The ABB ACSM1 AC servo drive can provide basic speed or torque control modes as well as versatile

motion control features.

It also supports a wide variety of servo motors due to the flexible nature of the modular feedback

interface modules.

Introduction

The aim of this application note is to outline how to configure an ACSM1 drive to run with an ABB BSM

series AC servo motor.

ACSM1 drives can control induction, synchronous and asynchronous servo and high torque motors with

various feedback devices.

The compact hardware, different variants and programming flexibility ensure the optimum system

solution.

This series has a rugged, durable, industrial design.

Many of the BSM motors are capable of peak torques equal to four times their continuous rating,

which can be used to provide high acceleration torques in applications.

BSM motors are available with a wide variety of feedback devices to suit application needs.

IEC and NEMA configurations are available as well as stainless steel variants.
