Servodrives have been developed for the European market
8 January 2025 
At the recent SPS show in Germany, the Taiwanese supplier Delta Electronics was showcasing its automation portfolio, including new AC servodrives which been developed specifically for the European market. Building on the earlier A3 high-end series, the new A3-EP drives offer precise control, high speed, and energy efficiency. They integrate with Delta’s DIAStudio ecosystem, offering a user-friendly interface and auto-tuning capabilities for optimised system configuration.
The drives are equipped with TÜV-certified functional safety functions, including Safety over EtherCat (FSoE), ensuring safe, reliable operation in critical applications. The drives support EtherCat and advanced communication protocols such as FoE and EoE. They are compatible with servomotors from Delta and third parties.
Also new on Delta’s stand was a series of HMIs for advanced control and monitoring in smart production and Industry 4.0 environments. The HMI DOP-300S Series HMIs are available with 7” or 10” screens, and optional Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connectivity.
The HMIs provide OEMs and systems integrators with secure connectivity for IIoT applications. They are equipped with dual Ethernet ports and a dual-core ARM processor. They support remote monitoring and troubleshooting from anywhere. The HMIs also have built-in SCADA functions, allowing data visualisation and remote monitoring. They support multiple PLC and communication protocols, with cloud-based visualisation and data storage capabilities.
Recognising the importance of cybersecurity in IIoT, Delta has achieved IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 27701 certification to ensure the security of its products and services.
“We’re further enhancing our complete solutions portfolio to meet the evolving needs of the European market,” says Michael Mayer-Rosa, senior director of Delta’s industrial automation business in the EMEA region. “We are placing an increased focus on functional safety, which is essential, especially in the mechanical engineering industry – one of our key target sectors.”
