of applications. The ULTRA 100 and 200 Digital Servo Drives offer drive
users new versatility and ease of use. Drive setup, commisioning, and
troubleshooting are quickly accomplished using the Windows-based ULTRA
Master software. The ULTRA Plus Positioning Servo Drives combine control
and drive to create a powerful single axis motion controller. Application
programming, commisioning, and troubleshooting are done with the graphical,
Windows-based GML™ ULTRA software.
Finally, a feature-rich,
high-performance drive
you can depend on.
All ULTRA Series drives are designed and manufactured for peak performance,
rugged reliability, and unmatched versatility.

ULTRA Series Digital Servo Drives
When you standardize on the ULTRA Series of universal drives, you’re also
standardizing on ease-of-use. ULTRA Master software is an intuitive,
Windows™-based interface that comes complete with online help and quick
startup windows that simplify your setup.
But ULTRA Master is more than just a configuration tool. It also comes with
powerful, field-tested productivity tools such as:
• On-screen digital oscilloscope for fast tuning and diagnosis
• A full array of on-screen meters and other software tools for rapid debugging
and measurement
• Instant access to critical information with complete online help

buffer, making tracking down what went wrong effortless.
ULTRA Master software means there’s only one interface to learn, only one set
of diagnostic tools to remember, and only one name to call when you do need
help. So you save time, reduce your learning curve, and simplify the integration
and debugging of your system. And that means fewer maintenance headaches,
less downtime, and a lower life cycle cost for all your drives.
Even the best drives need some attention from time to time. By standardizing on
the ULTRA Series, when you do have to service a drive, you’re sure to have the
replacement up and running in no time. With ULTRA Master software, you’re
always just a point and click away from downloading all your replacement
drive’s setup parameters – all without making a single adjustment. Or, when you
need an alternative to the powerful ULTRA Master software, the ULTRA Series
drives also use a replaceable, nonvolatile personality module. Parameters can be
quickly transferred to the replacement drive without a
PC, just by swapping a chip. Which means your off-
the-shelf drive performs exactly like your old
drive. So your machine, your process, and
your people are back up and
running in no time – exactly
as before.

A Drive Smart Enough To Protect Itself
The unexpected can happen in any application. That’s where a drive smart
enough to monitor critical parameters can make the difference between an
unexpected shutdown and catastrophic machine failure.
The ULTRA Series drives are designed from the start to protect themselves
and your machine against the unexpected. Built-in short circuit protection
(phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground), overcurrent, overvoltage, and
overtemperature protection all safeguard your system.
The ULTRA Series of versatile drives is designed for the brutal environments
that tough drives have to endure. That’s why the ULTRA Series makes
extensive use of large scale integration both on the lower side with third
generation Intelligent Power Modules (IPM’s) and with high density custom
ASIC’s (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) for low component count
reliability.
We put our drives through rigorous environmental chamber testing for vibration,
shock, humidity, and temperature as well as an extensive array of electrical and
performance tests to ensure the drive you put on your machine will do the job,
