Using the TML language, multiple operations can be performed with ISD860: setting of various motion modes (profiles, PVT, PT, electronic gearing or camming, etc), change of motion modes and/or parameters, execution of homing sequences or program flow control.
ISD860 works in single-axis, multi-axis or stand alone configurations.



Based on the Technosoft (Switzerland) MotionChip DSP technology, ISD860 is a flexible intelligent drive specially developed for motion applications that need cost-optimized design, embedded intelligence, networking possibilities and high servo performance control. Features include:

  • The ability to drive 12 A (continuous) and 31 A (peak) currents at a supply voltage ranging from 12 to 72 VDC, with a PWM of 20 kHz frequency.
  • An embedded motion controller, drive and PLC functionality in one unit.
  • A footprint of 136 x 84 x 26 mm.
  • The ability to control brushless, DC or linear motors up to 860 W continuous, 2.2 kW peak voltage.
  • Advanced motion control algorithms.
  • A precise control of position.
  • Speed or torque over a wide range of dynamic conditions.
  • Motion programming that can be done from a CAN master, via PC / PLC, using the appropriate motion library, or directly at drive level through its built-in motion controller.
  • An embedded Technosoft Motion Language that includes a high-level command protocol, which can be used by the host through the on-board RS232/CAN serial interfaces.
  • A CANopen version, supporting DS-301 and DSP-402 profiles, that is available.
  • The ability to be managed with programmable I/Os or analog inputs, in stand-alone operation.
  • The ability to handle digital I/O and analog input signals, execute arithmetic and logic operations, and transfer data between axes.
  • A drive that can control other axes via motion commands.
  • The ability to send commands to a group of axes, or synchronize all the axes from a network.

Why Would I Specify?

  • ISD860 works in single-axis, multi-axis or stand alone configurations.
  • The drive setup, tuning and motion programming are simple with EasyMotion Studio and Technosoft Motion Language (TML).
  • Using the TML language, multiple operations can be performed with ISD860: setting of various motion modes (profiles, PVT, PT, electronic gearing or camming, etc), change of motion modes and/or parameters, execution of homing sequences or program flow control.
