EVEREST Series

SERVO DRIVES

EVEREST CORE

Everest CORE provides developers with a module that delivers maximum motor control capabilities with the flexibility to manage your own communications and additional features. The drive is commanded through an ultra-fast and safe SPI bus giving you the maximum design flexibility for multi-axis applications.

Configurable current range

Everest includes 16 bit differential current sensing with 4 configurable ranges so that you can get the best resolution for each application.

99% Efficiency

With an efficiency up to 99% due to its state-of-the-art power stage the Everest sets new standards for low heat dissipation in servo drives.

Industry leading performance

With a current loop running at 75 kHz and position and velocity loops at 25 kHz the Everest Core provides the best performance possible from your motor.

Plug-in module

Integrate Everest CORE into your own PCB design to get the most advanced motion control on your application.

High Speed SPI BUS

The Everest Core is controlled through an SPI bus with command update rates up to 30 kHz. This improves the cost-efficiency of embedding multiple axis into a single PCB while maintaining the highest performance and communication speeds.

Low Standby Power

The Everest Core helps reduce heat with a low standby power consumption of only 1.5 W.

EVEREST NET

Everest NET is based on the Everest CORE technology and includes CANopen and EtherCAT communications. Everest NET is the ideal solutions for distributed control applications that require specific form factors and additional circuitry. The Everest NET can be easily integrated into your own PCB design with its plug-in design.

CANOPEN and EtherCAT

The Everest NET supports both CANopen or EtherCAT communications which can be set through the configuration software interface.

Low LATENCY

Everest NET architecture allows for an EtherCAT bus latency of 2 cycles which is 125% faster than any comparable servo drive.

Plug-in module

Integrate Everest NET into your own PCB design to get the highest performance from your robotic joint.

Solder Free

Connect the Everest NET directly to your PCB without soldering if your continuous current is below ten amperes.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

The Everest NET is STO SIL3 PLe TÜV certified

EVEREST XCR

Everest XCR is based on the Everest NET technology and includes CANopen and EtherCAT communications. Everest XCR comes with connectors to facilitate its integration into your system. The drive features the most advanced transistor technology in the world and delivers the highest power density and efficiency while keeping negligible EMI.

Smallest servo drive

Everest XCR is the smallest servo drive in the world for it's power range and functionality. It has been designed with robotics developers in mind where space is at a premium.

Ready to use

Just connect your motor, configure your drive with MotionLab and get your robot or motor running.

Servo Drive Module

Easily integrate Everest XCR into your robotic joint or motor. You will just have to wire and configure your drive to get running.

Guided Configuration

MotionLab Configuration Software comes for free with every Everest servo drive. It lets you configure and tune your drive to get your application running.

Daisy Chain Biss-C

Connect two BiSS-C encoders on daisy chain to Everest and reduce the wiring on your application.

ETHERCAT OPERATING MODES – Technical Paper

Selecting the right mode of operation is quite complex, as each mode places different demands on the operating system and processing power of the Master. Application issues such as dynamically changing loads, custom control loop algorithms, and the need for on-the-fly trajectory changes also play a key part in mode selection. The paper outlines pros and cons of the major modes of operation, and concludes with a recommendation for the most common system architectures.
