The Epsilon EP is the newest “Motion Made Easy”™ servo drive from Control Techniques. The Epsilon EP is a compact easy to use servo drive that is scalable from a simple amplifier to a completely programmable 1.5 Axis motion controller.
The EP can be configured with fieldbus options and motion control capabilities to give you the best solution available at the lowest price. The Epsilon EP comes in four drive sizes, 2.2A, 4.0A, 6.5A, and 9A delivering over 100 lb-in of torque at the rated motor speed using XV motors.
Base: Epsilon EP-B
The EP-I drive is a highly capable position controller that provides Home, Index,
and Jog motion profiles. The EP-I holds up to 16 unique indexes that also can be chained together to create complex motion profiles. The powerful Homing function
of the EP-I provides the ultimate in flexibility without sacrificing ease-of-use. Best
of all, the EP-I has a unique alternate mode feature whereby the EP-I drive 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 fly! The EP-I can solve
countless applications in this very compact cost effective package.

compact cost effective package.
Programming: Epsilon EP-P
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 configuration software. PowerTools Pro uses simple drag-and-drop
and fill 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!”
Features:
• Position Tracker - Replaces a PLC-based position controller with a simple analog signal or fieldbus register.
• Analog Position Control - For precise control of applications using linear motors or valve controllers, and for those seeking to replace pneumatic devices.
• Digital I/O – With 16 optically-isolated inputs and 8 optically-isolated outputs for protection in harsh environments.
• Extra Power - 25% more power than the Epsilon series within the same frame size.
• Ethernet Programming - Communicate to PLC's via EtherNet/IP, or connect to an operator panel to display real-time variables via Modbus TCP/IP. Also enables you to bring up a web page from a remote terminal to view the drive status.
• DeviceNet - Available on both Programming and Indexing models.
• PowerTools Pro - One simple, intuitive - and FREE - tool to setup all Epsilon EP drives. Program your systems in
minutes, rather than days or weeks.
• Shunt Ready - Fitted with an internal transistor to control an external dynamic braking resistor (or "shunt").
• Profibus-Equipped - Profibus (Process Field Bus) is the world's most popular field bus.
