Epsilon EP
“Motion Made Easy”
TM
230V Servo Drive Systems
www.controltechniques.com
Listening to their motion control customers, the engineers at
Control Techniques have incorporated several advanced features
and capabilities in the Epsilon EP family to make these drives
more powerful and easier to use.
Real-Time Programs
A Real-Time Program (RTP) is a user program that executes in a
set number of servo update periods. RTPs allow for synchronous
execution of external I/O updates, communications routines, or
external PI control loops. They even can be used for creating
motion profi le modifi cations while the application is running.
Camming
Programming electronic camming has taken a huge step forward
with Control Techniques’s easy-to-use camming function, which
can execute a variety of cam profi les without a single line of
program code. For advanced capabilities, user programs can
access a wealth of cam information for unprecedented fl exibility.
Cam motion can be dynamically monitored and easily modifi ed
on-the-fl y.
Modbus Master
Modbus Master creates a whole new level of machine control
capability. No longer limited to the drive’s on-board I/O, the
Modbus Master can manage a very large number of I/O and
communicate updates to any Modbus slave device, giving machine builders extensive control options.
Position Tracker
TM
Analog Position Control and Fieldbus Position Control allow the
Epsilon EP to replace an expensive PLC motion control module
with a simple, low-cost analog signal or fi eldbus register.
With Postion TrackerTM, the closed loop feature of the position
controller has been brought into the drive itself. The user simply
sends the drive an analog or fi eldbus signal that is proportional
to the absolute motor/actuator position. Advanced features,
including Teach functions, speed the set up.
Timers
Built-in Timers provide a simple and accurate way to trigger an
action based on a previously initiated time delay. Select from up
to seven different Timer types to match your needs.
Ethernet programming
The EP-P drive uses common Ethernet protocols for all levels of
networking – To setup and monitor your application, communicate to PLC’s via EtherNet/IP, or connect to an operator panel
using Modbus TCP/IP.

RoHS-compliant models available.
Epsilon EP is
“Motion Made Easy”
Epsilon EP, the compact and easy
to use servo drive, is scalable from
a simple amplifi er to a completely
programmable 1.5 Axis motion
controller. The Epsilon EP comes
in three fl exible models, and fi ve
drive sizes — 2.2A, 4.0A, 6.5A,
9.0A and 16.0A, able to deliver
over 40Nm of torque at the rated
motor speed.
New features and benefi ts
Empty Text Box
Three functional confi gurations
Base: Epsilon EP-B
This base drive is ideal for servo applications utilizing an external
motion controller. It accepts an analog command signal and sends out
position feedback. The EP-B has the unique capability of combining an
analog command with a preset velocity for trimming or advance/retard
operations. The EP-B drive is an excellent choice for stepper replacements or centralized control systems.
Indexer: Epsilon EP-I or EP-IDN
The EP-I drive is a highly capable position controller that provides
Home, Index, and Jog motion profi les. The EP-I holds up to 16 unique
indexes that also can be chained together to create complex motion
profi les. The EP-I has a unique alternate mode feature whereby it can
perform an Index or Home function, and then switch to an alternate
mode such as analog toque, analog velocity, or pulse follower mode
on the fl y! This compact indexing drive is a cost-effective solution for
countless applications.
Programming: Epsilon EP-P, EP-PDN and EP-PPB
The EP-P drive provides the highest level of control by allowing
the user to create complete user programs to sequence the motion
control along with other machine functionality. The EP-P can be used
to solve the most complex motion applications and still be easy-to-use
because of the PowerTools Pro confi guration software. PowerTools Pro
uses simple drag-and-drop and fi ll in the blank screens that make setup
a snap. User programs are created using a text based motion language
that is as easy to read as it is to program. If you don’t know the command, just drag it in from the drop down box and PowerTools Pro will
assist you with the syntax. With intuitive software and plenty of online
help, programming this servo drive is easy; in fact it is
“Motion Made Easy!”
