Introduction to the ASDA-M Series

Delta's ASDA-M Series is a three-axis intelligent AC servo system which has successfully

integrated control, motion and drive into one servo system and is ideal for multi-axis motion control

applications. With this innovative 3-in-1 design, the ASDA-M demonstrates a perfect combination of

motion controller and servo system, and has received excellent feedback from customers.

The development of the ASDA-M is in response to positive market feedback on our ASDA-A2.

The ASDA-M offers high resolution, high frequency response, built-in electronic cam (E-Cam),

auto notch filters, vibration suppression, full-closed loop control, friction compensation and a

more flexible position register control PR mode. It also provides strong motion control functions and

advanced design to meet a variety of applications for all types of industrial automation machines.

The ASDA-M goes beyond the typical servo drive. It includes 3 axes servo drives in one frame to

provide 3 axes synchronous motion control and it supports real-time data exchange among 3 axes

without any time delay. Users can perform 3-axis linear / arc / helical interpolation functions easily.

In addition, the ASDA-M features a new gantry control function for synchronous control that is

precisely adapted to pure rigid mechanical systems. The upgraded ASDA-Soft software provides a

built-in contour analysis function to strengthen system diagnosis capabilities.

The ASDA-M supports DMCNET and CANopen communication protocols. Connecting to DMCNET

extension digital input and output modules increases system extension flexibility and control

needed for application customization. The CANopen and RS-485 interfaces enable the servo

system to integrate with other parts of the automation more efficiently and effectively.

The ASDA-M is a highly-integrated servo system that demonstrates Delta’s expertise in innovation

and integration, giving a new definition to servo system and offering a new automation vision for a

changing world.
