Meeting the demands of modern lean manufacturing environments requires smaller more flexible machinery. Digitax ST is the first ever drive designed to help machine designers and system integrators meet these challenges, the ultimate compact servo drive with an unmatched depth of flexible integration features. Designed around you Digitax ST is optimised for servo applications requiring high peak torque, dynamic response, ease of use and flexible integration features. Four product variants ensure that the drive’s personality perfectly matches your servo applications. ● Digitax ST – Base
Optimised for centralised control, to operate with motion controllers, motion PLCs and IndustrialPCbased motion systems using a wide range of digital or analogue interface technologies. ● Digitax ST – Indexer
Designed for simple stand alone positioning applications using an onboard position controller. Fieldbus, Ethernet and I/O enable connectivity to other automation components. ● Digitax ST – EZ Motion
This drive offers a stand alone solution for many common indexing and synchronised motion applications. This is achieved using a unique, PC programming interface that guides the user through the drive, I/O and motion configuration. ● Digitax ST – Plus
Features a full functionality motion controller, optimised for high performance machine cells requiring drive-to-drive networking and precision synchronisation. The motion and communications are configured within a flexible IEC61131-3 software development environment using PLCopen function blocks. Fieldbus, Ethernet and I/O connectivity enable interfacing with other automation components and Intellectual Property protection ensures that your valuable knowledge remains secure. Reliability and Innovation
Digitax ST is designed using a well proven development process that prioritises innovation and reliability. This process has resulted in Control Techniques having a market leading reputation for both product performance and quality. 
Global Service
Control Techniques’ 54 Drive Centres located in 31 countries ensure that service, support and expertise are just around the corner, all around the world. Reduced Development Time
Three motion programming options allow you to choose the style youprefer, either CTSoft index motion, IEC61131-3 environment with PLCopen functions or PowerTools Pro, drag and drop functionality and a BASIC-like programming language. Servo and fieldbus option modules are independently certified for conformity with open standards to ensure interoperability. CAD files in both 2D and 3D formats make it easier and quicker to design the drive into your machines. Quicker Installation
Innovative mechanical design reduces the installation time considerably. The mounting arrangements enable the bottom of the drive to be quickly clipped on to standard DIN rail and the cable management system features rigid mounting and earthing brackets. Pluggable control terminals enable looms to be easily prepared. Click-in option modules mean the drive can be customised to your needs at the point of installation without specialist tools and gives the flexibility to customise the functionality at a future time. Reduced Commissioning Time
Digitax ST is quick and easy to set-up. The drives may be configured using the removable keypad, Smartcard or the supplied commissioning software to guide the user through the configuration process. Selected Unimotor FM models enable the motor dimensions to be stored onboard the encoder as an 'electronic nameplate'. This data is stored during the motor manufactuing process and provides Digitax ST with the motor dimensions enabling automatic motor setup, further reducing the commissioning time. Auto-tune features help you to get the best performance by measuring the machine dynamics and automatically optimising the control loop gains. CTScope, a real-time software oscilloscope, is supplied for tuning the drive and monitoring performance. Smarter Thinking
The Smartcard, included with every drive, enables parameters to be safely stored and copied quickly from one drive to another. This feature significantly reduces the commissioning time when installing multiple servo systems with similar configurations. More Compact Machinery
Digitax ST is an extremely compact servo drive that can be mounted side-by-side with other drives or components without leaving space. The result is an incredibly high packing density for multiple axes. Onboard features such as synchronised motion control and Safe Torque Off reduce the need for external components further reducing cubicle sizes and cost. Matched Motors
Unimotor FM is a performance matched range of servo motors. FM means Flexible Motor, available in six different diameters with a wide range of motor lengths, rated speeds and feedback devices.Factory fitted options include integral brakes and servo gear boxes. Digitax ST operates successfully with other manufacturers’ servo motors including linear motors and almost any feedback device. Increased Value
How do you increase the value of your machines whilere ducing your costs? Digitax ST offers reliability, and the performance to increase speed, repeatability and accuracy while also reducing the size and cost. Digitax ST addresses all of the challenges associated with modern machine design. Courtesy of Control Technique |
